QUESTIONNAIRE (TABLE OF CONTENTS)

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects The individual works are important from two points of view. Firstly, I should be able to do different tasks of a project on my own which turns me into a flexible member of a design team . secondly, in individual

projects I’m able to continue my way of thinking in different projects and find my abilities and way of thinking better. Even I’m able to create some project to only challenge my self, which I did.

What are you looking for? A choice for the reader

What happens if a house doesn’t separate it self from the city and other humans? SleepBox House

And what happens with a big Residential complex? Yazd Residential Complex

what if we want to attract people to come inside? Library and Science Center of Rasht

Are all the routes , horizontal? Are all the dead ends, wall? “ Bame Langerud “ Restaurant

The biggest lie that can exist, future night club in iran? Future Nightclub

CHAPTER TWO : Collaborative Projects The collaborative projects are always important because architecture is always team work and in reality, nobody can finish a project only on his/her own. How to design a safe school in a underprivileged area? Jiroft School

How a big scale hotel and tourist center , can be connected to nature? Gridient - tourist complex

How can we modify different simple and small components to make a huge buiding? Code structure Skin workshop

Some of the projects and pages are omitted due to the high size of the portfolio. 5

What Are You Looking For?

A PORTFOLIO On the top side of every page, usually with a white background, I put everything that you expect from a good portfolio! Nice renders,different drawings,

comprehensive diagrams and some times pictures of physical models and description of the projects.

the contrary of the house, we need a space for essential acts -like sleeping- that we don’t like to be observed while doing them.These acts can be different from one culture to another, but it’s mandatory to have a “box” for them and in my culture, I call it “sleep box”. Having a sleep box in the house can make the border between the city and the house more interior. So there is no physical wall between the people inside and outside of the house and this But usually at purer the bottom of some pages, with makes the city, and helps it to grow without black (C=70, M=64,k=65) background, you can read about References , ideas, Connection between the projects, and general thoughts that I have in architecture. that’s a thing that usually you can’t find in a portfolio. I know, portfolio is not the right

any barrier and at the same time it separates the house into two parts: The Sleep box and the rest of the house which is more public.

MORE THAN A PORTFOLIO place for writing about my architectural thoughts and I should only represent my abilities. But thinking is my best ability and I’m doing this for my inner satisfaction. I’m doing more and i hope to make something more than a portfolio.

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

What happens if a house doesn’t separate itself from the city and other humans? SleepBox House | Self experimental Project | Location : Rasht , IRAN | 2018

to the street, all the houses are the same. They are all created by solid walls and running away from the city. But Sleep Box House, donates parts of its body to the city.

Throughout history, people have tried to make borders between each other and where there wasn’t any wall, they had made virtual borders to make nations. Even in the paradise, they’ve built big Palaces to separate themselves from absolute goodness. As I know, huge numbers of wars and hardships happened because of these boundaries. But the question is, why? Why do people put walls between each other? And what happens if a house doesn’t separate itself from the city and other humans? 8 8

I started to design this house to answer the last question, therefore there were some other obstacles for a house without walls. what about safety? or privacy? I think we, as humans make borders between things to define them in our minds. So we’ve built an uncountable amount of walls because that’s how our minds work. Infact , no matter if there is a wall or not, We build it in our mind anyway. So maybe there is no need to separate our houses from our cities. Let’s just remove the wall between the city and the

Sleep box house

house and wait till people make a virtual border. On the contrary of the house, we need a space for essential acts -like sleeping- that usually we don’t like to be observed while doing them. These acts can be different from one culture to another, but it’s mandatory to have a “box” for them and in my culture, I call it “sleep box”. Having a sleep box in the house can make the border between the city and the house more interior. So there is no physical wall between the people inside and outside of the house and this makes the city,

purer and helps it to grow without any barrier and at the same time it separates the house into two parts: The Sleep box and the rest of the house which is more public.

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

And what happens with a big Residential complex? Yazd Residential Complex | Design studio of bachelor | Location : Yazd , IRAN | 2018-2019 A seemless city , without any Dead ends. you can literally go everywhere. but you prefer not!

