I live my dreams and wear my passion for discovering solutions.

I am always actively looking for extra opportunities to contribute to human everyday life by design.

This vision motivated me to participate in several design competitions, workshops, summer schools, etc.

I have a broad range of design practices, with scale spanning the neighbourhood and urban design in some cases and costume and product design in others. A commonality across all scales has improved my problem solving and design thinking skills.

This portfolio of selected projects represents a few layers of design practices I have had in different countries.

After seven years of studies and a total of two years of work experience, I have gained experience in both academic and professional fields of architecture and urban design.

Now I am looking forward to exploring further by focusing on the intersection of tech and design for a more sustainable future.

I can share and tell you more.

THE MICRO-HOME

14

THE MICRO-GRID The micro-grid is a sustaining model organized and managed by the community, providing the distribution and storage of shared resources within the closed loop network. At the heart of the micro-grid is the community hub, this location acts as the control center for the community. Here residents oversee resource distribution and can find access to facilities, services, goods and technical training.

Energy is captured and supplied to the grid via a wide range of applicable green sources, such as wind turbines, solar voltaic panels and/or biofuel. It is the responsibility of the community to tend to these systems ensuring optimal operating conditions.

COMMUNITY HUB At the core of the micro-neighborhood is the Community Hub. It represents the heart of cooperation within the community, providing the primary gathering space for community planning and organization.

The building is inherently dynamic, the community hub serves the microneighborhood by playing a variety of active roles at given time. Practical functions vary in degree depending on the immediate needs of the community; a workshop, material distributor, knowledge center or medical center, the building typology is flexible. With this, the building lends itself to be a centralized community institution, offering an alternative definition to public building archetypes.

After analyzing the 9km riverside chosen for the competition, we found 5 potential nodes for the further development. For each of those we proposed plans accordingly. During this process I was one of the most active members to determine opportunities and strengths of the given sites and had a key role for developing various ideas and then deciding one of the scenes as the chosen one to go further in detail which was in order to answer the competition needs.

Selected scene is a territory that has the most potential to answer the livability, resiliency and immunity which were the criteria and indicators of competition’s vision.

Scene 5

Scene 1

Small existing local markets are aligned with the riverside, for a long distance they were disconnected, lack of accesibility turned this area to an unsafe place, that’s why designing a functional bridges comes to this scene. By bridging at the turning point of river, users can experience new view of the river.

In this area in past there was pipes of wastewater pouring into the river, so the remain of pipes are still visible and it becamed part of the identity of this place.The lack of pedestrian pathways was toether with water pipes became the initial idea to add an extra edge to the exsisting street to activate the circulation.

Scene 3

Scene 4

Identitty of this scene is related to the macro scale of the neighbourhood and exisiting condition of rain water problems. This small playground for children can be used for collecting rain water. The other aspect was to include unique birds of the city into the design. Thus another elements that is recognizable trough the whole project is places for birds to invite them to come to the city, their previous land.

This area is adjacent to the most visited nodes of the city. The whole territory is priatized by residential houses and some commercial owners. creating an urban plaza became the ppropriate solution for this area. Moreover, adding new possible routes for scooters and pedestrian is considered to reach the main goal.

25

From environmental aspects various factors such as, flooding, rain water management, gray water management are being considered for this area.

The unique types of birds ecieved one of the greatest attention. I studied of bird nests and how to design some elements to invite the birds comming back to their own land and living environment.

Science Park Site Plan

26

Besides what is happening inside the innovation center, it has no meaning and quality unless it becomes in touch with ordinary people. Thus the adjacent units will be rebuilt as platforms to get the people involved with the activities

happening in innovation center. These units will create a viable connection with landscape of the river with greenery.

Small scale of these unit accomodate the possibilities to have small events.

Functions Zoning Diagram This project focuses on the importance of public domain in the city of Lund as a space for encounters.

While Public space is defined in essence as a space that is freely accessible for everyone, Public domain is defined as a place that exchange between various social groups becomes possible, which in this definition meaning of public is not an opposite of private.

Attracting a wide variety of people, facilitating or allowing an exchange between these different groups.

Exchange happens when people experience an alteration of perspective. As there are different group of people involved into the city of Lund, this location has the potential to become the public domain of Lund where students, locals, travelers can experience a place of shared experiences in the city.

Crossings Defining in between spaces according to the sourroundings and creating a node.

