Architecture produce opportunity to experiment, the prosperous architecture
provide the framework for exploration in order to provoke thinkers to think and
arise question with the goal of betterment of solution. This project explores the
possibility of creating architecture with one of the most common minerals on
earth: salt.

SALT IN ARCHITECTURE
POTENTIAL IN THE HAZARDS
The Salton Sea, in California’s Imperial Valley, is currently an economical and ecological disaster.
The salt content has increased as the lake shrinks. Over the next 70 years more than half
of the sea will disappear revealing a salt flat basin. This project explores the possibility of
creating architecture with one of the most common minerals on earth: Salt

Early Investigations
Lots of the logic really did came out of the
context, either materiality or programmatical-
ly. To establish the distributed network system
as a building system, I applied “Voronoi” di-
agram, it creates a unique structural system.
Due to the fluctuating land and the flood history this place have had during
the last decades, I decided to lift up the deck to the tree like columns, so the
landscape remains as pure as it is. The tree-like columns are in the location of
the attraction point of each voronoi.
The structural system holds the integrity, the entire building system works as
one network. Each units recalls the crystalline form of salt and is randomly
rotated and aggregated to create a larger structure where all tiles in the
structure are unique.

8. With a focus on Salton Sea amorphous future, depressed economy and
eco-discord lands with all the incongruity of the treasured values and
the complicated difficulties, I would like to provide adaptive architecture,
concerned with the construction and deformation processes which is em-
bedded in salton fluctuating land. Defined by investigations through local
material and structure, affluence of salt, as a result the architecture will be
produced which is associated with art of the construction atten-dant with
the presence of noteworthy of land and time.

10. FLANDRAU SCIENCE CENTER, AZ

Located at the heart of the University of Arizona campus the Flandrau Science
Center & Planetarium explores our universe from earth to space and everything
in-between, bringing science alive for young and life-long learners alike. [1]
The massing strategy started with studding the activeness of the adjacencies.
The site is adjacent to E University Blvd in south and Cherry St in West. University
Blvd is one of the most eventful street in the cam-pus, linking campus mall to
the student union and leading to the Old main. Cherry is the second active
adjacent street. Accordingly, more public programming are located in south
and semipublic in west. As we get to the north-east corner of the site the pro-
gramming gets more private, the result of the activeness vs silence is not just
about the programming , but also it has affected on building form and fa-
cade, serve a highly social function in the face which is adjacent to the mall.
Each level is designed as two half stories connected with two vertical circu-
lation core in west and east, which contain a passenger elevator, a freight
elevator, emergency stairs, electrical rooms and mechanical shafts. Two un-
derground levels provide parking facilities and mechanical room.

Design Strategy
Exhibition function as a joint, connect-
ing all the programming together. The
main building circulation is through a
main exhibition ramp which Creates
maximum interaction between ac-
tivities in the building, highlighted by
continual c ramp and voids. The voids
enhances the spatial experience,
creates clear orientation through the
building. The effect of the dynamic
flow which is provided by ramps and
galleries in different level is found both
inside and outside. This concept en-
ables stretched diagonal visual and
physical links and creates a dynamic,
flexible movement through spaces. By
going up each 5 ft. high through the
ramp, it connects to circular galleries
which are held in different height. The
column are located in the center of
each gallery, the radius of the central
exhibition slabs are no more than 10 ft.
which is the maximum length the 1.6
ft. concrete column can hold.

13. At the same time, the double skin façade prevents direct
sunlight from entering the building, ensuring a cooler en-
vironment. The horizontal blades with the support of the
cables provide substantially adequate shading. When
there is no need of the sun, the cables get thicker and
closer and when there is more need of sun they get far
apart. This practical façade provides aesthetic pattern
not just on the façade, but also as art of shadows inside
the building. When getting inside, the cables becomes
the structure of the ramps and the blades becomes the
vitrine of the exhibition. This approach provided the vi-
sionary connection inside an outside the building, basi-
cally it feels like that the façade has been pulled inside
the buildings, circulating in and out.

