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.

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

Unification of units

Residential

A.D. 02

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.

SerlachiusMuseum

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

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.

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 low-

income 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.

Drawings

These drawing have been

produced during several trips

to historical points of Iran. The

entire drawings have been

drawn in few minutes with

either pencil or rapid

technique. some of these

drawings have been

represented in exhibitions held

in university.
