Snowlight Pavilion is a serene retreat nestled high within a Tehran ski resort, offering skiers and visitors an unparalleled experience of tranquility and awe. The pavilion's most striking feature is its expansive, sinuous glass window that gracefully wraps around the structure, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-covered mountains. This window not only floods the interior with natural light but also creates a seamless connection between the cozy, inviting space inside and the majestic natural landscape outside. Visitors can take a break from the exhilarating slopes, sipping on a hot cup of coffee or enjoying a warm meal while they relax and soak in the stunning vistas.

FRP composites are a combination of high-strength glass fibers embedded in a polymer matrix. The result is a lightweight and incredibly strong material that can be molded into various shapes and sizes.
The use of FRP composites in construction brings several advantages:
Enhanced Durability: FRP composites have excellent resistance to corrosion, weathering, and chemical attacks, ensuring the longevity of structures.
Reduced Maintenance: With their corrosion resistance and low-maintenance properties, FRP composites reduce the need for frequent repairs and refurbishment.
Sustainability: FRP composites have a lower carbon footprint compared to materials like steel or concrete. Their lightweight nature reduces transportation energy, and they can be recycled at the end of their service life.
Cost-Effective: While the initial cost of FRP composites may be higher than traditional materials, their long lifespan, reduced maintenance, and lower life cycle costs make them a cost-effective choice in the long run..
The architectural brilliance of Snowlight Pavilion is showcased through the innovative use of lightweight yet robust materials, with the large, sinuous window structure crafted from Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pipes and the expansive glass panels connected using durable PVC frames. These materials were carefully chosen not only for their ease of transport to the top of the mountain, overcoming the logistical challenges of high-altitude construction, but also for their exceptional durability and low maintenance requirements. FRP pipes offer resistance to corrosion, weathering, and extreme temperatures, ensuring the window's structural integrity in harsh winter conditions, while PVC frames provide excellent insulation and weather resistance, preserving the pavilion's energy efficiency. This thoughtful combination of materials ensures that Snowlight Pavilion remains a long-lasting and sustainable retreat, harmoniously blending modern design with the timeless beauty of the snow-covered peaks.

Parametric design provides a method of continuous deformation of façade morphology and patterns until the architect finds interesting patterns or shapes that satisfy the desired aesthetics. In practice however, design options tend to be governed by building codes to meet various environmental requirements. In this project, a parametric model generated based on the user needs and the designer desired aesthetics and then, the building’ facad optimization conducted regarding the Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA)and Annual Sun Exposure (ASE) as measurements for daylight performance based on LEED Standard.

* Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) identifies surfaces receiving too much direct sunlight that may cause visual discomfort (glare) or additional cooling costs. ASE measures the percentage of the work plane exceeding the threshold of 1000 lux more than 250 oc-
** Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) assesses whether a space receives sufficient daylight on a work plane during standard operating hours on an annual basis. The target is 300 lux for 50% of the occupied period(LEED).
A lightweight and versatile structure has been thoughtfully designed for a new bazaar in a Naseryeh, Iraq in the Middle East, blending tradition with modern functionality. This innovative design serves dual purposes, functioning as a sacred space for Friday prayers and transforming into a bustling local market during the week. Inspired by the rich architectural heritage of the region, the structure's modular elements allow for easy reconfiguration, creating an open, serene environment for worship and a vibrant marketplace on other days. The use of durable, lightweight materials ensures the structure's resilience to the local climate while minimizing maintenance, making it a sustainable and culturally resonant addition to the city's landscape.

Nasiriyah, Iraq, experiences a desert climate with extreme temperatures and very low humidity throughout the year. Summers (June to August) are intensely hot, with temperatures often exceeding 46°C (115°F) and humidity dropping to around 10%, creating dry, arid conditions with almost no rainfall. Winters (December to February) are much milder, with daytime temperatures ranging from 17°C to 20°C (63°F to 68°F) and cooler nights, accompanied by slightly higher humidity and the majority of the region's limited rainfall. Spring and autumn are transitional periods, with temperatures gradually increasing or decreasing. Winds are typically stronger in summer, leading to occasional dust storms. These climatic conditions necessitate environmental designs that prioritize heat resistance, effective shading, and the use of durable, low-maintenance materials to withstand the harsh environment
When designing a lightweight structure for Friday prayers in Nasiriyah's extreme weather conditions, several key factors must be considered to ensure both comfort and durability. The structure must provide ample shade to protect worshippers from the intense heat, which can exceed 46°C (115°F) in the summer. This can be achieved using materials with high reflectivity to reduce heat absorption and implementing ventilation strategies that maximize airflow, taking advantage of prevailing winds to cool the space naturally. The use of durable, lightweight materials like FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or PVC is crucial, as these materials can withstand the harsh, dry climate with minimal maintenance. Additionally, the design should consider the potential for dust storms, ensuring that the structure is both sturdy and easy to clean. Finally, given the cultural significance of the space, the design should harmonize with the local environment and architectural heritage while providing a serene and comfortable area for worship
Evolutionary form-finding regarding structure performance
Designing a tall building is a complex task due to the wide variety of design factors. This work use a “Generative Design Workflow” for the conceptual stage of tall buildings design using PBD method. This workflow generates various alternatives that outperform the initial model regarding the seismic performance. Towards this goal, first, the variables in the form that affect the building’s seismic performance are specified. Next, the architectural seismic design and performance criteria are defined. Finally, the optimization problem, including optimization goal/s and its/their corresponding fitness-function are determined.

The purpose of this project was to design a commercial complex as a landmark and icon of the region. To achieve this goal, Voronoi geometry has been used to design the form. In addition to visual appeal, Voronoi geometry has a modular but non-uniform geometry that creates dynamic spatial relationships.
Voronoi patternt is modular but not repetitive pattern, with potential for a great variety of complex geometries. This makes it attractive as a design tool - as the non-repetitiveness suggest a parametric quality that might be more ‘adaptive’ than ordinary modular systems. A further interesting property of the Voronoi structure is its inherent notion of spatial relationships, adjacencies and neighbourhoods, of which the Voronoi cell is a direct geometric equivalence. This property suggests that the Voronoi diagram can be useful to model parametric spatial relationships.

The Twisted Twice research project was carried out at Iran University of Science and Technology over a one-year period, from January 2022 to January 2023. The computational form-finding of bending active structures based on structural and material properties was the first step in this research. Several hybrid structural systems were tested and prototyped to find the best solutions in terms of material usage and cost while meeting displacement and tension criteria.
