ABOUT ME Architecture was always my passion,but due to the economic issues for the bachelor i had to accept the study civil engineering which I got the scholarship. After graduation in civil engineering I started to learn architectural softwares to follow my passion, I worked three and a half years in different offices to learn more. I started to work in company which was an expert in construction in large scales. Each year I changed the office to have more experience in different scales from building scale to interior and industrial design with more specific detail. With the money I saved in those years I managed to move to Italy and start the master in architecture. During the master I read more about new technology in architecture. In last 2 years, I got fascinated by Biomimicry in architecture, I read and learn more about. Not only I wrote some articles about this topic, but also for my thesis I used an algorythm of the frequency of Radiolaria. I mostly appreciate research and challenging ambient for the work, where you always upgrade more and more in new discoveries to solve a problem or to level up your project. In contrary I will get bored with the routine work at the back of same desk with the same kind of design.

Year: 2017 Project: Thesis Theme: AMbioRC (Arctic Microbiology Research Center) Location: Alaska, United State Collaborators: Prof.Arch. Giuseppe Ridolfi (Technology), Prof.Arch. Giacomo Tempesta(structure), Prof. Giorgio Mastromei(Biologist)
The places on earth, which has been effect the most by Climate Change are the Poles. During the recent years the number of reported issues on these area has been increased. Specially in North Pole it has effect the cycle of melting the icebergs. Due to the climate change the amount of the icebergs which regenerate during the winter does not cover the amount of melting icebergs during summer. There are some bacteria and microbes which has been trapped in the icebergs for 3000 years are being released in the ocean. Hence, construction a well equipped microbiology laboratory, which will give the opportunity to the scientists to analyze the ice core before getting to the water, will be necessary.

Centrality
The aim of the project is to construct a central point for the research stations of north pole which gives the opportunity to make a good network connection between them.
Relation with Surrounding
Expansion
Making a good connection between the project and the existing element inside the island, meantime using resources and natural energy.
Two main characteristic of the research buildings are Flexibility and Expansion. providing enough space for the future expansion of the project with the same modular system can be preiewed now.
Opportunities
In order to develop the landscape era around the project in a way can help the level of the life in kaktovik city using the harsh wind -which is a threat for our design- as an opportunity to provide energy. Using the most part the the sun that exist in north pole to cultivate.

Year: 2016 Project: Environmental Laboratory Theme: Municipal Police Station & Headquarters Location: Prato, Tuscany, Italy Collaborators: Eleonora Danesi, Anna Dorigoni Advisors: Prof. Laura Andreini Prof. Lucia Nelli Ceccherini, Prof. Lorenzo Giorgi
The project must have been met for 24 hours activities for 365 days/year, for 200 people: including officers and administrative officers and commander – 80 people of simultaneous presence. The design concept was based on recalling the historical characteristic of prato, which is known as industrial city with so many chimneys, with new technologies.

Year: 2016 Project: Rethinking Non-places Seminar Theme: Parking Area of Commercial Center in Sesto Fiorentino Location: Sesto Fiorentino, Florence, Tuscany, Italy Collaborators: Anna Dorigoni Advisors: Prof. Giulio Giovannoni The aim of this seminar was rethinking of a place without a proper function or a place which already has a function but it hasn’t been used by its purpose. The chosen site was a parking lot in periphery of Florence. The parking area in commercial center of Sesto Fiorentino is a vast area which never got completely full during year. The open part of the parking which is faced to the street has the potential to host new function or even ocasional function. Our design was based on controlling the traffic and providing a safe area for children playground. Giving liberty to users with flexible furniture was one of the aims of the design.

Year: 2016 Project: Urban Laboratory Theme: Rethinking of Residential Zone of Le Piagge Location: Florence, Toscany, Italy Collaborators: Eleonora Danesi, Anna Dorigoni, Federica Bilotta Advisors: Prof. Giulio Giovannoni Prof. Antonella Valentini Prof. Giacomo Pirazzoli
In this project we focused on the issues which the area was struggling with such as; Lack of community, Lack of activities, Unused spaces. Using some of these threats as an opportunity for hosting new function which will provide for some of the residence of the area new jobs and for others a place of communication. Using vertical gardening with different methods will give a chance to each family to grow healthy food by themselves.

Year: 2015 Project: Competition (Honorable Mention) Theme: New Settlement in SHA TIN IN Kowloon Location: Hong-kong Collaborators: RRS Studio, Florence, Italy Based on opportunities and criteria of the site, proposal was able to generate a network of public spaces, interrelated by pedestrian and cycle paths, on which a large variety functions can take place, able to create a vibrant axis of activity, designed for people, not just as a mere point of passage. A series of squares and parks, full of character and vitality, able to stimulate social and economic interactions. The project is structured around a central nucleus of flexible spaces for the community that offer a series of multi-functional public services, becoming a new series of meeting places for the whole neighborhood.

Year: 2015 Project: Competition (Top 50) Theme: New Museum of Knowledge Location: Chandigarh, India Collaborators: RRS Studio, Florence, Italy The organizer (Archasm) was looking for designs that will serve the purpose of a knowledge and science museum in the context of the 21st century, while also considering the “importance of Le Corbusier’s version of modern architecture,” as well as the use of surrounding public space and its affect on the community. Furthermore, proposals should “accommodate and facilitate intellectuals” and “provide a conducive live working environment” that will serve as a “space for ‘creation’ of knowledge rather than just ‘exhibition’ of knowledge.”

Year: Aug 2013- Aug 2014 Project: Various Project Position: Interior & Industrial Designer Location: Tehran, Iran Collaborators: Boomerang Design This company was mostly focused on interior design. In my position, I had the task of managing the project from beginning to end in all its phases, such as: gathering all the data of the existing situation, planning the space according to the client needs and opportunities, providing different types of analysis and detail for each single piece, both in the design phase and in the execution phase. To do so, I had to use softwares such as; Autocad, Rhinoceros, 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, Coreldraw, Cutlist. Not only I had to prepare the file for Laser Cut, working with different materials in 100 micrometer scale, but also I had to prepare assembly description figures.

Year: 2012 Project: A’ Design Award and Competition Theme: Conceptual Interior Design (USD) Location: ..... Collaborators: ..... USD (Up Side Down) is the result of the utmost level of liveliness and playfulness from the designer’s inner child. A first glance at this design gives us only an upside down kitchen. When looking at the pictures taken from the space one may imagine that the image has been rotated as much as 180 degrees. However, noticing the trees in the yard, we come to realize that the image is direct and it is only the inner space which seems to be upside down. The majority of the measures taken for base cabinets in a conventional kitchen are taken for wall cabinets in this kitchen and vice versa. Unlike all kitchens in which in the tall cabinets for refrigerator the lower doors are short and the upper doors are long or a single door is used, in this kitchen, the lower doors are bigger and a small refrigerator is used.
