Design Process
Architectural Design 05 According to the surveys taken by residents in Nemat-Abad district, the major problem of this neighborhood is lack of open spaces where people can gather for special events. The main concept of this project was to create an open space that can be connected to the main streets in particular events and separated when not needed. The surrounding slum view has been hidden by means of a dynamic green surface. The space beneath this green surface provides few semi-open spaces that are connected to the surrounding streets.

Architectural Design 05 The distinct characteristic of Nemat-abad residential buildings is that there private and public activities are strictly separated. Yet, spaces are flexible enough to provide an appropriate space for distinct activities. This flexibility is essential because of dramatic changes in a typical family in Nemat-Abad. So we considered two main principles for our design: 1. Separate cells in order to provide flexibility 2. Dividing House into four main parts: private, public, court, service 3. Designing different open spaces in order to link different units

Site Analysis
This project is designed for two families. Besides two separate housing units, an office space that belongs to both families was required. Accordingly a serious separation of the private and public spaces was necessary. The residential spaces (private) are faced towards the green space located on the west of the lot. The office space is located next to the entrance and works as a link which links the two residential units. The two residential units have been separated by means of a small open space which is aimed to increase social interactions among residents.

Serlachius Museum This project was designed to fulfill a design competition for adding an extension to Serlachius Museum. During the design process, we decided that the best location for the museum is nearby the old building facing the lake where the minimum number of trees are requires to be cut. A path that provides the movement all over the project links different spaces together and defines the sequence of spaces. The path, in fact is the main element of the whole project

Serlachius Museum The main body of the project consists of two separated parts. The ground floor containing the foyer and the official spaces that is a transparent space filled with isolated solid forms with different functions. the 3 galleries in the first floor are separated by a dynamic path. These tree galleries that are isolated from outside connect to the old building with a bridge so that the galleries in the old building come right after the galleries in the new one.

DOE Home Challenge This competition was held by the U.S. Department of Energy. The Penn State team took part in this competition and included team members from a number of different disciplines. The major objective of the competition was to design an affordable house for a lowincome family with a focus on low-energy design strategies. In order to reduce the final cost and energy consumption we decided to minimize the footage of the interior spaces. At the same time, we reduced the interior walls to make the house feel large. The project lingered 6 months and included both primary concepts, construction documentation.

The Conscious Surface In this structure, flexible paper pixels develop and produce a stable dome. The paper dome is 5.5 meters in diameter and consists of 80 paper pixels in 5 types which are temporarily attached together by 500 pincers. The experimental steps in finding from:
1-Finding the approximate shape of the dome by means of computer modeling and building a 1:2 model of the dome. 2-designing a simple machine in order to make the favourable and precise folds in the paper 3-studying different types of joins and finding the most efficient ones.
