For me, in architecture, beyond drawing lines and creating forms, the most crucial issue is awareness.

Awareness of the moments which will pass by my construction, or could have passed: cognizance of the concealed and the conspicuous, the ethereal and the tangible, the grotesque and the beautiful.

To achieve such awakening, besides buildings, I mingle my fascination with drama, literature, film, music, dance, and all the things helping me to see the big picture, for I believe everything is connected.

Embracing the Odyssey - Creating an Educational Complex from farm to school Studio Greg Lynn Master Diploma Project Winter Semester 2024

Schooland is an educational complex integrated with food production and farming within the school, in order to create a dynamic habitat and bring out an in-depth knowledge of an ecosystem for children.

Strategically located between rural and urban areas in order to have existing agricultural parts expanded into the school building and used by the students. In a way that not only we see green fields next to the school but actually see the impact of them on each school program in a different way. The mission extends beyond cultivating crops; it’s about nurturing young minds, particularly those from low-income families. By offering hands-on agricultural education, we aim to empower these children with the knowledge and skills they need for a brighter future.

“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.”

- JOHN DEWEY

GREENHOUSE

PLAN ART STUDIO & MUSIC ROOM

The school’s architecture consists of 7 circular school spaces connected with 7 circular terraces and open circulation which hug the gardens within themselves in a way that one can see and experience the gardens wherever they are in the entire project either through direct access or the openings and windows. The program consists of two parts: existing school activities and green spaces. These parts are connected and the adjacencies are based on the purpose of each space. The school space is considered for 300 students and 14 classrooms, an art studio and a music room, a sports space, and a library. Two other zones are for offices and an animal barn on the side. There is a kitchen and a greenhouse next to each other and here it created a dining garden in between classrooms and kitchen.

LIBRARY

The library, art studio gym, greenhouse, and a part of classrooms are directly connected on the first floor and also again on the second floor. There is a central ramp that makes the access from the ground and gardens to all the terraces.

SITE PLAN Po i n t Co o k , M e l b o u r n e , Vi c t o r i a

The site is located in Melbourne, Australia near the Philip Bay and between the rural and urban sides of the city. There is a river beside and a coastal park all around the river. Two main roads are connected to the school one from the urban side on the north and one from the rural side on the west and these are how we enter the school from both sides. In terms of landscape, farms continue into the school from the west side, and trees mainly come from the east.

Also Worth mentioning that Port Phillip is often warmer than the other areas in Melbourne and the coldest month of the year comes with a minimum of 6 centigrade degrees.

O R G A N I Z AT I O N

Most of the spaces are open in the school and it can be considered an outdoor school.

Here you can see the open terraces which are also circulations and then the enclosed areas. The idea is to have a school where children can play and enjoy themselves as if they are in a park and have the excitement to move between the spaces through the bridges and open air. The weather is warm to moderate throughout the year so it’s never too cold to be outside during the day but ventilation is very important in warm months, so I tried to maximize the possibility of natural ventilation with all-around openings as well.

I initially chose the circular shapes intuitively but the fact is Children actually need the dizzying input that comes from spinning, rolling, and swinging. These important movement experiences help the child’s nervous system to mature and organize. Many adults eventually start to dislike the feeling of spinning or repetitive swinging, but for children, it is a crucial sensory input. Just like spinning, when they run and move in circles, they figure out where the “center” is and then are more able to coordinate balance and movement on the two sides of the body. Rather than making children susceptible to falls, it improves a child’s surefootness, and it also improves their ability to further concentrate in the classroom.

ART STUDIO

I experienced with the circle plan to have different designs for each space regarding each activity’s function and spatial quality. I tried to have the language of play in interiors as well. For example, for the library, I have a ramp following the shelves and you can access the books while moving up toward the skylight and the central entrance floor becomes a hall for study. Then there are small terraces for an escape on different floors connected to the ramps.

