Brunswick Bazaar

This design is a market place for Brunswick modelled on a Persian Bazaar. In traditional cities in Iran, the main body of the city cannot be defined without the existence of a bazaar. Bazaars connect the different parts of the city and provide bridges between the middle and lower classes of Iranian society.

Since most Persian bazaars are spatially introverted, even during the day it can be dark inside the covered space. What makes these corridors special is the radiating light which is emitted into these dark spaces through small skylights in a way that you can follow light radiations through the darkness. It creates a pleasant visual and sensational atmosphere. That is why bazaar is not just a place for commercial purposes many people just walk in to sit, think and enjoy the place.

The Brunswick Bazaar aims to re-work the quality of traditional Persian Bazaar from an introverted to a more extraverted type. While bazaars normally are dense, introverted and narrow corridors, my market tries to open up as much as possible.

The result draws attention to space above and frames views of the sky which we pass under of every single day.

The studio investigated material informed designs from the surfing industry. The first part of the studio aimed to focus on material and structural form and the second part of the studio tried to explore design models for surfing pavilions, based on principles of digital inclusivity of the specific content, topological form, and digital manufacturing.

The project located at the Chiba, Tokyo, Japan. The pavilion was supposed to serve the surfer and audience for the surf events.

Surf pavilion facilitates a large surfing event as well as being a central hub for the community of Itchynomia during different ceremonies.

Also, the pavilion is an event center, an industrial machine, a landscape, an ephemeral object - forever changing within the forces of the site. During the manufacturing process, The team has chosen to use recycled polystyrene as the structure for the desalination system to continue our support for a better ecological environment.

This design studio investigated the role and effects of ‘urban renewal’.

The main purpose of the studio was to create a collaboration between Architecture and landscape to propose a direct relationship to the existing consolidated urban context. The goal was to readapting of existing built and open spaces rather than the creation of a new footprint and tried to establish vital relationships with the vicinity area rather than produce isolated and individual interventions.

The project is located in the area between the two poles of RMIT and Melbourne University, also inclusive of Queen Victoria Market, an appropriate area for innovation, cross-programming and space sharing.

Ending up with a system of collecting rainwater, treatment, and reuse, worked as a sustainable cycle which creates different acupuncture zones for different social activities such as cooking workshops, childcare, nursery, flower shop, and compost making area.

As all the interventions are flexible and able to be re-fit into the pocket areas within the existing site, they will provide opportunities for a wide range of pop-up activities in different locations based on different intentions.

The following presentation is the project which was worked on from Oct.2014 to July.2015 as my B.Arch. Major project at Shiraz University, department of Art and Architecture, which is entitled: «Fashion Technology Park (Cultural fashion and Art Park), case study: Dry river, Chamran Blv., Shiraz - Iran.

The project was a cooperative thesis containing of two separate projects working on a colabourative ground, which was a new concept in the Final Thesis execution at the university.

One Part as the fashion centre and all its activities and a park which is located in the southern part of the building. The second part as the bridge over the river and all the landscape design around and over it, which contains an amphitheater, shops, restaurants and designed area for different social and cultural activities such as street theatre and so on.

My main responsibility was to work on the first part which is “THE FASHION CENTER”

Master Plan

•The Idea of The Fabric Structure and Textile

•Inspired

by Fabrics Textile in an abstract way.

• The concept of the complex was inspired by the fabric textile, but not its softness and its appearance. In fact, the concept was inspired by the power and strength and entanglement which makes soft lines and fibers a united fabric and structure.

•The Idea of Iranian and Geometrical Pattern

•Using Iranian and Geometrical pattern as a cover layer.

•Surrounding the old building in the park with soft environment and flooring .

On-site construction

The project was an Architectural contest in the “2016 Shiraz Annual Architectural Award”. The program held on two parts, the design studio workshop and Construction works held on the site of AfifAbaad Garden in Shiraz-Iran. The program started on the 11th April and finished on the 23rd April and was organized by Fars Construction Engineering Organisation.

In the contest, there were groups of seven people who were supposed to work in teams. We were supposed to design and build a structure in a space of 3*4 m2 in the walk-path of Afif-Abaad site, where we could be inspired by the tradition and old Iranian Architecture (AfifAbaad Garden) and Modernism of Urban Environment of Satarkhan street. Our group which was called “ ArtGidora”, the power of art and inspiration, won the 1st place winning an award in “Construction Technology” category.

Layers

• We participated in different studios. We worked on our idea and presented them in the forms of sketch, collage and physical models to get the final design with the real materials.We were given about 50% of our material as ‘’The Red Arg Bricks” and the rest material was optional.

Our idea was to create a modular structure with the least and simplest materials, so we only used bricks as the main material and metal as the structure, which was removed at the end of the project.

The structure we built was only one module which can be built repeatedly together like a walking path or entrance, etc. It shows different aspects of the old bricks by its softness, curved walls, and structure. Besides, different views and shapes can be seen from each side of the structure.

Moreover, although it reflects an old vault designed on a very thick base, this structure has only two narrow bases with just 10cm of one side of a brick. It can transmit its power through the curved walls.
