Research Interest Environmental Psycology Urban Development My research interest is on the topic of parametric recreation of traditional Iranian architecture based on diagrams of traditional archetypes.

To be more specific, I intend to find the patterns of solutions which traditional masterminds of Iranian architecture used to apply in their projects. Then, translate these patterns into an algorithm with certain environmental parameters to find way to regenerate responsive design solutions.

The considered place for this project is a 7000 Sq.m. site located between Laleh Park and the main street of Kargar.

The main entrance of the facility is in west side opening to pedestrian path while a subsidary opening is added in north west of the building to the walking passage of the Park.

Studios - Final Design

The two opening transfors the complex into an intermediate between park and the city. Therefore, the northern area of the complex would often work as a path while southern zones are recognized as places to stop by and take a pause.

Design wihth Patterns according to Alexander’s theories, there are certain patterns that if obeyed, it is likely to observe the quality of life in a space.

Based on this theory, I tried to reveal all the issues of current situatio that are preventing the phenomenon of life.

This arrangement is more consistent with new educational methods engaging teachers with all pupils.

Miscellaneous- Human Nature Architecture Project

This course aimed to familiarize students with natural paradigms and their application in architecture.

Eventually at the end of the semester a small pavillion was built.

My design which was selected as 3 finalists to be constructed was a dome made by transparent polycarbonate sheets.

The Idea was inspired from the arrangement of pieces in a bird nest.

This structure had to bear some cartoons filled with sandbags. our idea was to design a system with no main weight bearing elements such as columns.

WORK PLACE

Our prediction of future workplace is that every firm will hold a comprehensive communicative and cooperative protocol for matching its own sector with the universal system. Technological will play the main role of human civilization and all professions will acquire these standards in order to function in future society.

Our idea for the work places in the future is base on a scenario that companies and individuals give sevices to each other by plugging in to inclusive systems for cooperation with each other.

Competitions - Archtriumph Competition 2012 (2nd Place Winner)

The goal of this competition was to design an ecological carpark in the city of Shanghai-China.Our approach to this issue was te redefine the concept of carpark from an urban facility to a landscape with cars (a park with cars).

The site we located for this project was within the circles of Nanpu road - an iconic landmark of the city with no useful function that is located right between a residential and industrial zones of the city. Hence, this car park can function as both a parking for industrial workers and a park for people who live nearby.

hierechical accesses

circulation of people and vehicles

The weight of the structure is distributed to 8 enormous pillars

Rain water is steered along the roof off to the basins between the modules.

Essentially the water runoff is diverted and captured for gray water uses such as landscape irrigation.

One segment of circulation leads the cars up to highest level

Crude form resulted from hexagonal units

In the attempts to involve more functions besides an ordinary garage, the idea suggests that carpark should integrate all the surroundings with green spaces. To address this goal, a pleasant twisting path with an alternative movement between outdoor and indoor is designed for pedestrians and cyclists.

A set of massed are removed to increase daylight and view

The chemney effect caused by voids and air passages in the building helps to keep up the air circulation and replacement of fresh air in cells beneath.

CARPARK = Cars+ Parks

adjacency of green spaces and parking areas 28

Plants help to cool the building and keeping the air ventilized passively.

They also purify the toxic exhausts in the units.

A circular elevated road within a crowded region of Shanghai called as Waima road, is selected as site. This site facilitates the access of cars to higher levels with no need to consider any ramp in the project. There fore, a huge amount of space would be available.

CHABAHAR ENTRANCE SQUARE Kelyas Kavir Architects

Designer

In 2016 a serie of exclusive competitions were held to design 4 squares of port Chabahar in order to redefine the iconic face of the city. Kelyas Kavir was invited to this competition and I became responsible to design entrance square of the city.

The key approach of this project was to reshape the cross square from an intersection of urban roads to a public space. Hence, the entrance of the cities which usually are noticed in a glance in Iranian cities would transform into a social complex.

SADRA OFFICE BUILDING

The proposed design was a 6 level building that allocated 3 levels to each comany for their offices, showrooms and managemnts.

The main concern for this project was to create a facade that passes daylight according to needs of each floor.

Several proposals were based on fixed modules but the final result is consisted of movable modules.

Moblie modules make it possible to costumize the illumination by daylight. It is possible to have a gradient between 4% to 36% of direct daylight by moving the modules. Therfore, different types of daylight can be used in order to needs of users and it can be modified manually.
