Design Ideas
ABOUT ME I am Persian and I am passionate about geometry and solidness in Architecture. I have done my first year of degree overseas. I transfered to University of Melbourne last year.I am familiar with Autocad but I have never used Rihno. This is my first experience with Digital Architecture and I am excited to learn new approaches.My other passions are sculpture and photography . I like many architectural styles.However My favorit architects are Mario Botta and Gaodi.What I like about Mario Botta’s Architecture is the idea of geometry, usage of brick and the arrangemnt of hallow colomns as part of main structural system. I extremly admire his approach in using stair cases, as one his main principals in designing builidng. Gaodi is my favorit Spanish architect. The Gothic approach in his buildings is unique. The structural system that he uses is modified very well.
1. PROFILE | PAST PROJECTS
The breif required four main spaces. Indiginouse place, a clonlisation , displacement and contemperorly culture space. My design concept for this centre was “ hidden stories” that exists between Indiginous and clonial people. I designed the clonial spaces under the ground. I arranged the underground spcae in a way that visitor may not have any clue about the underground spcae. The other major concept of my design was to fit within the landscape. Adapting with the environemnt, is one of the prinicipals in Indigiounse culture. In order to cut less tree I located the building in the areas that has minimum chance of cutting trees . The centre is mainly included of two underground spacses and two elevated spcaes. The elevated spaces represent the Indiginous spaces while the under ground spacses represent the Clonial culture. All these four main areas are connected through a corridor wich symbolise the reconcileation of Indiginous and Clonial culture.
MARIO BOTTA . SANTA MARIA CHURCH Saint Maria has a unique architectural style. The reason is, this builing was designed in modern time but it seems as a Roman architecture. It has a picturesque view to the landscape. Botta mixes the principals of Italian architecture with creative approch. The innovative way of allocating the starir case at the view point of building. locating stairs generates the sencse of movement for the visitor.
The long arch compostioned with the staircases to emphsis the sculptural sense of the building.
This is a view from the space under the massive arch.Great feeling of solidness in Botta’s Architecture

ARCHIECTURAL DISCOURSE
There are many debates on archiectural discourse. Depending on different diciplines , “ discourse” may refer to different nothins.
As Ramply claim(2005),Architecture is the most public of art.It is capable on a daily basis for anyone living in an urban society” .As human beings, architecture has great impact on our daily life. Theporportion of rooms, colors and sunlight acccess may extremly afffects us. In Ancient times architectuure was used to imposethe certain feeling to the vistor. For instance in E gypt, massive structureswere built ot indicate the power of Ferros. In modern time, complexity of technology and domination of industralisation , has changed the role of architecture . “ For Frampton, golbal capitalism has such power that its generic shopping mall, petrol stations , motorways,skyscrapers and speulative housing have utterly swamped the business of architecture. Archiecture is not to be found in theses things; quite the reverse : it is the business of resisting them. Ramply(2005). Digital architecture is a new approach in desiging building. This type of archiecture seems to be more efficient in the industry. with computer modeling and differnt plug in any kind of complex architecture is posssible. For instance the unfinished part of the church,design by Gaudi is now under constrcution.It is with the aid of digital architecture that many complex issuse in architecture will be solved.