For the music and art studio, we have two separate floors which are also connected and have an inside/outside staircase that leads to the roof area. All the roofs are connected to the terraces and are usable. The roof of the classroom is stepped for sitting and having outdoor classes as much as indoor ones

we have a central courtyard in the middle of classrooms with almond, apple, and pear trees, there is a grain part in front, and a small kitchen garden in front of the kitchen to use the products for cooking in the kitchen. And then there is a dining garden with burry plants which is an outdoor dining space while being a garden Lastly, I have the greenhouse and its connection to the surroundings and interior. On one side there is a rain garden that collects and purifies rainwater with plants and inside the greenhouse, there are planted layers. on the ground floor, there is a pool that is a natural pool. Without chemicals, the way it works is also by filtration of water with plants and it creates quite an ecosystem inside that can invite also fishes frogs, and butterflies inside. The water system is a constant cycle of water entering the pool, being used and pumped to the plants, and eventually once in a while drained into the stormwater drain. also the rainwater collects in the rain garden and is filtered through the root system before entering the stormwater system.

“Studies have shown that even a simple 45-minute trip to the park every week can have lasting effects on a child”s development, mood, learning abilities and more. ” Learning is the interaction between the learner and the environment, Children are born with innate curiosity and a drive to explore and learn as much as they can. If the environment provides opportunities for exploration, children can preserve this kind of curiosity into later ages. Modern learning theory views acquiring new knowledge and skills as an active process. Previously learning assumed an active stance from the teacher, but passive reception from the learner. Children were viewed as “sponges”. The learners of today are actively constructing their experiences instead of being just recipients of readymade solutions. Learning classically focuses on the left hemisphere of the brain. A shift from the left side of the brain to the right hemisphere can be observed. The right half, which is more synthesizing, divergent, and contextual, grows in importance.

Just like Outdoor amusement parks provide a stimulating environment that engages all five senses. Here they are exposed to a multitude of sensory experiences that allow children to develop their processing skills.

This experimental learning setup helps the children to internalize the concepts rather than just remembering them. When a child is creating his own learning through activities, he improves his imagination as well.

Sitting in the classroom can become mundane and boring. When you move about in the spaces you will end up being both physically and mentally active. An active mind is a center for learning.

So don’t stop the movement!

O n e Thousand and O n e Nights Museum Final Thesis, Individual Project Instructors: Saeed Haghir Site: Tehran, Abbas Abad Fall 2017

This project is based on my longstanding penchant for telling a story through architecture and writing a play for every single picture seen by the viewer. Everything is not summarized in pictures, indeed. All the senses have to evoke for the story to be told. Between the imagination and reality, there comes the architecture, and behind all the lights and shadows there are manifold ways perceptions.

Which story should it be?

The story in which the ethereal comes into the real and rely on its foundation, same as the architecture. Magical realism is best defined by these words. In Iranian history, magical realism has its very first signs in One Thousand and One Nights stories, even before the emergence of this genre in Latin America. Due to the cultural recession occurring and increasing in Iran day after day, the importance of literature reduces at a mindful pace.

The length of these stories and the separation of literary and everyday language in Persian, also makes the society apart from this precious book. The project is aimed to change the existing condition by bringing literature into a more tangible and intriguing form: A Museum. In this museum original illustrations and inscriptions which are kept in national libraries, out of reach for people, are brought out and shown in a modern way, using projectors, instruments, and installations.

I preferred a spatial 3D design method due to the nature of the project. Interior spaces took priority over the exterior forms and faces, and designing bottom-up, frame by frame, made the whole story and building possible.

I selected stories in which the critical points of the whole is occurred, and tried to sketch the feelings the story conveyed. By making several physical models based on these sketches, the main structure of the museum came into the life and design process was continued with solving plans and functions.

We adopted a circular ferris wheel concept for circulation through perimeter, combined with an inside atrium for shaping our spaces.