So we can easily omit the walls between the house and the city, but what about a big Residential Complex? For answering this question, firstly we have to consider the reaction of the human mind to the “Dead ends”. What is a dead end? it’s a path that when someone passing from it, think that path finishes with a wall or some kind of obstacle. It really does not matter if really a obstacle exists. What matters is if people inside of the path can see it. In the last project, the wall was omitted but there 12 12

was another green wall at the end of the house to show people, the house is a “Dead end” and it’s not a route or a road. But if these green walls get repeated on a big scale project, they will divide the city into some parts. In my opinion, Architecture is not about borders. it’s about where we can see the border. It’s about the intersection of the city and the building. So now I think differently. I consider roads and ways as a city. a city with height of a human and length of a road.

Yazd Residential Project

It does not matter what exists, what people see from this road is what matters. An open way or a dead end. So how we can make a private big-scale project without walls and at the same time keep the city seamless? The answer was clear. The ground itself can reform and play role of a closed way in the human mind but in reality, the whole project is open to walk up and just closed to see.

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

Although all the modules are squares, there is a fillet in modules and facades to refer to local architecture and create a new vibe and feeling. there are metal beams connected to the concrete facade, repeating every 1.1 m behind the bricks that give this ability to have an opening when it’s necessary. But mostly windows look at gardens and not the outside to guarantee privacy for other close blocks.

For better lighting, the corridor between the units is literally an open space, some diagonal elements from the roof going underground to spread natural skylight on all the floors. units have small windows to use this second-hand light from the corridor for servant areas.

Most of the units take the best south-north light in the area. They are created by aggregation of a 5.5*5.5 module and half module which makes a big balcony- garden in the roof. Depends on the number of modules, plan changes and get suited to different families with different sizes. Every units contains at least one balcony - garden.

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

What about a public building that we want to attract pe Library and science center of Rasht | Thesis of Bachelor | Location : Rasht , IRAN | 2019 yes! I always see that huge building but seriously, what is it? where is the entrance? I mean wtf?

Human kind is curious to find out what’s happening behind every wall, and any open space can easily feed his desire and stop him to going farther. That’s why I omit the walls from the houses, to make privacy without physical walls! But what about a public building that we want to attract people to come inside? The solution is simple, put a wall between the people and the building! In this case, they try to pass the wall. But it’s not enough; people should know there is a building behind the wall. Because of that, I made a porous wall and even more, an orange color line on the 20 20

wall and the ground to show the entrance. For attracting more people to come inside, we need some hooks! An orange line or the solid volume can play the role of a hook to attract people. The main question of the project is where is the entrance when we put a solid wall between the street and the building? The answer is “underground”. There is a tunnel which passes through the building; and there is a stair in the middle of the tunnel which ends up in the building, between the library and the science section. and the length of a road.

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

Main structure and walls

The main square of the city called “Shahrdari Square” currently is a pedestrian way and it is always filled with people who enjoy the vibe. Music and street foods and local shops and old fashioned facades. It is all surrounded by white historical facades that are rooted in a foreign culture. So how does it sound, walking in a square with facades completely irrelevant to the other parts of the city? Well, it seems pretty good! for any reason people love it and it’s the most famous place in the whole city. 22 22

The Plot of this project is located in such part of the city. One day I was walking in the square with a tourist friend and he told me this place has a strange vibe, Is like a cinema set buildings with fake facades for a movie, in order to give you some sorts of feeling that you can’t find in other areas of the city.I felt it’s true, interesting, and unique so I decided to make a real cinema set for my project. Although there was no rule or restriction the preference of the people, what they liked is already made me create some rules.

Library and science center

I had to make the same facade with the same material to keep the vibe of the square safe. As a result, the project is created by mass between two walls and a setback in the main street, both in front and behind the wall. This wall is a repetition of the fake facade of the square and people can see the structure behind between the facade and main building. That’s when a fake wall proud of its fakeness and with exaggeration, declares what’s happening to the city. This building is big and is a lie, but no the biggest lie. 23 23

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

Are all the routes, horizontal? Are all the dead-ends, wa Bame Langerud restaurant | Architectural Design for client| Structor compution: Morteza Majidi|Location : Langerud To be honest, I never use those stairs. but the stairs are not created to walk on. they are there to challenge you.

