Function and Form Finding

The four primary functions required for this project were residentials, cultural centre(library-gallery-art classes), commercial centre and sky parks. The site is located between two main streets: two towers are located in the northern and southern parts with different heights because of access to natural light. At the same time, access to the commercial centre and cultural centre is available for both and from the northern street. Additional space, such as parking, installations, entrance lobby, etc., are located accordingly. Several alternative forms of two high-rise buildings are modelled in Grasshopper to reach the best shape of access to light, fresh air, best view and planing un-modular flats in one, double and triple floors.

Structural design

The truss-tube without interior columns is a system used in these high-rise buildings, enabling them to resist lateral loads from wind, seismic pressures and so on in Tehran, which is prone to earthquake. The structure of this building is a hybrid, which refers to a wide range of constructions that employ the tube as a core concept and supplement it with various structural supports.

Because one system cannot give sufficient strength or stiffness, this method is adopted.

Natural-light Analysis and Aerodynamic Behaviour

To locate and number the floors, was analyzed natural light and shad of the building used in the Ladybug plugin in Grasshopper. In this section, four alternatives based on the height, area and location are considered. The result of these studies and the combination of its output with the three-dimensional site analysis has determined towers' volume and location.

To form this building, wind loading and its consequences are crucial. The method of analyzing the aerodynamic behaviour of this high-rise building was the wind tunnel test in Flewdesign software. Compared to the building's previous shape, separate and twist modified the flow pattern around the building to the better one.

Plan Design

The goal of designing the tower plan was to design non-modular plans because of increased flexibility and adaptability for each user. You can watch it on Youtube with scanning QR code on the first page.
