Student dormitories are among the im portant spaces of a university. Students leave their city and settle in a distant town to continue their studies. They spend all this time in dormitories and stay away from living with their families. The unique feature of living in a dormito ry is that people from different cultures come together to live together for 2 - 4 years.
The spatial quality of the dormitories and its facilities plays an essential role in how the person’s study period is spent and di rectly impacts on other parts of the per son’s life during this period.
Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) is one of Iran's essential universities, and many students study there.
The current dormitory of the university consists of 6 residential blocks located in an area next to each other. These blocks are mainly used as residences, and de ficiency of cultural and social spaces is felt. The absence of a focal study hall, restaurant and meeting hall is one of the most critical needs of this dormitory. In addition, the existing blocks are de signed only to create more rooms in the existing space, and this point of view has caused a high density of people to live in the blocks without proper facilities.
PROJECT: Boys Dormitory of SBU
LOCATION: Theran - Iran
DATE: Sept 2019 - Jan 2020
The project aims to design an extension in the dormitory area to compensate for the current deficiencies and create a pleasant space for students.
* The current site of the dormitory
The project’s location is on the hillsides of the Alborz mountains, in the Valenjak dis trict in the north of Tehran and the current campus of Shahid Beheshti University.
Favourable weather and fabulous view around are the unique features of the site. The higher height compared to the sur rounding areas has given it an advantage over the surroundings.
Also, due to the distance from the city centre it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and indescribable calm and quietness exist in the region.

On the west side of the site, Derkeh village; on the north side Alborz mountains; on the east side Daneshjou boulevard and Valenjak district; and on the south side Shahid Beheshti University are located.
The project consists of two main phases: the first is a public space with the uses of a restaurant, meeting hall, and study hall, and the second includes residential areas.
The elongated proportions of the site caused the central axis to be placed in the middle and formed positive and negative spaces around it. In addition to creating a communication axis, this axis creates a continuous and unobstructed visual connection from the beginning to the end of the site. At the end of this axis, the view and skyline of Tehran are visible. Therefore, the view of the city has been preserved from all over the site.
The first phase includes public spaces located at the entrance of the complex. This building has a central courtyard with oth er areas around it. The yard reminds Iran’s past architecture, and the surrounding spaces are accessed from this courtyard.
This building has two floors, the ground floor is a restaurant and meeting hall, and the upper floor is two study halls with expansive balconies all around that have a unique view from all sides; view of the mountains of Tehran from the north and the city from the east, west and south. Its roof, perched on tall round columns, is like a canopy that covers the spaces below, and because of the inward slope, it is reminiscent of the roofs of Shemiran villages. These features have created a formal ar chitecture that contains elements of Iran’s past architecture and has created a beautiful atmosphere on the hillsides of the Alborz mountains.

The second phase consists of two residential blocks, which are placed symmetrically on the sides of the middle axis. Access to these blocks is provided through pillared corridors that continue to the end of the site. In front of each block is a small yard with green space, surrounded by the U-shaped block, and these green spaces are separated from the outside by the corridors. . Each block has two floors and 16 rooms; each room has enough light and a great view of the city.
The facades of the blocks are based on the main rhythm that includes all the blocks and gives the project unity. In addition to the facade, this rhythm is also present in the pillar corridors. ↑
1. A 4 bedroom according to standards; The beds are on two floors, and each bed is the most private space of one person.
2. Beds can be separated from the room environment with a shutter or curtain and become a private space during sleep
3. People in each room live together for 2 to 4 years and are constantly interacting with each other at all stages. Such as eating dinner, playing and...
4. There is a small sink in each room. Meanwhile, each floor has a shared kitchen
During the 230 years that Tehran be came the capital of Iran, significant changes have occurred in this city. Pop ulation growth and rapid political and social changes have occurred during these years. in the result, Tehran's histor ic districts, which are the city's historical heritage, have been destroyed and ne glected.
Oudlajan neighbourhood is one of the oldest in Tehran, containing many his torical buildings. Oudlajan was the city's most prominent and affluent neigh bourhood during the Qajar era, but it lost its importance over time.
Due to its adjacency to Tehran Grand Bazaar, most of its houses have been turned into industrial workshops and warehouses.
Neglecting this historical heritage has caused most of these areas to become uninhabited and its people to migrate to more modern parts of the city. Today,
it can be seen that people who still live in these areas are facing severe cultural and social problems. Also, the irregular construction around these areas has af fected their historical aspects.
Oudlajan bazaar is the core of the dis trict. Some efforts have been made to re vive it, but the neighbourhoods behind the bazaar are still in poor condition.
This project tries to take a small step in improving the conditions of one of the essential historical areas of the city with the approach of infill architecture and construction in the historical context.
Oudlajan Bazaar forms the neighbourhood’s main structure, and essential passages are branched from it. *This small local market starts from "15 Khordad" Street in the south and reaches "Zamir Nik "Alley in the north.
The Bazaar has been preserved after years, but parts of it have been lost over time. Although today the bazaar has been beautifully restored, the behind parts of the bazaar are still in poor condition.
On the sides of the Bazaar, empty or aban doned plots need to be constructed based on in-fill architecture principles to revive the bazaar and neighbourhood.