So I was developing a simple idea. Let’s create a wall in front of all the public functions that you can see in the city! But there is one question. What is a city? Previously I wrote about the idea of a city with a height of one person and length of the street but this time project was located in on hills, with incredible slope and close to an old village. As before, I was looking to create a dead-end but at the same, make buildings completely accessible for visitors and normal people in the street. The plot is connected to two different streets in 28 28

south and north, so I simply connected two streets with a huge amount of stairs to have a seamless city, and then I realized all the paths are not horizontal, so as result all the dead ends are not walls either. In this project, the stair path goes into the restaurant to connect two streets, so if you want to pass through this path you have an obstacle. You probably are not going to pass this path or you decide to have a tour inside the building and maybe, have a delicious dish. So a building can literally be a dead-end for another path.

all?

, IRAN | 2019

the main entrance of the building is from the upper street and people can see the roof directly without any obstacle, but at the same time, this project is about verticality. A nonfunctional roof covers the structural roof (open dining space) and vertically plays the role of a dead-end. Although it has benefits such as creating shadow and privacy, it’s an obstacle for the stair path and is not letting stairs go upper. The building is created by small stages in the stair path, they can be small closed dining halls or an open roof with seats. There are 3 different open dining

hall on the building and plenty on the path below. This path wraps around the kitchen and servant area and connects two points together. Customers can’t understand but there is another service path for employees for 3 different floors accompanying the main path. To start a new chain of thoughts, I should say due to architectural type of close village this restaurant expected to be with sloping roof, however they are lots of roofs but most roofs are flattened and there is a main sloping roof to cover all the others. 29 29

The biggest lie that can exist, future night club in iran? Self experimental Project | Location : everywhere and nowhere , IRAN | 2020

Nowadays, traditional buildings that we can visit in Iran are mostly introverted and old houses with inner courtyards. Although there are lots of reasons for the creation of this introverted architecture, probably the most important one is the culture of the Iranian people. Privacy is much valued in Iranian culture and families prefer to keep their distance from strangers and live happily separated from the city and the other people. In better words, we can say this culture leads up to a decrease of transparency in Iranian architecture and make transparency more 34 34

a materialistic adjective than an organization of space. (Literal transparency according to Colin Row) Although the inner courtyard can be considered as the symbol of traditional architecture in Iran and even it’s suitable for the context and climate, still usage of this type of architecture according to urban rules and economic conditions is infrequent and in some areas, It’s even forbidden. This difference between tradition, reality, and culture leads up to the dissatisfaction of people in society. But there is something changing. In the last few decades process

Future Night Club

of globalization passed through people’s minds and changed their culture. it’s an epic moment for the history of Iran. A large amount of youth every day and month, with an incredible speed, are changing their cultural belief in Iran. The inner central courtyard is still a beautiful and desirable nostalgia but most of the lovers of these types of houses, are looking for more open relationships and more transparent life. The meaning of home in Iran is more than a place to sleep. Since people built a wall around their

house and were looking at the inner courtyard, the meaning of home changed. Home is a multifunctional building that people do everything in it, living, party, and work. Even now that people mostly live in modern apartments, still lots of functions that usually have another place like bars and clubs in western societies are mixed with homes in Iran. But the question is, when people in process of globalization thinking about their new needs and desires, how much it takes till these such functions find an autonomous character and turn into a new building in the context of Iran. 35 35

