Today, work is so closely tied to human life that the fate of a person can be considered the same as the fate of his/her work, and the future of work can be considered the future of man. Architecture, as a container for life, can greatly affect the process and way of working by improving or decreasing suitable conditions. In recent years, due to the coronavirus epidemic, there have been changes in the way of work and income that cannot be denied. Many jobs were done remotely and office work in many guilds gave way to work at home. This issue tied the work environment and the home to each other and blurred the border between the two. On the other hand, with the recent economic recession and retrenchment due to the coronavirus epidemic, many people from the cities came to Tehran to participate in start-ups and earn money through their work with the help of acceleration centers. The problem that these people face is the cost of accommodation in Tehran and other big cities. The cost of providing an office and accommodation in big cities is so high that these people lose the chance to be in big start-up centers.
Considering the mentioned concerns and also the need to create a desire to return to the pre-corona era and to be in society to strengthen and restore the lost social relations, this thesis has designed an innovative space that is suitable for all of these and Provides optimal solutions to problems.

By twisting its walls through the trees, the building takes on a personality and embraces the place, as if a conscious element radiates through the place and spreads to the city.
Building as an Object Building as a Subject
Creating hollow courtyards in contrast with solid walls and scattering them in other parts of the site.
Breaking walls and orient them among the trees of the site.
Converting the mass from a solid volume to a solid and dense wall.
Turning a part of the eastern thick wall to form the entrance of the complex. Out
Breaking and moving the mass and placing it among the trees on the site.
Considering the bulky cubic mass in the non-vegetated part of the site.
Connecting thick masses with the middle space by stairs (Volumetric combination of line, plane and solid mass)

Why do they have shovels & picks?
The restoration guys? They are working on a new traditional structure Cool ! let’s go see what they are doing.
I am a programmer.Today is my first time here. I am meeting a friend.
It would be nice if one of the graphics and content production guys come and make a video of our work process
Oh, I met one of them at the billiard table yesterday. I will call him now.
By the way, we ended up playing like this, which part are you in?
Today is the event. All disciplines gather and bring up a challenge, we build teams and think of new methods.
I met my guys last year in this event and we got a good project after that. So come, I’l be waiting.

Behind Isfahan is a city...
Although the cities of Iran are different in terms of the urban context, weather, and climate; all of them are under the shadow of a similar incident and Isfahan is not exempt from this story.
A similar event reflects on all buildings in the form of unnecessary, dirty, and non-architectural elements. Giant billboards, temporary notices, advertising stickers, electric wires, impenetrable fences, and even trees that have grown out of place in front of buildings, separating them from the city.
In the cities of Iran, the impact of this “non-architectural” layer is so strong that we feel the feeling of “being in Iran” in the first step, from the experience of this layer. This is so important that a building without this cover is as if it belongs to another country and culture. But if we remove this layer from our buildings, what is left? What is the identity of Iranian cities and our architecture behind this “non-architectural” layer? And can this layer of pop culture become a means to define a new architecture?
Unfortunately, our eyes are used to this additional coating and we consider it an integral part of our architecture. Before seeing a window on the street, we see rusted fences in front of it, and before seeing a wall, a giant cooler welded to the wall in an iron cage. In this current situation, how can we remind our people what architecture is and make them aware of the existence of this layer?
“The friend’s house” is a collage of the current state of Iranian cities; Buildings hidden behind a mask. This time,
we have removed the mask and in different views, we have pointed out the reality that is eating up the cities of Iran day by day. A reality that left nothing but countless signs and the sound of car horns from our cities. “The friend’s house” is formed from the space between two different types of facades. The first type of facade tries to remind people what a “window” is by purely using “architectural elements”. What is a “door” and how to find beauty in the components that are often hidden behind the dirty layer of cities? The second type of facade, on the other hand, follows a “non-architectural” aesthetic. An aesthetic that has many doubts about its beautiful nature. An intensified state of the reality of Iranian cities, which this time is recognized on a white sheet and with a self-reliant character.
Behind Isfahan is a city, and this house is a boat to reach it!
(Referring to the famous poem of Sohrab Sepehri, Behind the Seas is a city…)

In the charter for the UCLA Sustainability Committee, sustainability is defined as: “the integration of environmental health, social equity and economic vitality in order to create thriving, healthy, diverse and resilient communities for this generation and generations to come.
Sustainable school design prioritizes the health and wellbeing of students and faculty members by incorporating progressive building practices to protect both building occupants and the environment. Also known as high-performance schools, these facilities go above and beyond being constructed from recycled materials.
The project aims at rethinking teaching and learning environments in a sustainable way. By creating an alternative to the often very dense and air-conditioned school buildings that are predominant in cold climates the students are encouraged to stay and learn as much outside as inside.
Multiple scenarios have been concidered to encourage the students and the teachers to coexist and cooperate in the best way. all these scenarios have been visualised in this project for the further stydies.

Nowadays, want it or not, we have found ourselves in a hierarchical society. No matter what the reason is, people are involved in a range of cultural and economic gaps, which are getting bigger and bigger every day.
Hence, in this project, we tried to design a residential region in the urban era that can provide a plausible environment for its residents to contact and communicate with each other without considering their level of education or wealth. This project aims to juxtapose these various people and mix their living units to decrease the amount of this gap.
To show how this can be done, we have designed one of the blocks entirely. different types of units designed
for the different cultures and different family types are settled next to each other to enhance the social connection between these groups. in addition, there are many public and semi-public yards in every corner of the complex to promote these connections and relationships.

Nowadays we live in a world where our living and working environments are filled with a variety of tools and furniture made from natural resources such as stones. Unfortunately, we know natural resources as a means of creating a work of art or manufacturing tools and furniture; although, each of them is a work of art by itself.
“Essence” is a manifesto to show and honor the essence of the stone itself; the precious stones contain a whole universe of creation and charm. It also seeks to demonstrate the vast variety of Persian stones.
The base plate is a section with a diameter of 460mm from the map of Iran. It is a combination of wood (for the topography) and glass (for the lakes).
This work of art is a tiny collection of the most famous Persian stones. 18 stone spheres with a diameter of 40mm are arranged on the map in such a way that each of them is placed in the area where its mine is located. The whole combination is spectacular to watch; the audience can pick up the stones and sense their texture up close.
To create anew what we feel is missing...