Current Function: industrial workshop
AREA: 623 m2
Current Function: Abandoned carwash
AREA: 2260 m2
Current Function: A set of destroyed buildings
AREA: 924 m2
Current Function: open warehouse
The project is located in Oudlajan Bazaar and is a complex consisting of 4 buildings in four plots; 2 residential buildings for tourists and two cultural buildings.
1. The residential complex is a place for tourists who come to this district from Iran or other countries and decide to experience life in this neighbourhood for a few days. These buildings consist of different types of rooms, restaurants, and other service spaces. Each building com plements the other.
2. These buildings, In addition to completing the Bazaar's role as a commercial centre, can be used by people who still live in this neigh bourhood. In this way, the lack of cultural spac es in the area is slightly compensated, and the Bazaar, and the shopping centre, becomes a platform for forming cultural spaces and activ ities.
Building No.1 :
Function: 3 classrooms - 2 workshops - 2 handicraft exhibition
Building No.2 :
Function: 10 rooms - Office of tourist services - restaurant
Building No.3 :
Function: 24 rooms - restaurant - 2 shops
Building No.4 :
Function: gallery - theatre room - library - cafe
Two cultural-commercial buildings and two residential buildings are lo cated in four empty plots in the oud lajan bazaar, and the bazaar line con nects these buildings like a chain. Also, the passages and side alleys that branch off from the market are marked in the picture.
TThe dense urban texture around the market, abandoned or ware houses, is visible. This part behind the Bazaar is not in good condition and needs more attention.
Turning this dense part into ware houses and workshops has created a dangerous environment for peo ple. By converting houses to these uses, people have left their homes and gone to the modern parts of the city. This has caused this area to become a gathering place for drug addicts and homeless people. Mazelike alleys with a narrow widths have caused less security by being away from the Bazaar lane.

The geometry of the project, the ar chitectural elements and the materi als used are taken from the principles of Iranian architecture, which were abundant in Odlajan many years ago.
Considering the height, old passages, access to the bazaar and creating an Iranian character and identity were among the most critical issues in the project.

The grand floor consists of a courtyard in the middle sur rounded by residential spaces. 2 Iwans face each other, giving the yard an authentic character. This floor is consist of 22 residential rooms with direct connection to the yard for every room. 4 rooms have their own private open space wich can take by two family.
The first floor consists of two rooms. Access to this floor is provided by staircases on one side of Iwan and is part of the facade. Also, there is a small yard with a visual connection to the outdoors (Oudlajan neighbourhood and plaza) and inside. This yard is behind the Iwan.

The two Iwans on both sides of the yard, which are used as semi-open spaces, are elements that tell the identity of the building in conversa tion with the yard and link the proj ect to the past of Oudlajan. Stairs are located on the side of the Iwan and form a part of the surrounding façade of the courtyard.
The entrance of the complex, sepa rated from the outside, first enters the courtyard and then gives access to every space.
↑ Diagram of Bazaar, passages and the Plaza
Although this geometry has turned the project into an in troverted building, outside the project recreates a part of the lost commercial space of the bazaar in the form of a small yard and establishes a dialogue with the neighbour hood and the passage.
On the north side of the proj ect, a small courtyard was cre ated in one of the passages of the bazaar, which completes the role of the bazaar as a pub lic space which has faded.
In addition to the importance of these spaces for the market, the absence of such areas in the neighbourhood is quite noticeable. Therefore, this small plaza can be used by vis itors and residents of the com munity and is a unique space in the heart of Tehran's histori cal context to spend time.

With the rapid change of social and economic circumstances in high-den sity urban areas, urban and building space requirements are changing quickly. Multi-functional buildings, in re sponse to the rapid growth of cities and the change in social conditions, have opened their place in city spaces.
Multi-functional buildings collect diverse functions and activities in one build ing and, simultaneously, have become a popular type of building among city people.
Many believe that a Multi-functional building compared to some separated single-functional buildings, has a high er efficiency over time. These buildings are occupied by different users with dif ferent needs and can effectively reduce terrific in the city streets.
Although multi-functional buildings are one of the results of the growth of mo dernity, in the past centuries, there was an excellent example of multi-functional space in the cities of Iran; Bazaars with diverse activities and functions such as trade centres, restaurants, teahouses, mosque, passage, etc. was the most vi brant part of the city which was spread like a vein in the body of the town.
Today, with the increasing population of cities and reduced urban space resourc es, multi-functional buildings, unlike bazaars, grow in limited footprints with more height which has different com plexity in the design process.
Gandhi street in Tehran, by Gathering buildings with diverse functions, is one of the most important streets in the capital. Many offices, health centres and trade centres are gathered in this street and its surrounding.
The project is open from 4 sides; At the north is adjacent to a park; the south is adjacent to an alley; the east is adjacent to valiasr street, and the west is adjacent to Gandhi street. The main accesses of the complex are provided from Gandhi and valiasr streets. Also, limited pedes trian access from the park and service access from the alley.
Furthermore, the arrangement of spac es with different functions and proper connections led to the design of the form in more detail.
The project on the ground floor, with transparent walls, establishes a proper dialogue with the city and passers-by.