Transition Changing the volumes in relation with crossing with sorroundings. street, railway, church and neighbouring buildings.

This project aims to propose a conceivable strategy for design of public domain based on theming , compressing, connecting. the first two focus on the creation of places that can become meaningful to specific group of people. The last one focuses on the way places are related to each other. Through the design process the main strategy was divided in four main aspects: Transitions, Crossings, Connections, and Inbetween spaces.

The study was grounded on the basis of understanding the book “In Search of New Public Domain” written by M.Hajer and A.Reijndrop.

Incremental Housing in Tanzania

Master’s Studio III Lund University, Sweden / Autumn 2020

Housing and People This design proposal aims to bear on the hierarchy of outdoor spaces from verandas and yards on housing plots to the community center for a district level to serve the adjacent informal settlement as well as the new neighbourhood. While residents are gathering in different spots, they might start to talk about everyday life issues. Having opportunities to meet others encourages society to maintain social bonds and improve their quality of life.

In October 2020, the Urban Shelter Design Studio at Lund University conducted its first virtual field studies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 and limitation exposed to traveling, the trip was for the first time running virtually.

The community center serves as a space for the future opportunities ranging from simple events like book clubs to handicraft workshops to larger scale such as decision making for future constructions.

Houses are both a shelter and a source of income. Space for washing clothes outdoors or drying in the backyard with an araised platform for washing and a proper drainage system are essential.

Design for health and sanitary standards are considered important. Having a toilet facility contained in the house has the advantages of guaranteeing convenience of use especially during night. one of the noteworthy disadvantages caused by this is bad odour during water shortages. Thus an extra pit latrine toilet in yard is considered.Ramps make the houses accessible for people with limited physical abilities.

Bachelor’s Design Studio 2 University of Tehran / Winter 2016

Supervisors: Saeed Haghir Individual work

This studio was grounded on Impressionism painting as a method for ideation and conceptualization. We brought our pallets and colours to the site, which has a natural surrounding of Golabdareh park in Northern Tehran. We had to paint how we could imagine this site turning into a cultural centre based on sensing the environment in all five senses. The sunset and the light between the trees were the primary elements in my eyes. I captured the light with orange and the trees with purple. Later we had to transform the initial painting into a design expressing the same concept and feelings.

With its artistic theme and methodology, this studio was different from all other studios I had experienced. Form, geometry, and feeling were in focus rather than functions and technical aspects. The different levels create various frames looking into the cultural centre.

Design concept Inspired by the concept of space time as a physics theory, representing the Einstein general relativity in architectural form came into my mind.

A Forbes article which states that“how our Universe is curved tells us how the matter and energy is going to move through it” made me think about the possibility of reversing the design process to have efficient roof forms shaped from an interaction between different parameters.

Spacetime curvature

Quantum gravity

Falling water drop

Capturing light reflection made from water drops falling from a tap, started to study on the formation of each frames. I came up with the idea of creating surfaces from all this base curves, at first phase by sweeping multiple curves in 2 rails, which led to the base walls axes. The physics of tracing light made it possible to illustrate 3D movements of water on the

66

metal surface into two dimensional images. In second phase I tried to create a magnetic field between different functions to consider complexity of interaction in the sport complex. And at final phase inputs for Z direction were given to the functions area to create final base curves of the roof.

Material Research For Prototyping Choosing the proper material for the 1:100 scaled prototype was based on the challenge of surface formation. 3D printing and hotwire cutting at that moment wasn’t possible for the project.

Came up with the idea to use stainless steel woven wire cloth screen sheet to create the surfaces. In order to fix the formation I saturated it with diluted wood glue several times. Dilution accelerates the drying process. Waste were reused several times.

Stair is typically an element to connect different levels and to facilitate vertical circulation.

However, in “Platform 28” it cannot be defined in its general format as there is no other level. Therefore, it is considered as an exhibited object, a piece of art that is going to be “watched” not used.

Every component was created using isocurves of each surface of the form in a way that hypar forms resemble the steps, and therefore each component is a step.

Components were cut independently with hot wire cutter with the aid of ABB robot 76

A “Bezier” graph initiates the formation of the stair. From a geometrical point of view, a Bezier curve always passes through the first and last control points and lies between the convex hull of the control points. The control points of the Bezier alter parametrically, thus the nucleuscurves are created.
