As an interdisciplinary architect who studies urban design, I am a questioner for sustainable concerns in context-sensitive design across diverse project scales. A curious positive team player who is looking to integrate sustainable strategies to foster people's engagement while respecting the natural environment. Proficient in advanced CAD, BIM, and visualization, and a creative mindset storyteller through animation and photography.
M.Sc Sustainable Urban Design
My design aproach is based on the democratic dialogue from the past to the future, from art to nature, from ancient to cutting-edge Technology to give an appropriate answer to the world's concerns in the Digital framework.

Academic Project | Reykjavík, Iceland | 2024
This project is a comprehensive initiative that aims to transform the cityscape by striking a delicate balance between urban development and natural landscapes. Through a strategic approach that combines activation, forestation, and neighboring strategies, the project seeks to create a harmonious and sustainable environment that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
STRATEGIES | Deforestation in Iceland's urban development poses a significant threat to local wildlife and biodiversity. As the population continues to grow, the demand for housing, infrastructure, and jobs intensifies. Balancing urban growth with environmental preservation is crucial. Green Neighbouring vision could establish through three main strategies: Forestation, Activation, and Neighbouring
Activation strategies play a crucial role in revitalizing underutilized spaces within the urban fabric. Community engagement programs, cultural events, and public art installations are just some of the ways in which these areas can be activated to foster social interaction and community cohesion.
Neighboring strategies are designed to strengthen connections between different parts of the city, creating a more walkable and cohesive urban fabric. Pedestrian-friendly streets, mixed-use developments, and interconnected public spaces will encourage social interaction, reduce reliance on cars, and promote a sense of community among residents.

The digital Garden focuses on the green space, a space with educational-commercial multi-use, where video games, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) are used as space interactions. These tools help to manage green spaces, such as taking care of plants and meeting their needs.
PROCESS | The landscape is designed in a way that the minimum surface reflection is done to prevent the phenomenon of urban heat islands. On the other hand, a shell is placed on the roof to help the rainwater drainage for daily uses. Also, this roof creates an isolated space under it that provides an environment for the growth of seasonal plants for all seasons.

PROJECT BRIEF | The heritage of Tehran includes its past and contemporary times. Watching it requires a full-length gaze. The observers of this heritage are citizens and strangers who need to see another dimension and form without defamiliarization. And this observation comes to intuition when a flip and accident happen. An event in which the audience has a role.
DESIGN PROCESS | The form is based on climatic conditions and the design process. The facades of the building are analyzed in terms of the amount of radiation. Views seem to have the benefit of radiation. Although in winter, unfavorable light enters the facade. But the roof of the building is exposed to maximum radiation. Therefore, a solution must be found to prevent this direct radiation.
CLIMATE FORM ANALYSIS | The form is designed based on climate, with facades analyzed for radiation exposure. While winter light is unfavorable, the roof receives maximum radiation, requiring a solution to block direct sunlight.

PROJECT BRIEF | The main goal in the design of this project was to achieve the highest quality of life in each unit, taking into account Iranian culture. In this way, the effort was to establish factors such as light, green space, privacy, access, and visibility to their optimal quality at the urban living level. In the traditional module of Iranian courtyard houses, the open space was formed in the center and the biological mass was formed in its vicinity.
| The internal courtyards are built in a stepped manner so that each of the double units facing each other can use to create a better sense of privacy and help to take better care of each courtyard. Separating private spaces from semi-private was the most challenging issue in design. Also, the natural lighting in the entire field is at its highest level. All these factors have provided conditions for biophilic design with the highest quality of life in each residential unit.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN | The Material of the ground, Benches, and lighting are used to create connectivity spaces to help communication of residences and create security through the complex. Natural trees have played a major part in creating positive landscape views and privacy. This role is working through the building. The interior voids contain two green spaces where there are a variety of trees.
