Recreating of Tehran-Tabriz railway axis Proposed Value :

A scenario of several continuous strategies for the reconstruction of the upper axis of the Tehran-Tabriz railway tunnel in order to achieve a green axis, tourism and in accordance with the entrepreneurial ecosystem

Description :

After examining the location of the social and physical fabric of the upper axis of the Tehran-Tabriz railway tunnel, the most important possible strategy for its regeneration was to take advantage of hidden potentials of the context, thus We encountered several issues in this area, firstly, the lives of low-income people, secondly, the existence of many industrial factories, thirdly, the lack of an integrated visual identity, and finally, the dispersion of land use at the axis levels.

Our proposal was to create Tehran’s timeline as a center for getting acquainted with old, present and future of Tehran, so we divided the whole axis ( included more than 4 Killometer ) into six sections in accordance with this theme. in this walking timeline , the user goes from a village life ( urban agriculture ) to future of tehran (Innovation centers like Startups and ... Located on this area ) , Another point of this

urban area was the existence of widespread unemployment , so In addition to creating a sense of dynamism, we tried to create a platform for the making of up-todate jobs by creating a suitable atmosphere, such as urban agriculture, micro-spaces for businesses, etc.

Point of view :

Architecture to my view is a multidisciplinary knowledge about culture, economy, environment and Defenitly a future-oriented thinking to Solve Problems.

I think the most important thing in new Global Context Depends on make strategy for needs of people. so as an architect, Obtaining knowledge in project management, entrepreneurship and related knowledge seems to be a necessity to Developing Architecture Discipline. First I’ve studied in Architecture to Starting Explore as an Architect , then in next Level of study i saw this fact that every architect should stay aware and be skilled with Project management and Construction tools , let me tell you one more about my idea , i think each human in the innovative Global Context should be an entrepreneur to make better world, And according to this belief i’ve studied in entrepreneurship course , so now i am skilled for doing my Ideals , i have Founded some Platforms to doing these , like Good Architecture Programme as an Social Platform to Raising the awareness of the community about City and Architetcure and the social responsibility of architects to improve the quality of people’s lives , Good Architecture shows The highest level of satisfaction and comfort of the people from the architectural space with Considering Quality of Architecture.

What am i looking for :Learning, new experience and developing ideas AND Make Things Better By Problem Solving...

Enghelab Street Rehabilitation The project encompasses both the rehabilitation of the façades of 114 existing buildings – including 54 of particular interest – and the creation of a public cultural space between the national theatre and opera house. The project was developed through community consultations involving 1,000 invitations, 300 hours of meetings, 200 agreements and numerous plans and drawings. Owners were encouraged to collaborate in the renovation process and maintain their buildings thereafter – favouring preservation over demolition. The rejuvenation of the façades has transformed the street’s appearance.

Workshops the Workshops that i have participated

ARCH(K)INETIC The project “ARCHINETIC” is seeking for the adaptation and manipulation of contextual ornaments for structural performative surface tessellation in relation to adaptive kinetic building envelopes. This includes a variety of considerations from architectural geometry to physical and digital form-finding and material – form – structures relationship. The two week’s workshop ARCH(K)INETIC 2016 investigated pneumatically actuated compliant mechanisms for adaptive kinetic building envelopes in combination with strategies for structural performative surface tessellations and adaptation of contextual ornaments. The workshop took place from 3rd to 18th September 2016.this workshop organized by CAAI and ITKE (Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design) / Role : as a Team Member for Research , Design and Construct

Selected Cell At the first place, each triangle as a independent cell is divided to 3 equal small triangle which can be bent toward each sides of primary triangle

One of the most reliable reasons to select this alternative as a suitable pattern is about optimization of whole fabrication in order to improve the capability of chosen pattern to expand gradually and more to have less materials consumption In this case each part can work along with adjacent parts

Architecture and Time Machine Book A journey through Literature and Architecture! It was a wonderful experience alongside powerful people and amazing juries. We learnt that Architectures is not only about buildings and in this very first workshop in the world which connected these two fields we found new windows through thinking and designing. the jury committee: Farhad Ahmadi - Architect / Raham Ahmadian - Architect / Houshang Amir Ardalan - Architect /Leila Hatami Actress and Translator /Golnaz Raadi Azarakhshi - Author / Omid Rouhani - Cinema critic, actor and doctor / amid Reza Sepehri - urban planner and publisher / Bita Fayyazi - Sculptor / Taraneh Yalda - Architect and Urbanist / David Spore Scholar and author / has Held on April 2019

In this workshop I chose the Time Machine book and tried to conceptualize the concepts and time sequences of this book using the features of an architectural work. As a result, I categorized the concepts of the book, extracted its features and concepts of social value, and consequently I have spatialized it into an architectural space.Five spaces with five distinctions that complement each other at the same time. The paradox of the story was interpreted in space, The paradox of the story was interpreted in space And the light, the shadows, and the elements of the architecture, describe a space of illusion that evolves and perhaps reaches nothing and the power of not knowing, as in the story. As a result, the Time Machine Book has become a glass cube with some non-transparent angles, which is divided into various pieces and leads to perfection. And at the bottom is a space that receives the sun’s alternating light and reaches an infinite range.

Affordable housing Design in Cambodia Building Trust international have just announced their 8th design competition which is in association with the United Nations Development Programme and the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone. The competition entitled ‘Affordable Housing Design Challenge’ challenges architects, designers and engineers to submit an innovative design proposal for new affordable housing for low income workers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The aim of this competition is to design modern, affordable homes for the workers in and nearby PPSEZ. The design should have a sensitivity to the local culture and tropical surroundings and where possible provide a sustainable solution that enhances the local architectural tradition, in which locally sourced renewable resources are used to provide natural temperature and humidity regulation. As the costs related to sustainable technology solutions decrease, opportunities arise to integrate new technology innovations into the design , These new units should be well-designed, sustainable and most importantly improve the quality of life of the intended residents and the surrounding community. More than just housing, this new project should build a future for workers and their families in Cambodia. Decembr 2018 /Design Team : Navid Ganji , Amir Malekshahi
