Architectural Internship

Thanks to the Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architecture office to provide me with the chance of a seven-month Architecture Internship in Copenhagen. As an Architecture intern during the last four months, I have brushed up my knowledge not only in the design process but also in case of critical thinking. I participated in a competition in Washington DC in a group of four people in the study/analysis phase, design development, and presentation that we won it. I have also helped with some diagrams and illustration drawings of the laboratory design project for MIT. And Currently, I am working on materrial studies and Enscape renders for a mixed-used project in Norway. During the last four months, I could imagine and see how academic studies can be translated into real design and resulting in a design for all people. Working and collaborating with professional architects with rich backgrounds and experience is the real honor that I have that makes me more eager to learn more and more. I have felt the SHL DNA and I can see the process of design and design development in this office which makes me so interested in keep updating my architectural and software knowledge.

So far, I have learned:

- New Softwares such as Rihno, Snippets of Grasshopper, Enscape and Spacemaker to do environmental analysis. Using the professional exact tools to have wind, light, and view analysis help me to have the real Idea of design context and jump out of the academic box.

- Working with Layser cut maschine

- Facade and interrior material studies touching real pieces of materials in the office have helped me to have a more exact and wider knowledge of the design materiality.

I would like to mention that the Work samples cannot the shared on account of the projects security Terefore, here I have a new interrior render done just to share how I have learnt to do the renders with the help of Rihno, Enscape and Photoshop.

Port wine museum in Porto | Portugal

University of Politecnico di Milano, Piacenza, Italy

Studio Design II | Group work | Spring supervisor: Camilo Rebelo 2022

concept

Port wine is a Portuguese fortified wine that has got its fame in whole portugal. This famous wine is mainly produced in Duoro Vally of northen Portugal. It is typically a sweet red wine that used to be transported to Porto city by Rabelos (large boats to carry barrels) from Duoro to Porto through the Duoro river. After a vast study on wine yards, traces and the plantations types and growth condition we came to the conclusion of bringing the landscape to the city along designing the museum. The idea of the crack comes from not only the roots opening their path in rocks to grow, but also from the porto streets among blocks.

REFLECTION

Strategical landscape design in Cremona | Italy

University of Politecnico di Milano, Piacenza, Italy

IC landscape representation and modeling | Individual | Winter 2022 supervisor: Alessandro Bianchi

concept

Cremona is a city in the Lombardy region of Italy developed and built up in the center, surrounded by agricultural lands and detached from the PO river. The main strategy of this project, is to make a connection between the city and the Po, to greenery, to restorative projects linked to the landscape, to the environment, and to slow mobility. Therefore the path is devided, beginning from the city center and reaching the Po river, into three main zones including: the city center, agricultural lands, and the riverside. Visitors will enjoy their walk through the designed path with the concept of using mirrors aiming to see themselves as a part of the landscape and reach the riverside.

Agricultural lands

City center

City Center

A city, compatible with all addresses is one of the main goals of each municipality. Cremona is designed to have continiued bike path, fine paved pedesterianns, linear greenaries, appropriate fuurnitures and large mirrors with their cubic geometry.

Agricultural lands

Farm lands and the abandoned cascinas are going to be a calm and cozy area for people, walking and riding, to enjoy the natural area for doing exercises, picnicing, buying the local product and enjoying of being in the green lands.

River side

Walk paths along the river in two levels connected with huge stairs and ramps provide people with playful roads and zones to sit and enjoy the view. Tall cubic mirrors, inspired by the trees, are invisible in the forest and make people seeing themselves in the natural landscape.

