Fashion House
Fashion House Studio Project, Instructors: Reza Miri, Azad University Fall 2014
An eco-village is a place for people who desire to live in a city’s cultural atmosphere with less exposure to traffic or air pollution. The project was located in the countryside, based on sustainable architecture, socially, and power saving. My project to improve the community was a production site to produce some fabric and cloths. The fashion house has a natural-based approach, a place for visitors to the village as a financial resource. A place to create, socialize and educate children in different ranges from fabricating to tailor clothes. The base concept was the design of a cubic form with local materials. Using light, thin fabric for facades protects from rain and wind and provides sunlight in the complex. Moreover, locating the classrooms under the ground creates the opportunity of using soil’s thermal performance.

Sand Wave Community Center
Sand Wave Community Center Studio Project, Instructors: Reza Habibi, Azad University Spring 2013
The community center is based on the Kashan desert to accommodate people for gathering and social events. The site-specific center was inspired by how wind shapes the desert’s sand. The project combined protrusive organic formations, linear embellishments, and futuristic sensibilities. The grand scale of achievement is how this place could be a place for minorities to gather, hence a better chance of equal opportunity and social injustice. The architecture is conceived as landscape--the landscape becomes architecture, and the building takes on the surrounding countryside wave. The desire to be one with nature and connection with the landscape also felt from within the building. The main salon has a generous glass façade, both in size and sophisticated details—the outside’s visual contraction.

Qazvin Headquarter Building
Qazvin Headquarter Building Competition Project, Group work: Roshanak Ghezelbash, Naser Ghanbari, Paniz Ghaednia. Tehran, Iran, Spring 2017.
The Glass House is for the whole town a symbol for the rejuvenation and the new-found self-esteem of glassmaking in the country. The most excellent factory of making glass in Iran held a competition for headquarter in the capital. A sustainable approach to have natural air ventilation and providing daylight for office hours. For avoiding sunlight of sunset for the main facade in the west, make alter-native shades to change during the day to evening. The Dimond shape inspires by Iranian architecture. The luxurious touch of the lobby made it more of a metaphor for darkness and light.

Venus In Downtown
Venus In Downtown Studio Project, Instructors: Rachael McCall Studio, SCI-Arc Summer 2020
Through immigration, self-exile, or involuntary displacement, I represented a state of alienation--a diaspora condition. Found themselves as Alice that ended up in the wonderland out of their curiosity and only then realized their status as an outsider. Detached from the initial land and were not attached to the new one, observed, and absorbed other cultures. Meanwhile, seeking their roots to shape a new version of Self. When we left their comfort zone, we made projects with assets from what brings us photos and letters.

Continuous Domes
Continuous Domes Workshop: Tradition + Identity, Instructors: Kasper Ax, AA Tehran Visiting School, Summer 2014.
The workshop is based on researching continuous materials and inventing design opportunities on the boundary between liquid and solid. In Iran architecture, the vast majority of methods depended on chemical processes. The best example of that could be the compression or solidification of molded mud turning to bricks and adobes. With recent technological additions in the building industry, such as programmable 3D printing and robotic arms, our conception of continuous materials must be tested, challenged, and pushed to the extreme. The intention was to obtain material properties that match the regional heritage’s sophistication and respond to actual and future requirements—contracting on dominant geometric elements, domes, not reproducing or imitating it, instead of examining it and understanding the centuries of knowledge embedded within it. The group analyzed fragments to discover any logic that reveals itself in traditional patterns, textures, structures, and architectural elements to enable new spatiality ideas. Architectural layouts represent pure forms, symmetry, and stability suggested organizational principles and inhabitation subordinate to them on the urban and the building scale.

Self-Portrait Self In Other Perception at Sayeh Gallery Summer, 2018
Modern humans make selfies from their leisure moments, and happiness never mentioned what we suffer. the “Self in other perception,” collectin shows how people see themselves in reality. Moments we omit in social media. Make a relief and a calm moment even we have lots of issues with the world’s current situation. Make a perfect selfie apart from what we live—Reffernig to van Gogh self-portrait and how honest it was. We witness the moment of self-reveling. My self-portrait made an unmistakable thought of speaking about the reality of my situation. Insecurity and unclear moments in life that we try to hide them.
Protect Me From Me Unfinished structure, Solo exhibition at Sayeh Gallery Summer, 2018
After her abortion, a friend of mine lost family support. She tried to survive after trauma, choosing not to have a child in Iran, both illegal and unconventional. She decides not to have a baby, but somehow she lost her fertility and family at the same time because of the improper way of abortion. Many female figures, every year, even death because of out-clinical surgeries. They try to stand on their own feet with hard work while they lost physical and emotional ties. She paints and makes sculptures. Her hands protect her from what she wants. A self-destructive decision that leads to pain and suffers. Hands remained invisible, the specific detail of the body deprived of attention, restless precious creatures.
