AVI C EN N A HOSPITAL In coll abo rati o n wi th: H oom a n Tayebi B a ch el o r Pro jec t | Wi n ter 2014 Tehran U ni ve rsi ty of A r t Hospitals are comprised of a wide range of services and functional units. These include diagnostic and treatment functions, such as clinical laboratories, imaging, emergency rooms, and surgery; hospitality functions, such as food service and housekeeping; and the fundamental inpatient care and bed-related functions.

This diversity is reflected in the specificity of regulations, codes, and oversight that govern hospital construction and operations.

Each of the wide-ranging and constantly evolving functions of a hospital, including highly complicated mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications systems, requires specialized knowledge and expertise. The functional units within the hospital can have competing needs and priorities. Idealized scenarios and strongly-held individual preferences must be balanced against mandatory requirements and actual functional needs (internal traffic and relationship to other departments).

This exercise aims to explore these functional needs and their respective relationship and access to each other.

T H E TURBINE M aster Pro jec t | Fa l l 2016 U ni versi ty of Ca l g a r y Recent years have demonstrated the significant popularity of an ever-changing and dynamic architecture as well as the importance of sustainable buildings and the use of renewable energy sources in architecture. To address these two vital factors simultaneously, this project aims to combine and incorporate the notions of change throughout the time and the use of a renewable energy source such as the wind in its design and achieve a better environment alongside aesthetics.

The form is self-illustrative. Much like Norman Foster’s Gherkin building in London, the cylindrical shape was created to facilitate the smooth movement of the wind. On the façade of the building, there are numerous fins that are operated with the force of the wind. As they rotate, they harvest energy and power the building, generating up to 40 KWh on each sweep. Depending on the wind speed and the size of the fins, each ring will rotate up to 6 or 7 times a day, some in clockwise and others in a counterclockwise direction, creating an interesting visual pattern for the pedestrians while demonstrating a vibrant building.

Stationary magnets and moving coil is a form of obtaining EMF by moving the coil in the magnetic f ield produced by the stationary magnet. The below f igure shows an arrangement that consists of a coil, which is moved by the movement of the wind-powered f ins and it is connected to a galvanometer to indicate the current flow.

Whenever the coil conductor is moved either forward or backward, there is cutting of the flux lines by the conductor. Hence an emf is induced in the conductor and current starts flowing through the circuit thereby generating an electric current which is collected by the conductor brushes below.

The direction of the current flow is determined by the movement of the conductor in the magnetic f ield. The faster the conductor moves (by wind), the higher the current flow would be.

MOH -K I N S -TS I S GATH ER I N G H O US E M a s te r Pro j e c t | Win te r 201 7 U n ive rs ity o f Ca lg a r y The Moh-Kins-Tsis Gathering House is a space for culture, dance, music, and interaction in the style of the first peoples’ traditions. This place allows the visitors to experience and explore various first nations’ ceremonies and become acquainted with their customs in an eye-opening environment and setting. The space tries to expand the knowledge and educate the visitors by introducing them to a forgotten culture and providing a learning experience that enriches the perception of the next generations.

The main intent of the architecture is to explore the first nations’ dance, and powwow movements, to create an abstract overlay of the body motions and musical melodies, as well as incorporating the various cultural aspects of the first nations, including the medicine wheel, the fire, the clothing, etc.

Driven by these traditions, this project tries to educate, exhibit, and, preserve history.

Mechanical Design Air Supply Ducts Air Return Ducts Air Handling Units (AHU)

Conditioned air f rom the air handling units (AHU) is supplied into the underfloor plenum, and this air then flows f reely to supply outlets.

Supply outlets are smaller compared with ceilingbased systems, and the air is distributed closer to the building occupants.

Outlets may be floor diffusers, part of desktops, or partition outlets equipped with individual controls.

Adjustable outlets allow users to manage temperatures locally, enhancing thermal comfort.

Air is returned f rom rooms at ceiling level, taking advantage of the natural buoyancy of warm air. This helps remove the heat produced by off ice appliances and occupants, as well as remove air contaminants f rom the conditioned space more eff iciently.

Contrary to conventional overhead systems with air mixing, UFAD systems lead to a stratif ication of indoor air. This way, warmer air and pollutant particles tend to accumulate above head height, which improves thermal comfort and air quality for occupants. In addition, the exhaust air can be removed with less ventilation power.

Today, it is heavily polluted with chemicals and needs to be revived. A new master plan has been proposed to create an attractive waterfront redevelopment for the Portlanders. This includes a variety of land uses considering the site adjacencies, connections, view corridors and pedestrian flows.

Portland Maritime Museum encompasses the institutional and entertainment land uses of the master plan. The proposed development consists of four interconnected buildings, each having a different theme and gallery showpieces, where visitors can explore and learn about the history of Portland’s maritime transportation.

The history of the city of Portland, Oregon, began in 1843 when business partners William Overton and Asa Lovejoy filed to claim land on the west bank of the Willamette River in Oregon Country. In 1845 the name of Portland was chosen for this community by coin toss. February 8, 1851, the city was incorporated.

Portland has continued to grow in size and population, with the 2010 Census showing 583,776 residents in the city.

