3. Baba-Bastani, the ice-cream shop
A two-storey complex of a successful business and a
residential designed by an Iranian Finland-educated architect
when he was visiting his hometown in the southwest of Iran.
The town itself suffers from lack of direction in urbanism and
architecture whilst you see buildings emerge now and then
based on an eclectic manner.
Nothing else but a bad taste beyond the nonsensical growth
of city façade occurring based on a shift between the role of
design-specialists and general-contractors whose attitudes
are on the subject of “building cheap but more.” This might
be also associated with privatization of construction and
the individualistic and unethical maneuvers of real-estate
agencies throughout the urban developments.
Haji who, is deciding to develop his successful business,
which is a popular ice-cream shop, meets up with his
architect over a coffee asking him something “different” yet
tasty, to be representing a bit of a tradition of the business’
myth. The name of the shop Baba-Bastani (Persian: ـتنیـبابابس)
is an iconic name of a place in the city while, a wide range of
people enjoy not only ice-cream, but also coffee and bakery
and a salad-bar portrayal of the shop.
The new property which new facilities to be built in, is
located in a dense part of a mostly residential and recently
commercialized privileged boulevard.
Believe it or not, in this part of the world, you might not
find many self-sufficient executive teams on the side of
construction. Haji, a perfectionist of his kind, goes around
and chooses maestros of any technique, elders of any field. A
team made up of welder, fabricator, mason, paver, carpenter,
tile-setter, and designer in addition to demolition and debris
removal parties was formed.

5. At the start, to an extreme level, it was assumed for the designer that the design part of the
project−considering the circumstances of the business and the client, knowing the fact that
finances weren’t the issue but the timing and the restrictions applied by planning department−
shouldn’t being seen as a product but a process. Therefore, he, the designer, proceeded and
made decisions of the project in a so-called on-site manner.
It became known, the main problematic of the project went around three matters−one affecting
the other two−which needed to be acknowledged.
One considered the machineries of the ice-cream shop. Baba-Bastani houses at one point ice-
cream-making machines and batch freezer for ice-cream retailing, and at the other point, several
vertical refrigerators and a semi-large walk-in freezer. In addition to mentioned machines, there
is needed room for too many other smaller appliances which to name some, coffee machines,
cream-maker, juicers, and etc.
The second scenario, speaks of the fact that Haji’s family of four, was going to reside in upper
floor. Which the access(es) to that storey needed to be drawn in mind.
And the third item of importance was how to house the very large population of costumers
reminding the very popularity of the shop.
6. To understand the salvations on how settling different
spaces, one may go back and see the machineries of
the shop through. For handling the ice-cream shop
there are two spaces mandatory: one, the kitchen
where customers receive their orders behind its
counters and two, the workshop where all the products
are either made in there or arranged or stored. Hence,
the mentioned spaces are established one above the
other accessing and connected by a through-floor
hydraulic lift and a space-saving diameter spiral
staircase. Besides, all the three-phase machines and
the walk-in freezer are located in the underground
workshop.
8. Doctor Delshad was looking for a designer capable of
putting an end to bad details of his Clinic in which his fame for
laser treatments of any kind, skin rejuvenation, acne treatment,
electrolysis, eye repair, beaute lifting, age repair, and etc. is
celebrated in northern parts of Tehran.
The idea was widening the place where the preferred color to be
white and the desired quality shine. There were too many bad
details to be repaired or hidden while the existing décor replaced
partly.
The clinic itself consists of four units operating at the same time
worth mentioning patient waiting list would hit the end of 2017!

13. A friend’s father’s grave shelter
A friend of mine’s father passed away and this grave-shelter
design was my way of letting him know that my heart is with
him.
The friend loved it and built it only to prove “love knows no
boundaries...
To the date of burial, we had almost a day and half. We
framed it rushed but proud.

15. The very initial idea of the theme for diploma thesis happened to be
the question of whether one as a non-Finnish-educated architecture
student could ‘read’ the Finnish spirit of the existing buildings ̶ old
edifices, regional buildings, and even the contemporary architecture ̶
into the newly designed one. However, according to school’s bureaucracy,
for master’s level theses it could be more appropriate to avoid too much
theoretical and focus on more design-related solutions.
Hence, author decided to challenge the task through a questioned existing context
which to own a certain level of history, change and contingency.
Oulu school of architecture is the only academic unit of Oulu University that didn’t
become a part of Linnanmaa campus and it stayed on its own grounds in the heart of
city center wherein the city blocks host a variety of old stone buildings, few left wooden
buildings and newly-built ones.
Lafka ̶ Oulu school of architecture ̶ consists of, the University oldest building ̶ Vanha koulurakennus,
1884 ̶ five old wooden buildings and Apaja ̶ designed by Auer & Sandås architects based on an open
competition held on 2000 ̶ happened to be a very commendable context (serving characteristics of
its own) for a master’s level diploma thesis.
Accordingly, one may behold the architectural background of this specific context and wonder, how could
it be possible to design a third generation of buildings within this city block considering the act and react of
the ‘old’ and the ‘new’, and the interact of the ‘newer’?
In the beginning, the big idea was to design a new library building for school ̶ which was confronting some
difficulties at the time ̶ but during the months of project evaluation, new decisions were made to have the new
architecture, as a small multifunctional building serving basically whatever is going to be needed since August 2013
̶ Suomen Yliopistokiinteistöt Oy is terminating the lease on school’s old stone building ̶ in which school will be facing a
huge shortages of spaces; mainly studios, working places, and students’ activity rooms.
Along with the concerns on functionality of the context and the new architecture, a big effort has been made to
investigate the ‘image’ influences of the new architecture; not to mention the very valuable existing architectural
dialogue. This procedure included choosing the most suitable place for carving out the new building which to harm less
spatially and defeat the most aesthetically.
Coinciding slightly-deconstructed architectural shapes with usages of traditional building elements, in this design
project, has given this opportunity to the newest generation of architecture of this site, to architecturally communicate
with the same language but a different dialect; a new voice of its own timing with a civil respect to the others.
More importantly, an experimental ‘trial and error’ has been processed to investigate the effects of the different materials
being used in the new structure. The main goal was, to avoid adding more complication into the existing life of this city
block. Transparent colorless highly-detailed materials seemed to be the best solution to accomplish the project with.