This project is to put aside outside and inside boundaries to make people circulate within the open air and to make the air circulate within the spaces. started with a given building prototype we provide two ferris wheels as the main circulation method of the building. this safe circulation of people within the open air also speeds up the fresh air around the building. with the addition of other open vertical circulation choices, we created a constant connection between outside and inside spaces all around the facade, while providing a 100% mechanical network to distribute people.

from the inside, a specifically shaped atrium takes the fresh air from the bottom and leads the dirty air to the top while circulating the air within the building. getting help from the bernoulli’s principle. in combination of outer and inner boundaries we created between spaces.

the project gives its users the freedom and independency to move from outside to the target floor. the wheel also provide minimum contact and maximum distance between the visitors. turning in opposite directions on an automatic program, wheels are the safest way to ride without touching, waiting or being interrupted by other people. open lifts are considered for more direct and faster transportation and each of the means stops in different separated space so that there is minimum change of meet for two visitors in a specific place.

we didn’t design a horizontally distributed conventional building as it leads to have corridors and more infection risk, but we broke this pattern to make people move vertically rather than walking horizontally. obviously in this way relevant spaces are considered to be on top of each other rather than being next to each other. the circulation of people helps air flow in two ways, first with its constant moving around the building that makes the air refreshing quickly, and second with the doors opening and closing constantly that people themselves circulate the air by their distribution.

E v e r - T e m p o r a l Individual Project Studio Díaz Moreno and García Grinda Site: Pata-Rât, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Summer Semester 2020

How Pata-Rat maintains its identity?

Does nomadism gratify the intention of finding something new?

Nomadism preserve the mentality of creativity and seeking for the new and living in a new context while keeping their tradition and trying to act tradition in a different context brings about the new.

Without experiencing the hatred of forgetting the old or the pointless endeavor of remembering it through archives, Romani finds its inner equability in experiencing the new along the old. As the sense of belonging is far less presence, Romani community sustains Without yearning for nostalgia that disturbs the modern society as they are in the sake of a lost part they intentionally immolate for the utopia of new. This is why they stand-alone in the antilogy of time. The sentiment of finding the truth as an eternal meaning to their life or the push of defining the hidden other in order to find the authenticity.

However, Pata-Rat tries to keep the presence of family to maintain the needlessness for the nostalgia, and the authentication for its identity.

What about the Pata-Rat?

When the phantom of sedentarily living appears, however, the constitution of Romani community bursts, as does the structure of living in Pata-Rat. Except that the longing for the past and the desire of keeping the old seems to be a paradoxical notion related to the community, the way of following nomadic living functions while settled, have turned out to be the apparent contradiction, practically.

One Day Independent Study, Individual Project Site: Tehran, Valiasr Street Spring 2018

After the Iran revolution in 1979 opera and ballet were banned entirely in the country. This change caused the Persian Ballet Academy to escape to Sweden. My dream is to see Swan Lake on the stage in Tehran, and I designed the project for the hope of freedom. Indeed an imaginary object needs an abstract approach and a futuristic perspective for the structure of the building. The building itself has to speak in a surreal language, though.

A memorial or a wish, all deep yearnings has the same end for recapturing the beauty of moments, and nothing can stir memories better than reflecting it in a more tangible language.

I try to translate the movements of ballet into lines in order to become closer to architecture and design.

According to the Italian method, there are eight positions of body which all are occurring on specific points of a square. Getting the lines through this movements brings about several options to be used.

The outermost structure resembles very much that of a skeleton and keeps all parts of building together by contacting the inner section.

Second comes a glass structure to bring the sunlight into the corridors and make the view of park and street possible for out of the main building.

Last is the main structure which works as a column with a vertically united shell structure.

Site Plan

Designed as five different houses in relation to each other, this project is intended to bring together five poets for living in a small community. The goal is inspiration, strengthening the emotional exchanges and creating a polyphony. The main question is, though: How could five families live closely connected? The project is located on the “Zargandeh” neighborhood (North district of Tehran) known by its old and valuable lands along the stream which comes from “Alborz” mountains, providing an appropriate context for an introvert architecture. As if the building is singing a song, soundlessly.

