Design methods: Space frames are typically designed using a rigidity matrix The spatiall characteristic of the stiffness matrix in an architecrual space frame is the independence of the angular factors. If the joints are sufficiently rigid, the angular deflections can be neglected, simplifying the calculations.

Not all people who come to the museum are looking for in-depth, detailed documentation. Thus, the guiding concept of layering can be used. The first layer focuses on the theme of the exhibit and identifies the period; the second layer introduces a limited amount of information as an overview. In the third layer of design, there is in-depth knowledge that is amplified and detailed. This ensures that the museum visitors can visit at leisure or to grasp the complexities of the subjects.

SITE INTRODUCTION: The complex systems approach offers an opportunity to replace the extant pre-dominant mechanistic view on sport-related phenomena. The emphasis on the environment-system relationship, the applications of complexity principles, and the use of nonlinear dynamics mathematical tools propose a deep change in sport science. Coordination dynamics, ecological dynamics, and network approaches have been successfully applied to the study of different sport-related behav-
Niavran is an affluent and upper-class district in the north of Tehran, bordering leafy,uphill-winding darband street; it can be reached from tajrish square and is close to darband at the far north-eastern corner of greater Tehran. niavaran complex is one of the notable places in niavran, a multifunctional place where people tend to spend their time there.

DESIGN PROCESS:
1- this extension was added to the folded surface to create a welcoming entrance
2- the pyramid was inserted to the building to create the gym salon and its upper surface play as atrium to provide adequate natural light.
4- various ramps were added to facilitate 5- This extension was added to create the the way to connect spaces and allow the space for rock climbing and the ramps to users to have a satisfactory view of the site allow users to reach the building’s rooftop.
In current times, fast technological advancement is an essential factor causing significant difficulties in designing construction objects. It has a particularly strong effect on the extensive sports facilities used for many years. The issue of designing projects accounts for the possibility of changes throughout their life cycle become important.
3- the deformable cube was inserted to create the swimming pool space
6- Sloped gradients were added to create a space for social gathering and resting as long as they wanted.
VIEW ANALYSIS DIAGRAM Everything is judged by what people see, in such a way that true meanings are lost. All that matters nowadays is to please the eye. Two movements that rest on common ground, which is the power and importance of vision in architecture, realized the potentials that sight has and used it in totally different ways to achieve other goals. On the one hand, it is the deep philosophy of phenomenology and more specific of perception that translates vision as a way of understanding space and at the same time as a link between the humanmade world and nature, which then triggers the existential questions.

05 RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE
Soroush Piri Architecture Portfolio
Mirmiran Competition Spring 2017 Location: Tehran-Iran
Maybe it doesn’t only happen to me, But also to all those who civilization has given birth to for the second time. Yet I feel that for me ,or for those who feel like me, Artificiality has become a natural thing, and what is natural seems odd .
Soroush Piri Architecture Portfolio
The area of responsive architecture is at the conceptual intersection of architecture, design, and technology. It presents an opportunity to investigate the potentials for engaging place-dwellers in an interactive exchange with each other and with the built environment, and can be regarded as an experimental medium for conceptual investigation. The concept of creating responsive architecture is synonymous to creating experiences in place, and for building site-specific interventions within the built environment that use computational technologies to choreograph or facilitate engaging experiences for visitors, spectators, and place-dwellers.
COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN

THE CONCEPT Physarealm polycephoroum is a mold with an identification process. It’sIt’s a single-cell organism, and it joins with other cells to perform a super mass cell to maximize its supercell. Within a slime mold,you mayfind thousands ormillions ofnuclei. In its natural habitat, slime mold is found, famishing in the woodlands eating rotting vegetation. It likes its environment dark and damp, and its favored food is porridge oats. Its network and forms connections with food sources and leaves a trail indicating where it has been.

Woekshop Fall 2020 Supervisor: Dr.Morteza Rahbar
When it’sit’s fed up with a warm petri dish, it would scale to and better home. It grows to 1 centimeter an hour, and it’sit’s not ideal for live viewing. Slime mold goes off to explore new territories. In deep rate direction, it meets itself self it knows it’sit’s already there and recognizes itself and instead retreats and grows in other directions. When introduced to 2 points of food, it establishes the shortest and the most efficient root. In research, the slime mold was invited to explore a territory covered in oats its finds out in a pattern as it goes; each food forms a network connection and keeps forging. After 26 hours, it establishes a network between different oats. There is nothing remarkable about this until you realize the center oat that it started from represents Tokyo’s city, and the surroundings oats are the suburban rail stations. The slime mold had replicated the Tokyo transport network. The experiment concluded that the slime mold could create an efficient network and solve the traffic problem that the engineers put many hours to optimize the length.