UPPER LEVEL 5000

The land today occupied by Multnomah County, Oregon, was inhabited for centuries by two bands of Upper Chinook Indians.

The Multnomah people settled on and around Sauvie Island and the Cascades Indians settled along the Columbia Gorge. These groups fished and traded along the river and gathered berries, wapato and other root vegetables. The nearby Tualatin Plains provided prime hunting grounds.

H I STOR I CA L RESTORATION O F M O STO FI - OL- MAMALEK HO US E In co l l abo ra t i on w i t h : Az i n Fa ra h a ni Ba ch el or Projec t | Spri n g 2014 Tehra n U ni versi ty of A r t Iran is an ancient country filled with historic monuments and houses that need more attention and care. Mostofi-ol-Mamalek historic house is a precious piece of contemporary history of Iran that has been abandoned and awaits restoration and revival after its inauguration 110 years ago.

This project is an attempt to raise the knowledge of restoration and preservation methods through The study of materials such as wood, concrete, stone, etc.

After surveying the building and producing the blueprints, we divided the damages and studied them carefully in order to come up with a permanent solution for restoration. Several damages that were recorded include openings of joints, descending humidity, ascending humidity, the decay of wooden elements, beams and ornaments, corrosion of metal components, cracks on the facades and ceilings as well as plaster and colour casts. These were then indicated on the drawings with different colours and presented for a clear overview.

CL IFF HOUSE Master Pro jec t | Wi n ter 2018 U ni versi ty of Ca l g a r y The Cliff House is designed for an architect and musician who wants a retreat from the busy everyday life in the city. It is infixed into a cliff where a shear movement path has divided it into two parts. This staircase leads down to a viewing platform with spectacular views of the pacific ocean. Located on Bruny Island, Australia, it is the perfect site for this house.

The notion of Adolf Loos’ Raumplan has been incorporated in the design and features multiple spaces that are interconnected and continual, with different heights that serve different functions.

SHEAR CHAIR M aster Proj ec t | Wi n ter 2018 U n i versi ty of Ca l g a r y The form is driven from a strong shear movement borrowed from the cliff house.

It is designed as a dining chair meant to be used in the house that fits the brutal context of the project, yet provides tranquility and comfort.

It is entirely built from a single 5’ x 5’ sheet of plywood and connected solely with glue. The pieces were designed and optimized with cad and sent to a CNC router.

Then they had to be laminated and glued together.

It can hold a maximum of 150 kg and is very robust, achieving both functionality and aesthetics.

Base Groove

The idea stems from a large, rough, and rocky landscape that conveys a daring, yet elegant piece of furniture for the cliff house. It creates dynamism through its sharp and pointy form, as well as, an LED that changes colours and brightness controlled with a remote. The lamp consists of 3D printed transparent PLA material which emits the light and creates dynamic visuals on its textured surface.

PRIVATE PROJ ECT

In co l l abo rat i on w i t h: Steph a ni e Qua n M aster Proj ec t | Wi n ter 2017 U ni versi ty of Ca l g a r y The aim of this project was to turn individual authorship into collective memory. By exploring how familiar objects and their projections can be inserted into an architectonic background, a new form of domestic space is produced. The project deals with the collision between public and private programs, where the most intimate becomes clinical and commodified, raising the question; what is private?

The drawing is read as a continuous floor plan; a system of walls with punctual openings and interconnected rooms. Filling the spaces with domestic objects further suggests a possible life within the rooms.

The project began with the familiar and resulted in the unexpected; creating spaces of tension and interest, which further serve the concept of public vs private. Emerging relationships and spatial configurations invite us to question assumptions we have about domestic space and the way we inhabit it.

Beginning with a photographic survey of the domestic realm, 10 representative fragments were documented, framing distinct individual objects. The objects were re-drawn as silhouettes and assembled into a figure/ground composition.

T E NSILE PAVILION Master Pro jec t | Fa l l 2017 U ni versi ty of Ca l g a r y The design for a small pavilion to operate as a gathering space/ rest space within the main campus of the University of Calgary. A cable net structure supported by a central mast and five peripheral arches defines the organic form of the pavilion.

Several small tensile models were constructed during the development of the original ideas. Several experimentations with thin nylon tights models helped understand the geometry of the net structure in an attempt to explore the form-finding techniques used

by Frei Otto on similar structures.

IT ’ S ALIVE!

In co l l abo ration w i t h: Youn ess Yousef i , Yanjji nl k ham Tum ut ba a t a r, J oe Ka pl a n M aster Projec t | Wi n ter 2018 U ni versi ty of Ca l g a r y The initial objective was to create a system that acted as a structural system but challenged the notion of a static system. The dynamism of the system would allow a landscape that could be altered depending on the spaces needed.

The component was one part of a larger system. A sketch model was made that tested where actuators, anchors and basic connections would react with each other. A digital model was also made to predict how the system responds.

Our goal was to create a dynamic system that could change our perception of space through expansion and contraction.

The Prototype integrated the component and system studies: • The component is the actuator, anchor and basic parts • The system was created using wood, and stretchable fabric • An Arduino system combined with an electric air pump brought the system to life. (See Video)

Material Testing began after determining the system of origami and after many experiments, silicone with a plywood composite and stretchable fabric proved to work better.
