Esplanade House billboard and the urbanism of objects 2020 teammates: Hanie Amjadian
A
The home competition
s a boundary engendered through the work/life, we propose a house in which a human’s contemporary life and the one’s profession are integrated together. Meanwhile, slithering through the public, private, and semi-private spaces have effectively created spatial qualities of it. This project centers around a “billboard” and “the urbanism of objects: the essential organized indoor ones”. In other words, the billboards with much more privacy are in contrast with the urbanism of objects which have the least aggregation of it. On the other hand, if the correlation between the human’s life and work is one the elements that is mentioned through this project, each of the billboards would contain a façade of screens which are introduced by people’s life and the advertisement of their work and activities of whom get involved in. Through all these moments, this project redefines the new human’s principles where the house displaces the boundaries of privacy.

Rast Home Store The Objects of the Spectacleage 2019 Designer: Ramtin Taherian Design Assistants: Negar Bisadi, Saleh Hariri
T
he interior space of Rast Home Store is hosting a set of objects contrary to the inexact geometry of the interior space which is influenced by the strong geometric forces of Ava Center. This family of objects is autonomously designed and placed inside. From an L-shaped shelving unit in the corner to a flat rectangular pegboard on the wall to a large sphere hanging in the air: the scene is arranged by an array of functional and non-functional objects. Despite the formal autonomy of the objects what binds them all together is their common syntactical quality. Plywood sheets (as surfaces), steel rods (as lines), and nuts and bolts (as points) are the materials of this syntax.

The Revolver Tree house module 2020 teammates: Ramtin Taherian, Parto Shamsaie Finalist in Young Architects competition

eing elevated from the ground and among the branches is the key to the unique atmosphere of tree-houses. Instead of sticking to the structure of a tree, we suggest to revolve around it and consider it as the pivotal axis of our design. Different spaces are organized in multiple slices and levels and the arc shape of the modules creates the ability to maneuver in the woods with different combinations and generate small elevated neighborhoods through the natural context. The façade system consists of two separate layers of shader panels and glass window panels which can slide on the conic surfaces of the modules, therefore, provide the ability to adjust the light, privacy, and openness at every space independently.

Hyper Unreality a relationship between the reality and image 2021 teammates: Hanie Amjadian This project is based on motions, check the website to watch the
I
n recent decades, from the “Greg Lynn Animate Form” term, and the similar currents from which arising, to the post-digital era, it has been debated whether there is a connection between both physical and digital media as if their dynamic tension regarding the similarities and differences between one another, helps to authentically make a creative agent. Indeed, the robot as a tool, proving a platform for thinking and production in regard with the physical limitations in terms of the material world also motion and gravity parameters, differently makes an innovative medium in order to design in the boundary of reality and fantasy.Hyper Unreality, is a query to critique the theory ahead, and strives for making a relationship between the reality and image.

his project is questioning the relationship between image and architecture. It's based on existence of images and space. What's is image in the first place? Roland Barthes said that we can't understand the existence of image at all because each image is not split ing into its refrent. This project tries to give a new meaning of philosophy of images. At the first step this project define 3 types of resolution that each of them can be understood from variable distances from the project. First one : low poly of volumes. Second one : the pattern wich is projected by images. Third one : the pattern that is created by images overlaying. Each of these resolutions are designed from different perspectives. We have two approaches to them. First : objective design which contains the Low poly level. And second on : subjective design wich contains High poly (pattern with images) and patterns overlaying. This strategy helps us to reach an unique quality of space wich can be understood differently from different points depends on where you are standing.

• 3 techniques number 1 number 2
number 3 At the next step to relate image to space we developed 3 techniques. First one : body without organs : this technique wich we developed is based on boolean difference method. We thought this method is representing origin of image somehow. Subtracting forms a face without any mass and it's an idea that relate image to space somehow. Second technique : image contour : this technique is something like Jiri Kolar works wich create space too. From far distance of project when you see this part you see 2 different images but can't recognize them completely. We reached a hybrid quality of paintings that procrastinate the understanding art and space by separating apart paintings to little pieces. Third one : this technique is just for landscape and not creating space.

