ECHO CHAIR
+
FURNITURE DESIGN Throughout history, chairs have symbolized the life and times of a designers and consumers. Chairs are everywhere we go, with infinite variations. At the same time, those variations and changes hold so much meaning. As a primarily western cultural symbol, a chair has social and cultural meaning. Chairs can communicate status and lifestyle, emotion and comfort. Echo Chair challanges the iterative nature of modern furniture design to confront the unbalanced sociopolitics within the act of sitting.

UMA EXHIBITION
umeå school of architecture
The exhibition showcases a collection of fragments across all years and studios at Umeå School of Architecture. Since the exhibition was completely online, I proposed to initiate a visual dialogue between the physical environment and virtual objects. The wirefame objects including UMA letters and random shapes inside and outside of the building try to establish an eye-catching and playful relation with each other.

#Modeling/Rendering (Sketchup + Lumion) #Post Production (Photoshop) 2017 The Baleal Fortress is a significant landmark located within a remarkable place; a powerful natural scenery where the remains of the Fortress rises from the landscape and together with the cliff surfaces eroded by the wind are notable features within this setting. Our intervention within such a spectacular place tried to emphase, respect and celebrate the site and existing ruins, while providing visitors with a unique experience.

Knack Snack is a brain training app that encourages children to keep motivated to eat healthy food on a daily basis.
Game characters behind their narratives The game aims at helping children from 6-13 to form a relatioship between healthy food diets and their achievements in the game. We came up with the idea of upgradable characters that grow and get stronger as long as the player feeds them with healthy food. Each character of the game has a role to play in order to fill the plate which is the inventory of the gamer. The challenge was to create four different worlds that connect with each other throughout the narrative of the whole story.
IV
At the end of each game round, the player’s score is transfered to the tray in the form of healthy food.
The designed archipelago comprises of four different islands: the mountain, the rocket launching site, the waterfall and the factory. The colour palette associated to each island is specific to its own, creating a unique visual narrative in relation to the game character.

Illustrations for mini games.
To explain the ideas behind the game, a booklet was developed.

Social media motion graphics designed for Mashhad Architecture Instagram Page
The visual identity of “Mashhad Archtiecture” is designed to be clear, prestigious and responsive. Given that the website is aimed to inform about architectural events, the timeline and the members of the community, the idea was to showcase 3 main sections in the website so that users will have instant access to the timeline of the events and the profile of MA members which facilitates the communication between the professionals and the students. mashhadarchitecture.com
