House of Future

This is a competition for the ministry of education in Berlin, Germany called 'House of Future'. The project is designed in cooperation with morePlatz office in Rotterdam. The site is located in Berlin right next to the famous wall of Berlin. The idea behind this design is to create a modern shape which reflects the purpose of this building and reminds future at the first glance.
The design is a 4floor building plus an under-ground floor according the competition specification. We considered a big void to create a connected space from the bottom to the top and to bring a natural light into the building.
The concept of the proposed shape comes from a landscape which is an inverse hill.

EPFL-Research-Tranquility elements in middle eastern architecture

During the master program in EPFL we have to work on the theoretical and practical thesis. Based on my interest, I did a research on tranquility and calmness elements in the vernacular persian architect. Well, before this research, mostly I had modern and digital design experience and passed few related studio in the school. To me it was a very valuable experience since this research gave me another direction and understanding of the architecture. I'd love to use what I have learned in this research in my future designs and projects. The research results is published as a booklet in French you can download it via the below link. If you have problem with downloading this file, please feel free to contact me. And last but not least, let me know your comments about it !


Au cours du programme de master à l'EPFL, nous avons à travailler sur les deux aspects théoriques et pratique de thèse. Basé sur mon intérêt, j'ai fait une recherche sur les  éléments dans l'architecture vernaculaire persane qui donnent la tranquillité. Eh bien, avant cette recherche, j'ai surtout eu l'expérience de conception et l'architecture moderne, paramétrique et hight-tech, et j'ai aussi fait les mêmes studio à l'école. Pour moi c'était un autre expérience et cette recherche m'a donné une autre direction dans l'architecture. J'aimerais utiliser ce que j'ai appris dans cette recherche dans mes créations  de mon future projet qui est mon projet de diplôme. Les résultats de cette recherche 
est publié dans un booklet en français, vous pouvez le télécharger via le lien ci-dessous.

EPFL-Thesis Project-Persian cultural center, persian garden in RAK city-Emmirates

This project is about a Persian cultural centre with Persian gardens. The supervisor of my thesis is professor Jeffrey Huang. The site is located in RAK city (Ras-Al-Khaymah) in United Arabs Emirates. It is located by the sea in a residential district with a warm and humid climate. Its area is about 7000 m2. The site will be a centre for cultural activities and leisures for the inhabitants of that district. The architecture is aimed to create tranquility. Persian vernacular architecture is analyzed and used as the inspirational source to form tranquility in the whole project. Interior courtyard, screen, wind tower and persian garden are used as elements to create tranquility. Courtyards are calm and refreshing areas of the house. Screens have colorful designs and create nice patterns of light and shadow. Wind towers bring fresh air inside the buildings and operate as zero consumption air system. Garden brings happiness and tranquility by beautiful flowers, water stream and shadow of trees. The location of the site at the seaside is another important to reach to tranquility.   If you are more interested in this project you can find my detail analysis from the below link:

Bazaar-Shiraz



This project was in Iran and the site was located in Shiraz. Shiraz is a historical-touristic city in the southern part of Iran. In the heart of the old city of Shiraz there are two mausoleums from the IXth century 1km apart from each other which is the connecting route for pilgrims and other visitors and civilians. There were old houses in this area which have been evacuated twenty years ago and after a while it has become ruins. This project is aimed at finding an architectural solution to change the current situation and to bring back life there. ‘Bazaar’ is the proposed solution, which brings activity and added value to this part of the city of Shiraz but it is a new approach to the traditional architecture of bazaar in Iran.
Bazaar is a network of routes which are called ‘rasteh’.  Each rasteh is a long, narrow and labyrinthine route with many shops on each side. At the crossing point of rastehs there is a spacious area called ‘Souk’. If someone walks down a rasteh, he may reach to a bright extension.  This light is coming from an interior courtyard of bazaar called ‘saraa’. Such a saraa is surrounded by shops and offices from the same kind. There are several saraas in a bazaar with different sizes. Some saraas have a green areas and fountains in the center.  
In this project, the traditional elements of Iranian bazaar are combined in an organic form of a plant named branching method.  The main branch or rasteh connects the the form was done wo mausoleums while the alleys of the surrounding districts are connected to the sub-branches. The structure of tby the modular structure by concrete.