• Part to whole / Whole object
• VS.
This project changes the relationship between part and whole fundamentally. If before that, we've known a paintings as a whole image, because of this techniques which we've developed, our understanding of painting changed and now we can see little part of an image as whole part of artwork. This is questioning the existence of art in a higher level. In addition to this matter, this project change the meaning of reality and imagination too. You can't understand the whole paintings or whole space. Procrastination of user's understanding of space and art causes of reality misreading. When users see a part of a painting and wnat see the whol, should move and discover the rest, but in his journey, he lost the first painting by a discovery of a new image.

his project is an experimental research on ability of bending in woods. So we tried to discover this ability to use it in design. At the first step we have studied on capacity of Mdf flexibility. It means we tried to figure out that what parameters of wood are important in flexibility of MDF. At the second part we tried to use that informations in design. And we've studied on this question : what can we do with this ability of MDF? And the final product is the answer of this question.

D
ay by day people of Iran feel pressure of economical sanctions on their lives, economy turns to be weaker and citizens lose their purchasing power more than ever after US declared withdrawal from nuclear deal and has imposed sanctions against Iran. Part of the sanctions banns most of countries to trade with Iran and also prohibits SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) network by not giving credit for financial institutions in Iran so that companies in neither side of world nor in Iran would not be able to trade with each other so Iranians can hardly have access to world markets.In other hand European Union tries to invent new channel for supporting trade with Iran called INSTEX (instrument in support of trade exchanges) unfortunately none of European countries seemed to be able to locate this instrument in their place in order to avoid confronting with US.

Map showing distribution of NeoINSTEX over the world / NeoINSTEX
The project seeks solution to provide free trade exchange all over the world like platform for countries where they can exchange goods based on the values in global market.

Following matters that were described NINSTEX is located in international waters; where there is no sovereignty, therefore is nobody’s land as no state controls it. All states have the freedom of: fishing, navigation, overflight, laying cables and pipelines, as well as research, gives us advantage to locate our project in this waters. NINSTEX acts as similarly as sea port. By changing hierarchy of layers in typical port; containers which are stored, cranes that transfer goods and ships. It’s created from two main sections; Core, which defines the location and holds main structure of NINSTEX and its relation with sea, also organizes the layout of clusters. Offices and different programs for human purposes are accommodated inside core. Clusters, that containers are stored within them also perform in two condition; interlock condition that bunch of cluster are compressed, act as storage. They can be carried by ships in interlocking condition and after bunch joins structure, clusters form distance from each other until they reach to their branches, like a chain. By creating distance their introduce passage ways for ships that they can move beneath structure and load goods by cranes. This condition similarly performs as port. The structure size horizontally grows depended on increase in volume of transactions, more clusters join to structure to increase capacity as more trading happens in district which one of ports is located.
21
• Main parts Project is created from two main parts: core which is stable and clusters which connect to the core and can also be moved.
clusters
c o r e
• Scalability
More levels of storage can be added to cluster to increase
More bunch of clusters join to structure in X, Y to increase capacity
22
• Mechanism of movment Mechanism showing that how cluster interlock and compress into each other. Depending on position of the moving cluster (red one) it can move on row or more.
If red cluster at the right side move it will move its own row
If red cluster moves it will influence two rows (right row and second row)
If third red cluster from left side moves it will drag all three rows

his project is based on Jorge Oteiza's artworks. We observed his artworks, and the project is generated from his work's gene. We tried to create an engaging platform to present the student's projects. As some students have some physical model to explain their project, the platform should have had the possibility to show their models. The spaceial experience of our pavilion made the observation rather more interesting for visitors. The pavilion designed for CAAI school of architecture, Iran.