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

what makes the situation of the country unique, is not people with new needs, but it’s the Proximity of two different types of people with completely contradictory thoughts and believes. Here there is a question that how the new architecture of Iran can respond to different people and value each character in a particular way. This is a practical but unreal project to answer this question. The future night club is a symbol of the future architecture of Iran. Back in Iran, all the houses had a private inner garden, nobody could see inside of a home and people were free to live as they want. As the benefits of this type of architecture overweight, introverted architecture took the whole country in centuries. In this architecture, each house is taking distance from the city and make an independent living on their own. The city does the same as well, making the distance from building and people. Streets are only a communication space between these small worlds. Although they are some examples of public spaces in cities, it happens rarely. So, in a situation as such, seeing inside of a house is really surprising. Even now that people live in modern apartments, they all cover windows with thick curtains to maintain a good amount of privacy. In the past, people were avoiding looking outside and all the windows were opening to an inner courtyard. The same is happening in the future night club. This building Is an independent element for the city and although there are lots of advocates between the people, is still in a religious society and lots of people (mostly elderly) are not friendly with this new function. Architecture in Iran is sentenced to be introverted and this concept will remain for decades. In traditional architecture, people were sheltering in their houses, to avoid being judged and stay more comfortable. Accordingly, The future night club is simply doing the same. There is no specific location for the future night club. It can be everywhere and nowhere. In fact, each building that you see in the city can be a night club. The future nightclub has a simple ordinary facade with the same structure as the other residential buildings. This facade is only an artificial cover to separate night club from the city. A normal facade with the entrance door and some unproductive balconies. There are 3 m gaps between the facade and main structure while they are attached with hug horizontal beams repeating in a regular grid. Nowadays all the facades are artificial, detached from the reality of the buildings only for the sake of grandeur. The future night club will do the same. A big lie in Facade but this time, not for attaining attention, but to be hidden among a liar society. Artificial, minimal, and ironic. Between the Artificial facade and the night club, there is a path that filters incoming people. Something similar happens in the history of Iranian architecture and particularly mosques such as Sheikh-Lotfollah. The future night club has its own rules and sounds that are different from the world outside. As a result, users should enter another circulation and decide if they are ready to face these new Values. This distance between the building and the street is not only on the main facade. The night club has these setbacks in all the direction, even the roof to recede neighbors and even sky. The future nightclub is a small volume in a big mass. a big mass that knows itself as part of the city and a small volume that is ready to hug people.

Future Night Club

CHAPTER ONE : Individual Projects

Space of dome-dance hall from on side is facing the big wall between the facade and main structure and from the other three sides is ending up with small rooms on all the floors. Their rooms are all facing the dome and strong source of light (lighting of dance hall) like old traditional room-houses of Iran and are. They are empty and can be used for anything. They are created by a transparent but blur material to hide the face of people inside but bring enough light in. The entrance of these rooms is from a suspended corridor that is connected with suspended stairs and eventually ends up on the first roof of the project. The low width of corridors keep people closer to each other and reach them together in rooms or first roof. The first roof is a more spiritual space in the building. In the old traditional building of Iran people used to spend lots of time on the roof and sleeping and cold weather. The same is happening in the night club. A little bit upper than the first floor, there is a second roof. The second roof is only a fake normal ordinary roof of residential apartments that hide the reality of the future nightclub. Stairs continue and go out of the second roof in a small cubic volume. Everything is normal from the outside and everything is fake from the inside. The point is every fake element proud of itself in a particular way. In this era, most people seeking value and a better social position with fake facades and fancy buildings, the future night club is the absolute fakeness and lie and even more. However, it never denies this point that is a liar, on the contrary, a structural grid that connects all the elements together is very bold and showing this detachment. Fake facade, fake roof, fake form with exposed structure, and all the users are aware of this fact. All the people know here is a place for lying, and still, they want to experince it. The future nightclub is the last and ultimate big lie, but as a result the next generation of architecture is more honest. While entering a future nightclub, perfectly in front of the axis from the main street, there is a big old door with a human gesture sat under it. Sitting gestured called “beggar with an evil smile” and is part of the architecture of the building. The big door is also a sculptural element and doesn’t have the ability to get open. Users of the night club should change their axis three times to get into the main dance hall. Changing the axis is separating the world inside from the outside world but in fact, this is not a new attitude in traditional Iranian architecture. But here at night club changing the axis is fake because users finally get to the same axis that they came in. If users face the” beggar with an evil smile” and they decide to continue their path, there is a metal box as a coat check on the left side. In front of them behind the beggar, there is an old wooden door that can’t be open and on the right, there is a corridor that goes to the entrance of night club. On the roof, there is a diagonal circular window that at the night, takes the light from a big lamp on the roof ( all the windows in night club are fake and take the light from lamps behind them). This light guides people to the entrance of the nightclub. After couple of rotation and going downstairs, users can see the same door in front of their self, but with a big difference that they are in lower height and door opens on nothing. This door is a sculptural elements and a part of architecture of the building.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE TO READ ALL THE PREVIOUS PROJECTS In Iran because of the economical situation, all the Investors are looking for an extrude of the plot to the maximum footprint and earn more benefits but architects always trying to carve something from this massive extruded -Cubical volume to create new models for architecture and not only generic buildings. In the previous projects, we saw that the library and science center was taking distance in the horizontal axis and was devoting some parts of the plot into the city. there was a gap between the facade and the building that was creating an inside-out space, not interior and not exterior. this space was the most crucial architectural part of the project that was distinguishing the building from a cubical and generic volume. But being generic is not the same as being cubical. in Bame Langerod restaurant this extrusion has a different shape with the sloping roof out of climate and tradition. So the question was how to carve out from this massing volume and create a new typology of building. this time in opposite the science center, I developed the building in the vertical axes and devote top of the volume to people. In fact, all the projects are a decomposition of a primary architecture type. some parts of the roof are still remaining to remember the customers, initial typology of the building. In the future night club, I took the case of a very primitive and generic apartment with a sixty percent footprint for the building and forty percent for the garden. I didn’t change anything in purpose and the building looks like a generic apartment from outside but I tried to develop and combine this idea of decomposition in both axis, vertical and horizontal, and completely in the interior of the building. This is a practice to develop the initial typology of the building to new models by decomposing.