Jung said the words; we find calm by staying on a circle, as when we were in the womb and as we prayed the fire in the middle of a fire temple. Jung describes his tower: “circles of stone, with a heat in the middle.” “I wanted a room in this tower where I could exist for myself alone,” he said, living as simply as possible, without electricity or running water. Our lives surrounded by cubes without any sense of perfection that was painted, written and explained by a “Circle.”

Individual Project Studio Greg Lynn Summer Semester 2023

The project “RED LOOP” is a space created to exhibit the Redbull RB18 car as an object. The main concept of the project is to create a sonic experience in space in which sounds act as an entity that animates and enlarges the architecture, in order to make us aware of our presence within the building.

The idea of presence becomes possible through reflection in different ways: through reflective materials, different perspectives or creating interaction with the objects. Space created through moving sound is a spatial experience for users.

“Music is liquid architecture; architecture is frozen music.”

-Goethe

TY P O LO GY

For achieving such a concept, considering both different perspectives and sonic possibilities, I started with a voxelated cube and developed different typologies, creating a progression of how voxels and empty space work together to shape forms which have different acoustical features as well as giving diverse points of view from each side.

Below you see the process of two main parts creating an enclosed room in four floors with access through ramps from different floors and everything else is revolving around the room. Perspectives and windows are the main visual considerations by which the visitor has different views to the car in a way that it has become a subjective experience of space.

VERTICAL ORGANIZATION

When we enter the building in ground floor, we will notice the dead space right away. The fiber coating along with the double surface roof absorbs all the sounds and sound traps prevent any reverberation so that the visitor experiences the pressure of silence as if something is ready to begin. Moving to the upper floor however, the interior becomes alive with reflective materials. Marble on one side and mylar panels on the other side create a loud and reverberant space which exhibit the car. Tiles become dynamic and changeable.

The room is designed with two acoustic qualities one is sound traps and second is sound diffusers so that the surfaces create a distinct role to the building as well as acting as a medium for sonic experiments.

STUDY MODEL

Voxelated spaces act as mediums to reflect sound in different ways. A study model examined a small part of the roof in a less voxelated version to show the tectonics and the exterior/ interior difference

IN&OUT

https://youtu.be/vlL5kdgDi_Y Going in and out of the room considered as a break to the visitor. The weightlessness of exterior and the way it shows the car within a frame is the subjective experience that zooms in and out and plays with the perception of the car. The interaction with the building continues to the roof and the roof become stairs to move through and see the cars from there as well.

Finally, the glass installation on the water under the room showing the car body floating release the visitor and leaves a sense of calmness

You can feel a temporal atmosphere which makes the past alive. The historical cars are manifested as living cultural events which may have significance for visitors. By experiencing their own living past, the visitors may set boundaries for future hopes and fantasies. The whole design process for historizing the visitors aims to bring the past alive in the present. I think this will be the way for many projects over the coming years in this country. We are linked inextricably to the past even as we move forward with new technology and design processes. Architecture in Iran has the chance to offer the best of both worlds.

We started with an accumulative component which couldn’t be divided into a simple cell. So we tried to change the whole pattern system by playing with grids and vertexes. Moving intersections and vertexes, Bending axes and rotation of grids caused symmetric / Asymmetric, flexible/ rigid, and flatter/ curvier patterns that helped us to discover the behavior of our component to have compatible shapes and curvatures for the human body. These challenges gave us a broader view of folding rules and the ability to analyze the patterns’ act before applying on paper. Our outputs were printed on big rectangles without any dress outline.

After finishing the workshop, I tried to transform our pattern to other patterns using transition lines which were created as a result of previous trial and error. These are some seamless patterns transformed between two components, printed on rectangles without any particular outline. Transforms caused dramatic changes in the behavior of our component, in some cases transitions are more apparent, and sometimes it was more seamless as needed.

Finally, I made some outlines with no doubt about their afterfolded result, thanks to several experiences done.