Incomplete A Master plan for district 22 of Tehran 2017 teammates: Maryam Shaker, Mehrnaz Zarrin
D
istrict 22 is located between Tehran and Karaj city with nature of being objective, in large scale it can be considered as an object that has been patched to Tehran and in smaller scale it contains different objects that emphasize on their significant presence. Influence of this district on big city like Tehran in larger scale insists on this nature, but in smaller scale it contains isolated packages that are separated in wide level. Existence of the height contrast also helps to its objective nature. In this district we face with two city flows; one that happen on ground like Tehran another that in different height levels. Tehran city flow is defined with conjunctions and relation of the components and their infiltration on each other but plugged district is defined by pointed flows and isolation of significant packages and its inner relation, where ground is generated in height and horizontal levels are meant to be important. In this district, spots with different programs like isolated packages, are formed with their own specific colonies. Little or big spots with different programs, although for some reasons from aspect of relation and functions they are weak but they have potential to improve. Reasons like being near of highways, being colony and that in this actual condition may be considers as threat but they have chance to become opportunity. Existence of highways near spots with different programs, because of its high acceleration has influence on active neighbors. Decreasing the distances and its repulsion are their potentials. One active body like Azadi stadium, Chitgar park near Tehran karaj highway and from other active side of the Hemmat high way has similar condition. Highways as an object in Tehran breakdown the field of city at their crossings and in district 22 they go from neat of big amount of objects. Before entering to district 22 we face with city as a field but after entering we are facing with city as an objects.
32
Actually alleys and neighborhoods has no place in this district but its highways and blocks that show themselves. There are no hierarchies, everything is swallowed into the town cities. District 22 is big structure that contains small and large structures that has created specific patterns and networks. Some separated and some continuous. Pointed programs with different strength has defined neutral spots among themselves that create nonfunctional spaces. Because of this matter we can see district as islands that behave different from each other. Emptiness and fullness, working with inside and outside, centered and scattered are mentionable measurements of district. District 22 can be seen as an isolated package that although insists on its isolated and objective nature but from inside has intentions for continuous flows and creating it among its isolated colonies.

• What is the solution?
first step for designing our space between the two programs : temporary programs fill fixed programs
temporary programs fill fixed programs - closer view to the planing of temporary programs
37
• Time in drawings? These diagrams designed for analyzing the activate times of programs . Thereby, after x and y shows building plan . And Z is known as active time of building. thus, this diagram can assist us in designing our space between the two programs, in which it converts the «between space» into a program with 24 hours availability
38
39
• The idea for a region District 22 is full of fluctuating points, which are switched on and off atnight by their internal flows. In a district which plays an important transr gional role, time gains importance due to the changes taking place in these points. The second system is designed as a plug-in to shape timed programs, balance fluctuations and direct flows.
• From master plan to architecture The Architecture aspect of this project is based on the Masterplan.So we have temporary structures that host temporary programs

ubic objects can be recognised from 3 sides otherwise you can realize them from three sides to know the volume. Although sides must be perpendicular. Actually this volumes can be recognised with sides of their bounding box. This project works with this sides. At the first we consider a 3d area of the project at its most dense condition; cube and draw it’s unroll form. Therefore six side of cube, two by two, show same sections of one volume we omit one of them and at the end we reach to three rectangles or squares that have been put together as their unroll condition. These three surfaces are our main base of design that not only create our form but arrange our physical programme. The project is educational and it has been divided from functions of private and public to three groups and each of these groups has been put at one of three unrolled surfaces. In closer view each of these sections have their own priority. It means that when they have been extruded they may have collision with other one of two sections and these priorities choose that which of this extruded volumes should be remain and which must be omitted. At the end system as a circulation and public spaces are added that has highest priority and remove every collision and be removed at the end.
Cubic objects can be recognised by just 3 sections

n this project using from some rounds of loop, string is created with several charactersthat each of them has responsibility in creating form.Output of this production of form are spheres that are first steps for creating volumes.Putting in way that each sphere will be in itselfs bounding box and each bounding box willbe grid of points.This points will be valued based on their distance from corresponding curve.And similar points will make surface.

n this project, we tried to use the capacity of the content in order to create an efficient architecture. This resort has two parts, public space and rooms. The rooms are scattered in the landscape. Its forms are inspired by environmental guidelines. As a consequence, we have different alternatives for our rooms. The public is a central space that is used as space for restaurants and coffees.

mam Reza’s shrine in Mashhad, Iran, is considered one of the most visted holy sites in the whole muslim world. With this large number of pilgrims, comes a large wave of offerings and tributes to the holy shrine, which would be placed within the existing museum in the complex. The exisitng “museum” acts more as a storage rather than a museum, with a low visiting rate from the pilgrims. Thus a competition to erect a new museum, alongside the outer border of the complex in a much bigger land was commenced, with the goals of bringing in more population flow into the complex and the museum. The propsed museum follows the “structure” as the rest of the complex: courtyards (“Sahns”) make up the majority of the shrine, in which different programs take place (religious activites, education and etc. ). Thus a roofed courtyard was designed at the ground level to both act as an event space and to connect the museum directly to the shrine. Thus museum spaces are situated in the underground levels and one level above ground. Five enormous pillars were erected to act as space organizers and support the above ground level, in which gallery spaces are situated in and between this pillars, resulting in two circulation paths being formed around the pillars.