How to design a safe school in a underprivileged area? JIROFT SCHOOL | Winner of WA Award 32nd | Shotlisted For 2A Asia Architecture Award 2018 Design team: Pouria Shaghaghi , Benyamin Nemati ,Shayan Adham Location: Jiroft, IRAN| Architectural Competitions

Jiroft is a deprived village tucked away behind the hills of Kerman. Underprivileged rural dwellers suffer from primitive facilities and infrastructure. In so being, the crime and health incidence has surged in the past years. In order to alleviate the problems of the village, an overhaul in the educational system is a must. Therefore, Jiroft`s authority decided to renovate the sole primary school and change it to a cutting-edge school in favor of children’s future. Repetitive articles published by media about child crimes of raping and murdering students at Jiroft’s primary school had led to the closure of the building. What’s obvious is that the school is devoid of safety and decent security. On the other hand, due largely to the generation gap in the village, the overwhelming majority of people are not interested in traditional public spaces such as mosques anymore. Hence in this design, the underlying approach is to interweave the public space with the function of school in order to create transparency and security.

To tackle security and safety plight, transparency has been considered as the leading procedure. Nonetheless, outsiders and insiders have visual communication which could diminish the prospect of committing crime and delinquency. By the fact that the school is located in a hot severe climate, in order to avoid scorching desert heat, the ground is dug to build the school in lower levels than those of domestic buildings. Overall, there are 2 open space platforms. Outside is the roof of the building which would be a suitable place to act as a plaza in order to pull people together. Another platform which is inside is the educational platform consists of solid colonies that are devoted to different functions.

Different functions are connected to the railway and entrance of the complex. the path is organic and goes beyond nature, and at it goes through, it gets smaller like the stems of trees. The Complex is organized by different functions and zones but the main one is a Hotel beside the rail station. people can pass through the hotel and reach the other public activities and the beach.

Villas are second important part of Complex, they are divided into four type According to the placement and different needs of each position.

All the villas are placed in 6*6 zone, as a result, the structure system is created mainly on this grid, but depends on the landscape, different types of villas and place of the villas, the path enters toward building differently. this organic path is like a shock for the grid. there is another kind of structure created by concrete which works as an element that joint organic path to the grid. this transmutation is easily understandable from the geometry of the building.

Gridient VILLA TYPE A Best view to the sea. Closest villa to the beach. Seperated living room. Big terrace overlooking to the north.

VILLA TYPE B Airflow across the building. Villa type b is surrounded by other villas so as a result, it has an inner private courtyard.

VILLA TYPE C Two floors give a better view of the landscape. Villa type C is beside Railway, as a result, a solid surface block noise to the building and also all the complex.

The form-finding mechanism is based on a rigorous and morphological process to describe a scientific approach. We aimed to approach design through the use of geometric modules as a means of subdividing space, and think of architectural design as a balance between the overall form of a building and the units or parts out of which it is assembled. Each applicant or group of applicants selected from a given range of pre-rationalized components that they will dichotomize by the inherent spatial characteristics of the component. Through sets of experiments by manipulating and variating each of the defining geometrical parameters, students become familiar with the component and document a matrix-based catalogue of discovered configurations. The act of creation as the exploration of new forms refers to Humanizing architecture by reintroducing the human body as a measure for dimension and proportion. Also, to define a set of individual units that could be expressed within a larger interconnected parts and the geometric relationship between dimensions.
