Projects Timeline
MANUSCRIPT MUSEUM
"In design studio III individuals were supposed to design a conceptual museum which was defined personally. The site of the project is a 1200 square-meter parcel located between two significant museums in Tehran (contemporary art and carpet museum). This museum is considered to be a treasure of historical literature of Iranian philosophy."
The formal concept of the museum stems from a philosophical methodology of interpreting manuscripts, which is called the hermeneutical spiral. Through this method/form, the reader/user passed a spiral path from first grasp/glimpse to deeper understanding of the book/museum.
TEDJARAT BANK REVITALIZATION
2017
Tedjarat historic bank in the center of Tehran is the first bank designed and built in1930s. The Primary three-story building had a basilica form.
In recent decades, many unprincipled changes in installation and facilities caused the bank could not be utilized appropriately and as a consequence, it became gradually useless.
In 2010, Emarat-Khorshid Company become responsible to revitalize the bank. After 7 years, when

“It is my honor to say that, I was the one who was invited to be in charge of modeling such elaborate building. ”
SKYWALKER PARK
2018
“My first landscape project in master's degree was planning a four-hectare city park beside a highway in Saadat-Abad, Tehran. To me, this project was an opportunity that helped me to have a real and practical perception of topology.”
In the beginning, students personally defined some ordinary activities supposed to be replaced in the site. With regarding level difference, the best points for each activity were anticipated, and subsequently, pathways between them were drawn.
Limitations in determining the best points for proposed activities led to demand for topology analysis. It made the way to find approximate even surfaces. This was unachievable unless the topology of the site was modeled.
Concerning ecology, the semi-dried climate of Tehran has been taken into account to choose an appropriately wide range of trees and plants. The finishing material of flooring in this project are not only used as decoration, but they are means for zoning. In other words, different stones, wood, etc. play important roles in the definition of borders in the built environment.