PATCH THE GAP

Strategical landscape design of Naviglio Martesana in Milan | Italy

University of Politecnico di Milano, Piacenza, Italy

Urban and environmental design studio | Group work | Spring 2021 supervisor: Fabiano Lemes De Olivera

concept

The proposal is to Connect the center of Milan City to the peripheries. The whole Milan was devided into nine wdges so that each group were supposed to follow the same goal for their own wedge. Ours was the one shown on the Map. The Wedge of us has a crucial node point where Navigli Martesana and River Lambro intersect eachother with other infrustructure making a ‘’X’’ mark on the wedge itself/The highway alongside the Lambro devides the wedge into two zones: areas with greener infrustructure and less built nfrustructure. Areas adjacent to Naviglio Martesana are considered of landscape importance, but to the contrary, it is occupied with built infrustructure creating an ambiguity within the wedge. Numerous parks adjoining river Lambro and Navigli canal are por maintained and are less used by the locals.

BETWEEN AGES

a multi-age sustainable micro-town in Horta in Barcelona | Spain

University of Politecnico di Milano, Piacenza, Italy

Studio Design I | Group work | Fall 2020 supervisors: Hofert Feix Karin Elke - Dell’ovo Marta concept

As known, the world’s becoming older and older each year and as such the complexity of generations especially in terms of housing and everyday life, keeps increasing. Therefore this project tends to create a specific habitat for people of different ages and generations in multi dimensional ways, and most importantly on how to break the stereotypes of each group of people in a shared environment. The composition of functions on the site sticks to this idea whereas each element plays an important role in the design itself, inside the site and outside it. There are four main dimensions that drive the site towards the surrounding and the city, a challenging advantage of the environment and its complexity of the topography and landscape, a well structured mobility system of new roads and soft mobility that will coexist with the existing infrastructures, a range of new public and semi-public spaces which will make and encourage the social aspect of the site, a rich economy which is obtained by the many commercial areas on the ground floors and separate blocks. Then at last comes the architecture that will relatively be shaped and composed upon these main drivers of this proposal, with major consideration to the “design for all” approach and a pure tendency for people for living in “between ages”.

NAVAS SCHOOL OF MUSIC

Music school in Mashhad | Iran

Sadjad University of Technolgy

Studio Design III | Individual work | Spring 2019 supervisor: Pedram Baghani concept

Designing a school of music for students aged between 18 to 25. The proposed site is located in Koohsangi and Reza adjacent, Mashhad, Iran. The area has got a reputation for being highly cultural. This significant feature would lead to a better function of the project. The study area has got two sides facing with roads that definetly benefits the project for a great accessibility. This school contains a music hall for both school and publics which is known as an urban landmark Enhancing the lateral relationship between indoor and outdoor activities by blurring the conection through the ground was the main source of inspiration. Each Art school or university requires a public studio available for all students in different parts of a day. In this case, the students can stay there to practice their lessons.

Section A-A

Section B-B

Ground floor plan

This music hall as a significant symbol of the city for the general public is like a valuable pearl that needs to be protected by a shell . So it has become such a form with a large shell above .

Concrete has relatively high compressive strength ( it doesn’t crack under weight ) , but significantly lower tensile strength ( it cracks when being pulled ) . The compressive strength is typically controlled with the ratio of water to cement when forming the concrete , and tensile strength is increased by additives , typically steel , to create reinforced concrete .

Here are some benefits of concrete structures : Compressive strength Characteristic Strength Tensile strength Durability Creep Shrinkage Unit weight Flexibility

To conclude , concrete would be the best material of this shell construction by molding to the ideal form .

International wood workshop WORKSHOP

Camposaz, Castenedolo, Brecia, Italy

Group work | Fall 2022 supervisor: Alessandro Betta

Proposal

The workshop’s objective was to design and build an element that dialogue and enhance the landscape. The aim was to understand the peculiar conditions in rural-urban contexts, considering the different circumstances involved between persisting architectural components and community needs. We were hosted by Camponug people, members of the city council in Brescia in Italy, who were opening a park in an abandoned site. During the 10 days camping in the site we listened/ recognized their needs to design and construct the elements in 1:1 scale to use. We had the great chance to develop both context and our own skills next to eachother in a super international environment with people having different skills and backgrounds. Wood was the used material for the construction. Through the workshop we had the chance of learning/ using various equipments such as soil driling machine, drails, wood cut machines, skrews, colors and etc. It was an amazing experience to learn how to work with these facilities safe, clean and fast. The main Idea to design the park was designing it as home so that people would have the feeling like being home. The entrance as an inviting element at the begining of the jurney through the park where ticket office can be, is playing the role of the entrance corridor at home where we have hangings and shelfs. A flexible stage at the end of the park is designed for different happenings like public speeches and other performances like theater and museum. This zone is playing its role as the living room, cozy part of the house, where we have the TV. Also this platform was so active and intresting for kids to play hide and seek, ride bike and jump through it in the open to public day.

