The site is located between the plaza, green fingers and the dense residential area. The proposed program for the existing building in the site is a market. There is not enough big markets around the site and all the amenities are concentrated in the center of the city, Sao Paulo.Therefore, adding a market which is a great combination of food, leisure with daily life to the community will be a great option for an adaptive reuse project.

The idea is to create something which connects the dense residential area to the green fingers and preserved area. The urban cuts that go through the exisisting massive building are basically the open air parts of the market, where people can hangout, sit and eat. Linking these two areas by an appropriate type of program was the main intention.

Based on the wind rose diagram I realized the prevailing breezes are coming from west and southwest. In order to take advantage of the natural breeze in this area I tried to locate the masses in a way that they create a path for the wind to pass through our buildings. Also by considering specific configurations for fenestrations we can provide cross flow ventilation . Considerations: Carving out the mass in order to let the wind to go through spaces (South West Direction) Letting the water move through two general masses and attaching them together by this element (Water)
Rotate Towards Wind Direction

CONCEPT In terms of spatial configurations, the main idea is to create a building in which the compactness of the building is balanced with the lightness and transparency of the space. The intention is blurring the relationship between inside and outside, bringing nature, water and landscape into the building. Programs are located in both indoor/outdoor to create an intimate relationship between inside and outside. Based on their function, different spaces have different relationship with air, water and land which results in creating various spatial experiences throughout the space, a building which can be considered as an integrated part of the site, landscape and water. Using the natural sources such as wind, sun, water and vegetation in architecture to get the most out of the existing condition of the site is another way to achieve my goals, mainly in terms of sustainability. Creating Micro Climate zones by taking any possible opportunity that the silverlake has to offer and contribute to them in order to enhance those opportunities for even future expansion.

POROSITY The property of being porous means being able to absorb fluids and in a structural sense it allows light to go through the building. Therefore the light becomes filtered through the building in section. A porous building also attracts visitors like a sponge and creates visual and physical connections.

COLOR Based on my personal observation of the site I think everyone can obviously feel the lack of vegetation which in my mind can affect this neighborhood significantly in a negative way. Even when it comes to color you don’t see anything rather than some old, low quality buildings which leaves a gray image in a visitor’s mind. The other thing that drew my attention was that there are many colorful paintings on the walls of some buildings in this area which I think coulld be a reaction towards this dull appearance of the neighborhood, created by local people. Therefore creating open and green spaces, adding color to the neighborhood are some factors that can be taken into consideration within the design process.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAM PROPOSAL
?
A good library should have so much more to offer than books. Find a way to get the community to the library and making it an interesting hub of a community not only for educated people but for everyone with different needs. There are so many people with great talent or information who can share things in different discussion sessions with others, which help people make connections in their community. Having a multifuntional space (indoor and outdoor) for different kinds of community activities for all user groups with different ages could be a good motivation to bring people in the library.
VIEW SHEDS -Enhancing views to the site by orinting masses and openings visible to certain spots around the site -creating visual/physical connection between spaces both in plan and section in order to mix different user groups with different ages and interests -Capturing the most visually interesting parts of the surrouding (such as downtown towers) and prospective public spaces in the site (such as cafe’)
Activities such as : -craft projects for children -Open discussion sessions -book discussion -Gardening -Art -Cultural presentation -Special events/ Charity events
-Visual/physical connection between Day care, Children Library and Adult Library -Direct connection between classrooms and outdoor reading area -Cafe’ : easy access from Exhibition -Adult library : Indoor and Outdoor reading areas -Additional program : both indoor and outdoor

The constant relationship between the building and its site requires a lot of attention and study before starting the design process. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California Science Center and Rose garden undoubtedly attract many different user groups to our site.

Creating different places that people can have valuable experiences in, specially allowing the visitors to be in hangout and open spaces such as the middle part which connects the Endeavour Gallery to the other phases (Air and Space Galleries)was one of the goals. More importantly generating a view from the bottom of the shuttle can add to the values of this place and enhances the shuttle’s power and magnificence.
the buildings came from the lines generated by the user’s views from different entrances of the exposition park to our site.

STRUCTURAL STRATEGY I decided to place the planetarium on the basement level and lift the Endeavour gallery off the ground in order to have an open space in the ground floor, therefore truss system as an structural strategy seemed to be the best option for my building.

I was mainly trying to keep the architect’s primary concepts about the space. Using cool - high temprature colors which refers to the ideas about movemenet, flow and vitality of the ocean and creating a bright and fresh feeling space for users.I’m thinking of having a crystal form chandelier as my decorative pendant fixture because I think: it would be a good combination of having a cove and a pendant in center which draw attention. I think a chandelier like this is appropriate for my lighting design in rotunda and it also shows the flow and movement.

Feature wall with graphic perforated metal : Instead of architect’s proposal which is having a cove lighting on top of perforated wall, I thought this is an opportunity that I can focus on the idea of Movement and Flow. Having a backlighting behind the perforated metal can create a gradient which represent a dynamic space.

When the band is playing all the attention and focus go towards the stage as it is brighter but when the fellowship needs more ambient lighting that could also be provided. The blue cove lighting that aims towards the ceiling is also designed to be on, for the times that the band is playing which represent the calm, quiet sky of desert.

IAUCTB 2011 ART & ARCHITECTURE LIBRARY I TEHRAN I
IRAN
CARPET MUSEUM
N Kargar Street
My site is located in the central part of Tehran.It is connected to carpet museum from south, Laleh Park from the west and Karegar Street from the west.The fact that this area is surrounded by different universities, educational facilities and cultural buildings makes it appropriate for designing an Art and Architecture library. The idea is to design something that improves the connection between the carpet museum and contemporary art museum, through its architecture and landscape design. A major pedestrian path will tie these three buildings together and focus on the importance of pedestrian scale. Something that has been completely neglected in Tehran.

RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX I TEHRAN I
IRAN
Darya Street
t
The idea is to find the best possible way of locating roadways, vehicular and pedestrian paths ,landscapes and solid volumes throughout the site. The designed part of the site contains 46 apartments in 5 floors on pilotis. 1-2-3-4 bedroom apartments have been distributed in five floors. Lower floors have less private areas than the upper ones. I have tried to separate day and night, private and public zones in units to help residents live more comfortably. Maximum usage of desired natural light is necessary. Kitchen, storage, guest restrooms and stairs in duplex apartments are closest to units’ entrance. Each apartment has at least a master bedroom with separate bathroom . They all have a balcony with enough space to accommodate a table and some chairs. In duplex units, day and night zones are separated in the best possible way, in which all daily activities are concentrated on first level and all private areas like bedrooms are located on the second level. The facade skin is made out of light curved wooden panels, which create another layer of privacy for residents. It also increases the control over undesired solar gain and make the building facade look more flexible. A lightweight, undulating wood panels on the roof ties in the entire building with facade design.
