TEHRAN GENERATION HUB
Project location: Tehran, Iran
The GENERATION HUB acts as a think tank. This building with the various parts it brings together, will be a productive spot. Young people can cooperate in different ways in various spaces of this building and implement their new ideas in the field of culture, society, tourism, etc.
We believe that if the necessary facilities and platform are provided for the new generation, they can well help increase cultural and social exchanges and improve economic conditions.
The GENERATION HUB consists of exhibition halls, small amphitheaters, Persian cultural center, library, offices, and hotel rooms. But the most important part is the spaces for NGO and SRARTUPs which allows people to be there from idea to implementation and plays the key roll in this productive spot.
* This project was my thesis project and a team work with: Mana Hosseinpour, Bogdana Stanchovska
Beside some architectural parts, I did Structural calculations and analysis and BIM analysis in this project.

Facade Design
Based on ladybug sun analysis two main facade of the skyscraper (south and east) are mainly in contact with light and heat. For controlling the absorption of heat and sharpness of the sunlight especially during summer another external facade applied to the tower for improve the sustainability and management of the energy. Application of this external facade was merged with a pattern which is a representation of Persian culture patterns that affect the perception of building from different distances.
The idea of the facade came from Mashrabiya or “interlaced wooden screen” is one of the most prominent traditional architectural elements in the Middle East.
Louver systems
Shield glazed building envelopes from direct sunlight and control solar heat gain whilst still maximizing natural daylight into the building. Louver format allow natural ventilation of internal building spaces whilst keeping intense sunshine and moisture covered with PV for additional shading and heat reduction properties.

SPONGE SKYSCRAPER
Project location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Over the last 30 years, there have been an average of 289 significant natural disasters per year and Jakarta is one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world. While some parts of East Java relatively still categorized as developing/ underdeveloped area. So, increasing of population density will encourage urban development in these areas. The residents of Jakarta city are suffering from heavy rain and flood. Meanwhile, the population of city is increasing rapidly. They need more place to work and live. In the future, nature and human culture should reach a high degree of harmony, local people can enjoy living, working, sporting, socializing here, meanwhile, high efficient facilities guarantee the energy-saving and environment friendly.

Facade Design
For the inner part, as the large shading already existing, we just need the transparent curtain wall to allow the terrace view to extend into the interior space. At the same time, the chimney effect can be realized by the openness of the part of the curtain wall While for the external facade, we need more shading to resist the strong sunshine around the tower throughout the whole year in this tropical climate zone.
As we choose bamboo as the reference to sculpt our tower`s shape, we also want to search for some reference from the local materials and local crafts. For resisting the horizontal force from the wind, we add the diagonal bracing outside the columns, the bracing creates a rhombus shape which inspires us to consider the weaving of the skin, like the bamboo weaving product.

RESPONSIBLE FACADE
Project location: Milan, Italy
Building 2 in the campus of Politecnico di Milano is located beside a common area which students spend their free time between classes there for meeting or playing pingpong. This activities cause noise pollution that will be an annoyance for students in the classrooms of surrounding buildings specially building 2.
The goal of the project was to design a kinetic facade that is acoustic and prevents noise from entering the building meanwhile, do not reduce the day light in the classrooms.

MILAN SPORT HALL
Project location: Milan, Italy
Milano Santa Giulia is a green and residential district under construction in the south-east periphery of Milan.
The proposal of FOSTER & PARTNERS for Milano Santa Giulia imagines a district that is well connected to the rest of the city, yet combines the essential components of a selfcontained community, thus making Milano Santa Giulia a ‘city within a city’.
The goal of our project was to design an arena which will be the main ice hockey arena for the Olympic Games 2026 in Milan.

• According to proposal of the project the first perception is a dense context with residential blocks.
• The relation between the residential area and arena in this case is considerable.
• Identifying the characters of each section and being aware of limits and considerations will lead to solutions which leads to a balanced result.
• So, during the design process both characters will be considered paralleled for keeping the balance.

The proposal of FOSTER & PARTNERS for Milano Santa Giulia imagines a district that is well connected to the rest of the city, yet combines the essential components of a self-contained community, thus making Milano Santa Giulia a ‘city within a city’. The goal of our project was to design an arena which will be the main ice hockey arena for the Olympic Games 2026 in Milan. We decided to keep the main placement of the arena according to proposal and apply some modifications to decrease the density around the arena and control the direction of crowd toward arena. After the games it will be used as a multi-purpose space (sport events- basket, volleyball, tennis indoor, various performances as exhibitions, concerts, etc.). This aim requires a design with high functional flexibility.
