Gandi Walkaway Design Competition Principal architect: Diba group Chief Architect: Leila Araghian, Alireza Behzadi Design Team: Zahra Zare We only had a short time to finish this competition, so we worked together from dawn to dusk. As a result, I am involved in every aspect of the proces June.2021
Scenarios & Actions
Not only this walkway has to refine the whole path, but also it should contain both Vali'asr St and AbasAbad lands characteristics. The passage improvement must include high quality for pedestrians, cyclists, and disables while narrating a movement story, starting from either side of the walkway. Based on the regular three acts structure of the movie and music, the design concept has focused on three critical points of the site along the walkway. By starting the journey from the Vali'asr side of the walkway, a story begins. Connection of these two significant urban landmarks would be the birth of a unique walkway with especial identities, leading to maintain and develop pedestrian life quality. Converting the identity of the Vali'asr St-by Gandhi walkway-to the AbasAbad lands one and joining them in the Nelson Mandela Bridge is like a film scenario, comprising three structural components: Beginning, Encountering, and End.
How can Vali'asr St (the most historic and significant street of Iran) be connected to the AbasAbad lands (the most highlight public green space of Tehran, Iran), creating a recreative walkway?

A city is more than the sum of its inhabitants. It has the power to generate a surplus of amenity, which is one reason why people like to live in communities rather than in isolation. (Gordon Cullen)

Diagram combining the characteristics of Valiasr Street and Abbasabad lands Introducing the characteristics of Valiasr Street, including: nightlife, historical urban identity, and pedestrian axis along the route and combining it with the values of Abbasabad lands, including greenery, collective cultural space, and recreation and entertainment space. Spring
Apart from the identity, conceptual and aesthetic issues, the physical structure of the route is also important in terms of functionality and application, which unfortunately has been neglected in the design of our city these days.
The project should focus on resolving only relevant functional issues, including: solving slopes, ramps and stairs, access and intersections, surface water collection, lighting, safety and security, compliance with urban design standards.
Children’s Sidewalk
Pedestrian Walkway
Also to quality issues such as flexibility of spaces, attention to the needs of users with disabilities, the elderly, and children, the use of technology to facilitate the presence of people with disabilities in the design, sustainability issues (waste separation), bike path (pollution reduction) Indigenous plants, restoration of environmental quality, respect for civil rights should be paid full and special attention, and in their design, all international standards defined for the urban design of pedestrian axes in the world should be implemented. This type of approach has emerged with the help of design tools such as materials, colors, textures, spatial arrangement, marking, design of elements, and furniture, considering the feasibility and economic efficiency.

Location
Isfahan, as one of the most historical and original cities of Iran, has a treasure trove of buildings with historical architecture from the golden period of art history and architecture of this border and region, so that every year a large population from around the world, come to see there. This project is of special importance in the following ways: -Its location is in a strategic site that is the main point of connection of this city with the world. -Its location is next to the main meeting hall of Isfahan In general, the construction of a building in Isfahan with the historical background mentioned above naturally requires special attention to the past architectural identity of the city.

Concept(bazaar) Isfahan Old Bazaar, which is one of the most significant elements of the identity of this city, in terms of architecture and urban planning. Considering the function of the Chamber of Commerce, in this plan, the concept of the bazaar has been considered the main concept of the plan to create a contemporary narrative of the old body and function. The bazaar is a long and winding path that connects different and important functions in its place and includes a movement path that accommodates various spaces. The important point in Isfahan bazaar is that in none of them The exterior did not show itself so that the facade was a simple surface without decorations or was resolved in a way between the urban fabric and the surrounding networks that basically the surface was not seen as the main view of the bazaar. External simplicity and internal complexity have always been prominent features of the past architecture of this area. In this plan, an attempt has been made to use this surprise, which is possible only with external simplicity. Bathroom charsoogh

Porch pattern Another point that is important in this design is the eight-pointed star, which is created by placing the ramps connecting the floors in the plan. This geometry consists of two intersecting squares, which create an octagon in the middle and an eight-pointed star in the environment. It is slow and one of the most colorful patterns of traditional Iranian architecture. In other words, this game with geometry allows the user to discover the hidden order in this concept.

