Aftab Cultural Complex Final Project - Individual | Spring 2018 Dr. Mahsa Fallahnia Selected project of the semester Tehran, Iran
A passion for designing cultural spaces motivated me to choose this particular topic as my final design project. Moreover, the need for such facilities in a growing city such as Tehran is strongly felt, specially by younger generation. Therefore, I tried to create a facility that everyone in the community could use and share. This complex consists of 5 different levels, each serving a different purpose, such as parking space, bookshop, coffee shop, a gathering space to host various events, administrative offices, galleries and a music institution. Entering the building, visitors are greeted by a massive open space, showcasing every level and its components. Another key factor shaping the interior, was to allow as much natural light flow in between levels, as a result a semi-transparent interior was created, eliminating any unnecessary floor area and adding it to numerous interior voids, also allowing visitor’s sight to flow between levels, always aware of their position in the building. This approach along with using as few extra materials as possible to cover up structural beams and columns, keeps the building lightweight. As earthquakes are an important threat in Tehran and precautions have to be taken while designing a building in this region. Designing this project, I also aimed at creating an environmentally sustainable building by integrating different active and passive systems to lower the energy consumption, such as a sun tracking louvre system, along with operable openings in the roof to allow natural ventilation in the building. In addition, a line of trees is planted in a pit around the building. This approach has two important benefits: the first benefit is cooling the passing air through a shaded path along the building, therefore passively cooling the interior. The second benefit is creating a natural shading system by using deciduous trees, as a result blocking sunlight in hotter seasons and keeping the interior cooled, whereas allowing it to warm up the space in the winter as the trees would shed and let the light pass. This project was chosen as the top final design project of the 2017-2018 spring semester, and will be published by mid-2019 in Tehran University of Art Architecture and Urban Planning faculty’s yearbook.

Modular Shading System Technical design | Spring 2017 With: Farzad Zerehdaran, Amir Ahitabar, Yasaman Nasr Dr. Mojtaba Mahdavinia | Dr. Kaveh Shokuhi Karaj, Iran
Tehran University of Art’s Architecture campus has a lot of empty grass fields which are normally unused due to direct sun light or being wet as a result of rains. They also lack any other feature in order to be used. As a result, our task for technical design on 2016-2017 spring semester was to design a low budget, easy-to-install structure to make these fields usable for students as an in-between space to hang out and be shielded from direct sunlight or light rain, as well as being connected to surrounding areas. As each group was consisted of four members, four different approaches, one designed by each member; had to be presented in order to be chosen to get built, from which my design was picked. The structure consists of cable re-enforced columns in order to use less material and make the structure lighter. The triangular trio columns are based on a prefabricated concrete base, which acts as a foundation and sitting place, via pin connections. The columns hold the tent structure above used for shielding. Also, the modular design allows the structure to be used on different fields with various dimensions. Moreover, via re-enforcing the columns with cable, the project uses lightweight metal pipes which cut the building costs by a big margin, as budget was an important factor. A simpler 1:1 prototype of the project was built on site in the campus in order to test the structure’s durability. All metal parts were re-designed and produced by CNC cutting for this task. The prototype was built over 2 years ago and there are no signs of weaknesses to this date.

Avicenna* Hospital Design IV | Spring 2017 With: Yasaman Nasr Dr. Seyyed Behshid Hoseini | Hamed Yekita | Armin Piriyayi Karaj, Iran
Design IV at Tehran University of Art aims at challenging the students via designing a large scale, complex building with lots of spatial relations to solve. Therefore, designing a 96 bedded hospital is the subject. There are lots of complicated relations between spaces and areas in a hospital. As there are many concerns regarding providing easy access and entrances for all users, as well as creating decent means to effortlessly travel vertically and horizontally inside the building. For example, the need for a vertical elevator connecting the emergency section to the surgery area; as well as having to place ICU and CCU departments on top of one another. Same goes for hospitalization units and the strict rules about their interior relations and dimensions, such as providing nurses with easy and direct access to all patients. Same rules and conditions apply to the rest of the building. Relations between service areas and administrative offices with outside, avoiding medical sections. Overall, the physical plan consisted of a 26-page booklet and over 150 individual spaces all of which having rules and restrictions in terms of their dimensions and accessibilities. In addition, having access to direct sunlight was a must for most areas. As a result, the building is designed in a way to absorb as much sunlight as possible. Although, in order to prevent interiors from heating up, wooden panels were installed on the facade to cast shadows inside. In this project, my role was to design hospitalization, ICU, CCU, physiotherapy, radiography, emergency and maternity ward units as well as administrative offices and the clinics. I was also in charge of designing the landscape area surrounding the hospital and its access from the street. * Avicenna was a Persian polymath who has been described as the father of early modern medicine.

Family Townhouse Design II - individual| Spring 2016 Morteza Shaabani far Tehran, Iran
Designing a Townhouse for your very own family. This was the task in design II. It is a dream for most people to design their own living space, and as an architecture student, I am definitely not an exception. Therefore, this project quickly turned into a lucid dream for me, living in its spaces and rooms for a semester. A main requirement while designing this townhouse was to pay close attention to one’s family’s habits, way of living and day to day needs. Moreover, to turn the task into more of a challenge, the site on which the project had to be designed, was a narrow 8-meter-wide ground with a length of 42 meters and a 14% slope. In order to plan the building, I had numerous sittings with my parents and asked them to describe their needs, and try to imagine their dream house’s features. This of course made the process even more complex, as fitting wishes such as a swimming pool or various gardens and terraces in an 8 meter wide townhouse was not an easy task. Yet, in order to achieve these goals, the building was first split into two parts, a narrow 2.4-meter-wide space to house the stairway and main entrance, and a 5-meter-wide space to house the internal spaces. Furthermore, the latter of the two was again split for two main reasons: One reason was to fit a large void in the middle of the house in order to bring natural light inside, the other was to separate private rooms from the main living room and kitchen. This goal was also achieved by placing these areas on different levels. Another obligation was to consider a permanent guest living with the family. This challenge was also solved by placing a suite on the last floor with an independent kitchen and terrace, providing complete privacy for both the guest and the family. This townhouse also features an ‘isolation’ room which is placed outside the main building on the Northside, accessible by an independent stairway. This room serves as a place for any family member tired from the hassles of a busy day, and in need of silence and relaxation.

Photography I have been photographing professionally for over 5 years. Through this period, I have gathered multiple collections, one of which is a collection of portraits I have taken through various trips to numbers of villages in Iran. The following photos are picked from this collection. These photos were displayed for a month at Tehran University of Art’s main gallery for a month.
