E. Social Activity Zones
Designating dedicated spaces within the building for social interaction and communal activities, fostering a sense of community and collaboration among occupants.
F. Conceptual Ideation Process
Developing the architectural design based on conceptual ideas that prioritize functionality, aesthetics, and environmental harmony.
G. Initial Conceptual Volume
Establishing the initial building volume with a focus on scalability and adaptability to accommodate future needs and changes.
Designing parametric facades using the repetition of heterogeneous geometric patterns is an innovative approach in modern architecture. Utilizing parametric design software like Rhino and Grasshopper, architects can create unique and complex facades.
This process involves defining variable parameters such as dimensions, angles, and positions, allowing the facade’s shape to evolve dynamically. Repetition of heterogeneous patterns means each pattern has its unique characteristics, which can change randomly or follow specific rules.
Modern materials and construction techniques like composites, precast concrete, and 3D printing are crucial for realizing these designs. Additionally, environmental impacts such as light and wind must be considered to maximize both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the facades.
Site Plan for the Child Care Center, A Haven for Socially Disadvantaged Children
The site plan for the Child Care Center for Socially Disadvantaged Children in Ahvaz, Iran, is thoughtfully designed to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment.
Situated in a tranquil area of the city, the layout incorporates ample green spaces, playgrounds, and outdoor activity areas to encourage physical activity and connection
The design features interconnected buildings with classrooms, therapy rooms, and recreational spaces arranged to promote easy navigation and a sense of community. Natural light, calming colors, and flexible areas are utilized throughout to support the children’s growth, development, and emotional well-being.
This site plan aims to provide a holistic environment where children can thrive, learn, and heal.
Main Entrance
Combining colors and parametric shades in the exterior of a building, along with a green area featuring a water element, can create a striking and inviting entrance.
The parametric shades, designed with advanced software, provide dynamic patterns that play with light and shadow, enhancing the building’s visual appeal.
Thoughtful use of color can highlight these patterns, creating a harmonious and vibrant facade. Complementing this, a green area with lush landscaping and a water feature such as a fountain or reflecting pool adds a touch of tranquility and elegance.
This combination not only defines the entrance clearly but also creates a welcoming atmosphere, blending natural elements with modern design for a sophisticated entry experience.
Outdoor Playground

Villa Lumina
Modern Elegance: The Exterior of Villa Lumina
The villa’s facade is a harmonious composition of geometric forms and minimalist aesthetics.
The structure is framed by sleek concrete lines, which contrast beautifully with the abundant greenery and landscaped garden.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows dominate the exterior, offering unobstructed views of the outdoors and allowing natural light to flood the interiors.
The interplay of solid and transparent elements creates a dynamic visual effect, enhancing the villa’s modern appeal.
A prominent feature of the exterior is the extended roofline with built-in recessed lighting, which adds a dramatic touch and highlights the architectural details.
The balcony on the upper level provides a serene space for relaxation, adorned with a lush row of plants that integrate nature into the living experience.
The journey began with a clear vision: to create a villa that harmonizes modern architectural aesthetics with the tranquility of nature. The initial concept was to design a structure that not only stood out for its beauty but also blended seamlessly with its surroundings. This vision was inspired by postmodern architectural principles, emphasizing eclectic styles, bold geometries, and a playful mix of materials and textures.
The chosen site for the villa played a crucial role in shaping its design. A thorough site analysis was conducted to understand the topography, climate, and natural vegetation. The goal was to maximize natural light and ventilation while ensuring the villa’s design complemented the landscape.
With the initial plan in place, the next step was to develop detailed designs. The exterior was envisioned as a harmonious blend of modern materials—concrete, glass, and steel—contrasting yet complementing each other.