14. The proposal is meant to serve the whole neighborhood by connecting them
not just by the water front but also by providing them with a plaza in the mid-
dle of two residential communities. The facilities include swimming pool recre-
ation center, library and information center. All the streets edges provides retail
spaces. The parking is underground.

Since the site locates in the 100 year flood plan, the precast concrete walls not
just act as a structure, but they are in the direction of the provided slope, 30 %
. For the Sustainable strategy , there is gutter system align with each wall, the
walls lead water to the gutter system. The amount of absorb water will be re-
used for the vegetation and the rest will be turned back to the canal.

17. Residential units have been provided by the axis of the street
and blocks, the design is modular base and the language
of the both residential masses are the same. The plaza acts
as the connector of two residential neighbors on each side
and then acts as the path for the neighbors to the water
front. The folded plate path connects the project in different
levels, providing the unique experience throughout the
project toward the canal in different heights. The active fluid
path creates new spaces by reflecting new geometry which
provides totally different experience and break the ordering
system of residential requires.

The main concern of the project is the ease of access
among different parts of the building such as the main
lobby, workshop, classrooms, library recreation center,
sensorium and etc. The nature of community for dis-
abled requires the importance of accessible circulation
which passes through all the spaces effortlessly. After
reconsidering the community for disabled I decided to
design the circulations paths which providing a grid sys-
tem of circulation. In the voids between the grid systems
provide a wider visual communication add ore to the
dynamisms of the space. There was an existing structure
for two floors building. The structure kept as is and reno-
vated to be an office for the community.

21. You’re walking. And you don’t always realize it,
but you’re always falling.
With each step you fall forward slightly.
And then catch yourself from falling.
Over and over, you’re falling.
And then catching yourself from falling.
And this is how you can be walking and falling at
the same time.

This project is my final project from my undergraduate study in Azad University
of Iran; the project is about an art community center which is adjacent to the
most popular park in Tehran, Laleh Park. In northern and southern sections of
the site, two different museums exist, The Museum of Contemporary Art and
the Museum of Persian Carpet. Consequently I decided to connect these two
popular buildings by an art community center in between that includes a the-
ater, galleries and workshops. The goal is to provide a popular art community,
to hold all the gatherings and workshops at the edge of Laleh Park .

The range of housing options in the proposed Sulphur Dell development allow
for affordability that does not sacrifice economic viability. Waterfront real-es-
tate with proximity to areas of civic interest typically present higher rents and
draw residents of greater income and economic stability. Sulphur Dell ac-
knowledges this known but provides a community whose social health is not a
resource that may be distributed based on income, but one that may be em-
braced by the community as a whole through distinct neighborhood centers.
Phase 1 and 2 development acknowledge the present unorganized develop-
ment, and provides the literal waterfront “stage” and place of recreation to
draw residents from downtown as well as surrounding neighborhoods to create
a region that embraces diversity and cultivates a pride of place. The existing
condominiums are removed to create a riverfront Park that serves as an iconic
neighborhood center connecting to Public Square Park and the surrounding
downtown district. Phase 3 construction acknowledges the creation of the
new minor-league stadium with coinciding retail, office, and housing options
that create retail corridors supported by a range of multi-family spaces. All of
these elements create a healthy neighborhood community that provides eco-
nomic choice, while encouraging concentrated growth. (In this competition
we worked in team of five students including architects, landscape architect,
urban planning and business Students. I held a leader position in the group)

SITE ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL
29. FINANCIAL STRATEGY
1) More resources are allocated on higher income generating type of building such as for
rent housing compared to for sale ones.
2) Create a campaign for the local to fund the development of public areas such as park
by the river and music amphitheater through tax credit deduction. This not only cut some
cost down, it also allow up to develop the park at an earlier phase to attract residence and
to increase the land appraisal.
3) Retention and expansion of existing hospital helps attracts high end residence such as
doctors and nurses to occupy the market-rate residence. Close proximity to the hotel will
also help occupy the hotel with visitors and for long term treatments.
4) For existing condominiums that we purchase, we recommended moving the owners
to the new affordable
apartments instead of paying for compensation. This help us save of the margin that we
make from building and selling the apartments.