19. Bukta is a project I was involved with
Verte landskap-arkitektur AS during spring and
partly summer 2012. The project main focus was
developing Alta (Finnmark Norway) considering
different points of view. Even if the project
was being evaluated by people employed in the
office (both students and experienced landscape
architects) but there were different groups of
people from outside the office communicating
and consuling through various meetings and
symposiums. Here is the final presentation took
place in Alta Kommune.

22. Terwaraitti
Terwaraitti is a property located in Vaala, Oulujärvi beach. Terho, the owner was
looking for any latent ideas to vitalize his business which happened to be renting
cottages and mobile saunas!
The teamwork included developing a concept for tourist industry assigned by
Terwaraitti. Team was operating under facilitation of Demola Oulu and was highly
complimented by the client. This sketch is just a small part of the project and there
existed more activities including producing a business plan and recognizing the
landscape’s potentials.

24. Gentrification
First prize winner
Gentrified: Carving out space for the Homeless after Gentrification
September 2011 Vignette Competition
Advantages and disadvantages of gentrification run no grandness amongst these spatial responses
facing the phenomena. The form language serves to highlight the social condition of proletariat class
of society forced out of property.

25. The very basic idea of this abstract launching
of those two cottages on top of the poles of
windmills comes upon the potential plans on
taking down those two windmills on account
of not being functional. The usage of wind
as the former element of getting those two
windmills functioned is being thought while
in the new situation, the wind gets to blown
through the cottages and its function can be
memorized by any means.

26. The site is situated in one of the most traditional parts of Isfahan city
neighboured with Shah-Abbas Mosque and Naghsh-e-Jahan Square. The
neighborhood is an important historical site and one of UNESCO’s World
Heritage Sites. The project had been assigned as my Bachelor thesis and
the big idea was to revitalize the area by means of re-functioning, restoring,
and re-engaging a variety of vibrant short term and long term strategies.

LETTER
OF
RECOMMENDATION
Mr.
Sepehr
Hosseini
(born
on
21-‐09-‐1986)
is
an
Iranian
student
from
Shahrekord
University.
He
has
been
studying
during
the
past
two
years
in
Finland
at
the
University
of
Oulu,
Department
of
Architecture,
and
he
will
be
finishing
and
presenting
his
Master´s
Thesis
on
May
21st
,
2013.
His
tutor
on
this
thesis
has
been
professor
Rainer
Mahlamäki.
Mr.
Hosseini
has
a
strong
interest
in
going
on
his
studies
towards
the
doctoral
thesis.
His
research
interest
moves
in
the
domain
where
contemporary
architecture
encounters
existing
urban
context
and
responds
to
the
social
and
political
changes
of
our
time.
He
has
been
active
in
the
course
of
Research
and
Theory,
mainly
aimed
for
doctoral
students,
and
he
has
an
ability
to
engage
in
analytic
discussions
of
the
meaning
and
essence
of
architecture,
its
theories
and
practices.
During
the
spring
2012
he
wrote
an
excellent
article
titled
“Contemporary
Architecture
or
Temporarily
Architectural?
A
short
study
on
architecture
of
last
three
decades”
in
which
“the
attempt
has
been
made
to
look
at
contemporary
architecture
from
different
angles:
impediments,
approaches,
accomplishments,
envisions
and
prospects.
After
contemplating
the
current
state
of
architects
concerning
the
last
few
decades,
one
may
acknowledge
the
persona
of
„architect‟
has
been
degraded.
Can
architects
alter
the
situation?
Does
any
„end‟
for
architecture
and
its
architect-‐on
their
own
terms-‐latently
exist?”
These
are
big
questions
and
by
going
on
with
his
studies
he
most
certainly
can
find
answers
to
them.
As
a
student
Sepehr
Hosseini
is
hardworking,
independent
in
his
thinking
and
reflections.
It
is
a
pleasure
for
me
to
recommend
Mr.
Hosseini,
soon
a
Master
of
Science
(Arch.)
from
the
University
of
Oulu,
for
any
Doctoral
Programme
in
architecture
or
urban
planning,
in