Facade The final coating material is in two shells and on the glass that forms the main surface, concrete tiles are used in a parametric way so that in the north, where the light is desirable, their density is less and in the west, where the sun is intense,With more density, these tiles prevent entering too much daylight.In addition, the design chosen for these levels is largely in harmony with the conference building as well as with the patterns of traditional Iranian architecture.

In this plan, the building is functionally divided into two main parts, public and private. This feature makes it possible to create the desired quality for the event during public events on the ground floor by connecting it to the surrounding.
On this central courtyard, a fabric structure with the same pattern of eight-pointed stars with designs of Iranian patterns has been designed, which casts a shadow on the this space, in different seasons. This fabric structure reminds the patterns, which used to be temporarily installed during ceremonies in iran, also has a similar shape to the current logo of the Chamber of Commerce.

Concept Isfahan is one of the main cities of Iran with many mines of valuable and beautiful building stones. In this concept, an attempt has been made to take the main concept of the design from large pieces of stone. Initial idea
Stone
Visual communication with the conference hall In this project, the height restrictions defined by the municipality are less considered and efforts are made to design the building of the Chamber of Commerce in such a way that it can be seen in level and with the literature of the International Conference Center.Although the existence of sharp-angled lines seems to contradict the circular lines of the Conference Center, but this contradiction presents the independent identity of the Chamber of Commerce as a landmark and independent structure. In addition, the selected angles and openings in the design have made it possible to create different cones of view to the building of the Conference Center in different directions, so that by creating frames of vision and revealing the view of the Conference building after hiding it not only does not diminish its value, but adds to its importance.

Facade Regarding the external volume of the Chamber of Commerce building, despite the selection of relatively smooth and ingot-like surfaces, the final coating materials are in two shells and on the glass that forms the main surface, concrete tiles which are parametrically designed, similar to the shell of the main building of the meeting hall. In such a way that in the north, where the light and brightness are desirable and soft, their density is less, and in the west and southwest, where the sun is more intense, with more density, these tiles prevent excessive sunlight from entering.

Functional and communication diagram
Office interior design In the entrances and public parts of the building, an attempt has been made to create open spaces with greater grandeur and the use of more decorative elements, which is a contemporary narrative of Isfahan’s past architectural decorations. Also, with the use of voids in these spaces, with the arrival of daylight, the spaces become more desirable. Regarding offices, since the Employees spend many hours during the day in these spaces, organizational colors of the Chamber of Commerce and acoustic materials to absorb sound and maintain silence have been used. At the same time, we can use decorations that are somewhat abstract but still reminiscent of the architecture and art of Isfahan.
Section A-A
Spatial architecture
The main architectural feature of this project, which can be distinguished from other buildings to some extent in an intangible way, is the contradiction between inside and outside, And when people enter it,they are faced with a world of spatial complexity, visual connections between floors and spaces,which makes the building misterious and invite the user to explore spaces.
Functional design concept
In this plan, an attempt has been made to divide the building into two main parts, which one part functionally accommodate public uses such as meeting halls, exhibitions, meeting spaces and etc.While the other part go for private uses such as office spaces, dispute resolution councils and etc. This feature allows both sections to have separate access and security, in this way control and separate two group of people during different public and international events in the public part of the building will be easy.

Concept Shopping Centers, or malls, are the typical destination for the usual hangouts. More than being merely shopping centers, as they started out to be, now they have become complete entertainment centers with restaurants, cafés, movie theaters, arcade games, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and many other enjoyment venues. Shopping malls have become very common nowadays and to stand out, they need to present something different, which could be unprecedented facilities and services or unique architecture. The most remarkable part of the shopping mall is the atrium which usually doubles as a vast meeting point. A well-designed atrium adds to the grandiose of the experience and to the enjoyment of the mall visitors.