THE BRIEF STORY OF THE EMERGENCE OF THE FINAL PROTOTYPE
Soroush Piri Architecture Portfolio
In this project, we designed a prototype that possessed swarm intelligence features based on its structure and the form that follows using the Culebra plugin in the grasshopper. Also, we had to consider the prototype’s capability to bear the upper segments’ pressure so that the second idea germinated in our minds to eliminate the second twist to enhance our prototype’s stability.

THE CONCEPT
02 MESH RELAXATION
Soroush Piri Architecture Portfolio
Self study
The minimal surface has different definitions, two of which are explained here. The first definition of the minimal surface is Any surface with the least possible surface area of those into which it could transform, typically the shapes of soap bubbles that span wireframes. The other definition is Any surface of vanishing mean curvature. Includes, but is not restricted to, surfaces of minimal area, as given by some boundary conditions. in this project, I tried to use this term to design a prototype that enables the experience of different experiences with various atmospheres without restrictions of so-called structures that tend to restrict the people’s path toward reaching the upper levels. It is designed as if there are no boundaries to walk through spaces because, as you see, people can sit on some of its edges or just walk away and seeking to find their favorite perspective. The pipes that circulate the main body of the prototype are the critical structures of it, which buttress the prototype’s stability and reflect the dynamic spaces.
THE CONCEPT In this project, the main goal was to importing sound into geometry. I tried to find a way in order to design a prototype that can respond to the sound. In this regard, I design a square web in which each of its units responds to the frequency that they gathered from the sound. They do so by moving back and forth. To make this possible, I use grasshopper to create this square web, and by using its normals, I connect sound to make each unit move toward its normal vector

THE CONCEPT
04
Deployable structures have various advantages,Their main advantages are the small volume they occupy during storage and transportation, and their fast and easy erection procedure. A new concept of self-stabilizing deployable structures featuring stable, stress-free states in both deployed and collapsed configuration shows even higher promise. During the deployment phase these structures exhibit a highly nonlinear behavior. A large displacements/small strains finite element formulation is used to trace the nonlinear load-displacement curve, and to obtain the maximum internal forces that occur in the members of the structure during deployment. The influence of various parameters that affect the behavior of the structures, such as geometric shape, dimensions of the members, cross-sectional properties and kinematic assumptions is being investigated. In this project I used the 4 dimential module to enable the stability of the structure. through this rpoject by adding the modules together, it butress the both flexibility and the stability of our structure.

THE CONCEPT
05
The generic name deployable structures is used for a broad category of structures that can be transformed from a closed compact configuration to a predetermined expanded form, in which they are stable and can carry loads. The use of deployable structures is very old, as most of nomadic populations have developed such kind of, sometimes sophisticated, shelters. Talking about tents, it may be for example funny to compare nomadic shelters to contemporary hiking tents. In modern terms, due to their inherent transformability, deployable structures can be considered aspecial case within the broader class of adaptive and morphing structures, which are characterized by their ability to change the shape, the mechanical and physical properties, according to theexternal excitations and the requirements emanating from their use at any given time. WIth this in mind, I tried to design a deployable table to fullfill both the functionality and the modernness. In this regard this table’s height is changebale, and you can adjust it in three heights which are 35cm, 40cm, and 45cm. It depends on your use of this product. by pushing the table down ward its height decrease with the joints movements that are desigend.

PARAMETRIC EARINGS
JEWELRY DESIGN To design these earrings,I used both WB ( Weaverbird) and DELNUAY components to create this pattern for its outer facade. At first, I used brep edges to attain my surface edges. I used curve join in unifying the curves to use offset on a surface component. Simultaneously, I connected the surface to populate geometry. After that, I connected it to the delnuay mesh component. By connecting it to mesh explode component, I used mesh faces, and at the same time, I connected the result of mesh delnuay to face normals to reach the centers. After that, I connected the output of delnuay mesh and the offset on surface and centers to point in curve component. Then by using the cull pattern component, I got the proper mesh that I intended to reach, and connected it to the WB frame component, then I used weld mesh to join each piece created by the wb frame. Then I used wb mesh thicken and connected it to both the wb frame and wb’s mesh window, then by connecting the output of the wb frame and wb’s mesh window to wb Catmull Clark component, and the final parametric mesh appeared