Scissors like structures WORKSHOP

Ferdowsi University, Mashhad, Iran Group work| Winter 2018 supervisor: Maziar Asefi and IARTech group

Proposal

The main purpose of this course is based on the primary introduction of this kind of structure, its design procedure, function and behavior to participants. The main programs of this course consist of the teaching of the theoretical foundations of these structures and their design procedures, introduction to their modelling method with the Grasshopper software, and practical workshops regarding their building methods in different scales. A deployable structure is a structure that can change shape so as to significantly change its size. These structures have been recently highly regarded for beauty, lightweight, determine behavior, proper performance against lateral loads and the ability of been compactly packaged so that the result of the workshop was designing the entrance of university boost in the international design exhibition in 1:1 scale . A scissors consists of two rigid elements hinged together. Its advantage lies in having a single degree of freedom; this means that the system can be stabilized by placing a rigid element. Clus-tering allows multiple scissors form a complex system, without losing ownership of a single de-gree of freedom. Taking as a basis the principles for scissor systems, its exploration is done through groups that allow us to provide enclosures. These groups work with symmetric system scissors both straight and eccentric. These groupings will be termed as meshes and will be linear, triangular and square, exploring different coverage options.

TENSILE STRUCTURE WORKSHOP

Sadjad University of Technology, Mashhad, Iran Group work | Fall 2019 supervisor: Alireza Behnejad

Proposal

Conducting an experimental workshop on design and construction of fabric structures to familiarize them with the fabrication steps, how to fabricate and install membrane structures and to practice the application of these structures in urban environments. Tensile surfaces, that is, surface which carry only tension and no compression or bending, rely on double curvature for their stability. Stability is provided by the opposition of two curvatures which enable the surface to be tensioned without losing its form. Anticlastic surfaces are those in which the centres of curvature are located on opposing sides of the surface. This is commonly-described as a saddle shape. A hyperbolic paraboloid is an anticalstic surface. Six groups of students were assigned to construct a segment of tensile structure. The joy of working in a team as well as helping on another was among the great experience in this project. The two-day workshop brought us not only the pieces of the structure together, but also it brought the hearts of the students together in one constrcting body. On the last day, all group were assigned to build a 1:1 scale model together.

PARAMETRIC BRICK CONSTRUCTION WORKSHOP

Sadjad University of Technology, Mashhad, Iran Group work | Fall 2019 supervisor: Digital Craft House (Tehran University Fablab)

Proposal

the aim is to bridge digital design and low-tech construction methods. In a three-day student workshop that constitutes the initial stage of the research, students learned to generate parametric models, and to combine digital fabrication strategies with traditional construction methods. The workshop took place in Sajdad University Of Technology. The next step of this research is to incorporate performance criteria in the design of the masonry walls and explore their constructability using the methods developed in the first stage. All the models and shapes are designed in softwares. Grasshopper and Rhino are the softwares thaught in this workshop.

PURPOSE

Parametric design is a process based on algorithmic thinking that enables the expression of parameters and rules that, together, define, encode and clarify the relationship between design intent and design response. Parametric design is a paradigm in design where the relationship between elements is used to manipulate and inform the design of complex geometries and structures.

The simple definition of parametric design is shapes and forms that have a curving nature, often similar to a parabola or other flowing forms in the shape of arcs. These forms can include the arcs of entryways, or the entire shape of the structure can be in the form of flowing curves
