THIS MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECT FEATURES TWO DISTINCT BUILDINGS CONNECTED BY A CENTRAL GLASS ATRIUM, CREATING A COHESIVE AND DYNAMIC EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. THE ATRIUM SERVES AS A TRANSPARENT, LIGHT-FILLED GATHERING SPACE THAT FOSTERS INTERACTION AND COMMUNITY, WHILE A STRIKING Z-SHAPED STAIRCASE PROVIDES SEAMLESS VERTICAL CIRCULATION BETWEEN FLOORS. THE DESIGN EMPHASIZES OPENNESS, CONNECTIVITY, AND A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE, USING NATU-

Two-Building Concept:
The design is composed of two separate buildings, each with its own distinct functions, connected by a central glass atrium. This dual-building approach could allow for a separation of different school activities or grade levels, promoting a more organized and functional space. The separation also provides opportunities for each building to have its own identity while still being part of a cohesive whole.

Glass Atrium
The glass atrium serves as a pivotal element, both visually and functionally. It acts as a transparent bridge, connecting the two buildings and creating a central gathering space. This atrium likely plays a crucial role in promoting interaction between the two sides, facilitating easy movement of students and staff across the school.
Light and Visibility
The extensive use of glass in the atrium not only floods the interior spaces with natural light but also allows for continuous visual connections between the two buildings. This openness enhances the overall atmosphere of the school, making it feel more expansive and connected.
Circulation
The Z-shaped staircase within the glass atrium is a key architectural feature. Its dynamic form not only provides vertical circulation but also serves as a sculptural element within the space. The staircase likely encourages movement and interaction as students and staff traverse between floors, making it an integral part of the daily flow within the school.

his school provide its stude ts with flexible classrooms, different outdoor nd indoor space, like indoo art and sport space, cafe, roof garden, outdoor occer field. These spaces or anized in the two buildings are all connected to allways.

HALL
The central glass atrium acts as a sustainable hall and helps to exhust stale air. Also, it has two tall trees to freshen the air. In addition, every space in the two buildings have view and visual connection with the hall.

Two classrooms next to each other have a shared teacher room which can be transformed to a transition when needed Two classes can merge together and shape a bigger atelier for different uses

THE VILLA'S DESIGN IS A MODERN, DYNAMIC STRUCTURE EMBEDDED INTO A HILLSIDE, CONSISTING OF TWO DISTINCT VOLUMES SEPARATED BY A WALL AND CONNECTED BY A BRIDGE-LIKE ELEMENT. THE USE OF STONE ON THE LOWER LEVELS AND WOOD ON THE UPPER LEVELS CREATES A HARMONIOUS BLEND WITH THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE. LARGE WINDOWS AND TERRACES ENHANCE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, WHILE AZ-SHAPED STAIRCASE WITHIN THE GLASS ATRIUM SERVES AS A FOCAL POINT. THE VILLA'S FORMAL CONCEPTION EMPHASIZES A BALANCE BETWEEN MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND ITS NATURAL SURROUNDINGS, UTILIZING THE SLOPE TO GUIDE CIRCULATION AND MAXIMIZE VIEWS.

Integration with the Landscape
The building appears to be embedded into the hill, with the lower portion merging with the terrain and the upper part extending outward This design choice likely helps to minimize the visual impact of the building on the landscape while providing expansive views from the upper levels .

Separation of Spaces
The villa's form is characterized by its division into two distinct volumes, connected by a bridge-like element over an open space This separation may suggest different uses for each part, perhaps separating private and public or service and living areas The wall between the two volumes creates a sense of separation and privacy while still allowing visual and physical connectivity
Project 2: Divided house
Cantilevered and Elevated Forms
The use of cantilevered elements, particularly in the upper levels, creates a dynamic form that contrasts with the solid, grounded base. These overhangs provide shade and outdoor space, emphasizing the villa's modern design language.
Project 2: Divided house
The villa's siting on a hill suggests that the circulation through the site and building is influenced by the natural slope. The layout of the buildings and the path leading to them likely take advantage of the views and the elevation changes, enhancing the spatial experience.

Sustainibility
The wall in your design serves as a pivotal element, both separating and connecting the two volumes of the villa It 's designed with textures and materials that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, likely using stone and integrated greenery. This wall not only marks a transition between different spaces but also enhances the overall connection between the architecture and the landscape, making it a central feature of the design
Divided House
Materiality and Texture
The use of materials like wood and stone in the design enhances the villa's connection to its natural surroundings . The stone appears to be used on the lower levels, grounding the building and linking it to the earth, while the wood cladding on the upper levels adds warmth and texture

THIS CULTURAL CENTER, INSPIRED BY PERSIAN MOTIFS, FEATURES A HARMONIOUS BLEND OF TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. THE USE OF ARCHED WINDOWS AND BRICK FACADES, COMBINED WITH THE VERTICAL ELEMENTS LIKE TALL CYPRESS TREES, EVOKES A STRONG SENSE OF PERSIAN ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE. THE DESIGN SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATES CULTURAL SYMBOLISM WITH FUNCTIONAL SPACES, CREATING A MEANINGFUL AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT FOR VISITORS.

The design is composed of three main parts, each serving distinct functions, all connected by a central hall that acts as the entrance and lobby The plan reveals a well-organized layout with spaces like an amphitheater, gallery, and various workshops, all oriented around the central lobby, ensuring smooth circulation and a cohesive spatial experience.