Site plan of the project
The project is located between Val iasr and Gandhi streets. Therefore the 17-meter difference between these streets is a significant problem.
Access to the project is provided from these two levels, and the shopping centre has an axis connecting these two levels. In Gandhi and Valiasr Street, a row of columns specify the entranc es and make a proper connection be tween the project and the sidewalk.
The project consists of three floors of parking, a 5-floor shopping centre and cinema and six-floors office units.
The office with lower construction density is located on the northern side of the site, above the commercial part.

↑ Gandhi complex is a building with diverse functions such as a shopping centre, cin ema, food court, café, gallery, bank and office units. This building, with 12 floors height from valiasr and eight floors height from Gandhi street, is located at the intersection of Gandhi, Hemmat and valiasr street. These 12 floors comprise 3-floor parking, a five-floor commercial and food court, a 1.5-floor cinema, a 0.5-floor gallery and six office floors.
↑ Seventeen meters heights between two levels of Valiasr and Gandhi streets is one of the site challenges. *To solve this challenge, the commercial area of the project connects these two levels by creating a straight axis that starts and ends on en trance points. *This direct axis is well understood and readable and has become the central concept for the formation of the void and commercial areas in the project.

The duplex office unit, one of the types of office units, has been specified in a 3D explod ed view.
The southern façade consists entire ly of a transparent curtain wall con nected to the edge of the concrete slab by U-shape brackets. in front of the curtain wall, there is a screen consisting of horizontal aluminium louvres that control the southern sunlight. The louvres blades can ro tate at different angles according to the needs of the building. The possibility of rotating the blades is provided by gears that change the angle manually by the users of the building.
The project's façade is mainly com posed of transparent walls to in crease the visual connection be tween the building and the outside and prevent massive solid walls in urban facades.

On the top of the roof of the office complex, there is a 10 * 24 skylight to provide more light for the office units and the central void.
This skylight consists of steel struc tural trusses, aluminium mullions, Low-E glass panels and aluminium cover caps. At the corners of the sky light, there are spandrel panels to cover the edges.
The upper surface of the skylight di rects the rainwater to the side with a slope of 2.5%.

Cultural centres are considered one of the essential cultural infrastruc tures that can play an influential role in the cultural dynamics of society, or ganising and cultivating people’s cul ture. They are places for interaction between people in a neighbourhood or city.
This project aims to build a cultural centre in one of the empty plots of the city, which today has become a dangerous place because of robbers and homeless people.
The project is located in the west of Tehran, next to the “Modiriat bridge” and the "Management University".
In this high-traffic area, there is an empty plot bounded from the north to the “Modiriat Bridge”, from the west to the University of Manage ment, from the east to the “Chamran highway”, and from the south to an empty plot with some trees.
The main accesses to this project are provided through “Chamran high way” and “Moditiat Boulevard”. By crossing the “Chamran highway” and “Modiriat Boulevard”, the location of this project is completely visible, and its form design has been considered from different angles.
The project’s main idea is to design a building that attracts attention from dif ferent sides and is recognised as a land mark for the city.
The overall form of the project is a free-standing pyramid. The empty and flat area surrounding the project em phasises the form and gives it an iconic appearance. Reciprocally, the glass pyr amid affects the devoid environment like a centre of gravity. This open space is a public space for people to gather and interact.
The project's spaces are organised un derground to prevent the increase of the pyramid's volume, reduce its impact on the surrounding environment, and maintain the human scale.
All the pyramid's walls are transparent, creating a proper visual connection be tween the inside and the surroundings and reflecting all the events inside the outside to make urban life more dynam ic.
The site’s connection with the north ern boulevard is through the stairs that seem to have been poured on the slope of the ground and are inclined towards the pyramid.

the northern face
The spaces under the pyramid have breaks in the plan derived from the primary geometry in the project. The surface of each floor is empty in parts, and this open space flows seamlessly from the bottom of the pyramid to the top of the whole project.
The ground floor has an educa tional function consisting of sev eral classes, the -1 floor is dedi cated to the study and shared workspace, and the -2 floor is de voted to the gallery and muse um with a courtyard below the ground floor.

The project's spaces are organised underground, which an asymmetric glass pyramid covers.
The main lines of the pyramid geometry contin ue on the lower floors so that all parts of the proj ect are in complete unity.
The project is an asymmetric pyramid. The pres ence of a fracture in its northern face has in creased this asymmetry and broken its scale in the eyes of the audience. Moving this face inside has turned it into the main front of the pyramid and invites the visitor to the project.
