EUPHORIA VS ISOLATION Concepts of euphoria and isolation are how the project commenced. Factors such as the structure of the city, culture diversity, harsh climate, the style of education and somewhat modern life affect how people feel.
PEOPLE AND SPACE Human interactions affect the shape of space during time in a spontaneous and unpredictable way. These drawings are made in Houdini.

MARS INHABITATION PROGRAM MASTERS YEAR 1 ADVISER: HERBERT ENNS 2019, WINNIPEG, CANADA Software: Revit, AutoCad, Blender, Rhino, Photoshop, Illustrator
This project is about colonization on Mars formed according to the landscape and remoteness. It is a compacted city on Mars; first steps of colonization of Mars. A group of scientists and engineers, about 20 people leave Earth to live on Mars and do experiments and prepare for the arrival of next generations. The main project is located on south pole of Mars, however the prototype of which would be settled in Iceland on Langjรถkull glacier, over the man-made ice cave. This is a prototype of a new lifestyle for future generations living on mars. Since the environment is harsh and inhabitable on Mars, a shell is needed to protect the interior from the outside. There is the possibility of expanding the settlement on Mars by

HOUSE OF MUSIC UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO 6 ADVISER: NOOSHIN ZIASHAHABI 2017, TEHRAN, IRAN Software: Revit, AutoCad, Blender, Photoshop, Illustrator
House of Music is a place, where people can perform many activities related to music. In order to create a space suitable for students, teachers and visitors, I enquired a few musicians what they expect from such place to apply those qualities in the design. Architecture and Music have many characteristics in common. Musical elements such as dynamics, phrasing and timber can also be interpreted as elements in architecture, such as luminosity, movement and materiality,

COLLISION TYPOLOGICAL MODELS Based on Afterimage concept, the collision of deformed negative spaces and the site would be something in between. The typological models fade to each other, in a way that the traces of both objects can be seen. The resulted collision is where people can live. The definitions here and the place itself defines its function.

The aim of this project is to create a space, in which not only people could interact and socialize, but also learn about different types of arts. The presented arts are the ones which are taught in Tehran University of Art. There is a combination of green spaces and educational-cultural place. For easier commute and having a green view, the ground level consists of a green landscape and pedestrian paths. So, the arts are in the lower groundlevel and makes the place more cozy and friendly, without cars intrusion. Based on De Stijl rules, a grid was firstly made on the site plan and based on the functions, later the squares and rectangles got colourized. Blue ones are the art buildings, the yellow ones are green areas, red ones connect the arts and the gray one is public space, where people can communicate.
