Sorena mall is an individual academic project located adjacent to the Chitgar artificial lake of Tehran. This region is a tourist hub and lively resort for various people around the country visiting Tehran. The site is surrounded by nature, mountains, and commercial and residential buildings.
The axis along the main splendid arch open a breeze circulation path from dry area (buildings and nature) to wet area (artificial lake). Furthermore, arches in the building are designed to invite and summon people in the site to the courtyard, which links exterior to interior and create dynamic environment. The building functions mainly as a shopping mall and contains other spaces such as a gym, community center, and indoor amusement park. These amenities provide the recreational necessities and dynamic place on a regional scale.

SORENA SHOPPING MALL
The building reinforced with two structural systems. Conventional and diagrid steel shell. The shell and exterior wall unified with diagrid system. In central part of the building, a long-span barred arch and vault formed the entrance of building mass.
Using precasted concrete as a core structure can be a good choice to make the designated shape. However since the building can be extremely balky it is recommended to apply lightweight concrete as much as possible.

The initial challenge was arranging these units to maximize the area on the sloped site. Through a preliminary research and site inspection it was realized that there has been a limitation for building height. As a result to maintain the sensation of low-rise atmosphere, the building designed in two dichotomous mass placed horizontally.
Nevertheless, vertical green spaces and roof garden leverage a vibrant public realm for residence which creates a pleasant space for families and neighbors to mingle with each other.

While I stayed in Japan, I used to sketch during my spare time. I strolled around the towns and capture the impressing buildings for me. The city I spent my majority of time in it -Nagano city- is known for its nature but in my opinion the urban fabric is very delicate and match the nature.
