About Discussions Projects13 Journals14 Publications4

Curtain walls are non-structural outer layers applied to building frames, serving as weather barriers while enabling design expression. They can be constructed from glass, metal, textiles, or other materials and are fundamental to contemporary architecture.

The community explores curtain walls across residential, commercial, and cultural projects, examining how perforated metal screens, textile wrapping, and material-driven facades shape both building performance and visual identity.

Nano Nest 2.0

"Living space must be designed to meet the changing needs of human beings." Considering that it shows the flexibility of long term thinking in the process of architectural design, in this project, the living space is designed based on the principle of "fixed but variable" and in the form of Iranian geometry with the participation of residents.

Hide n Seek (Prima Facie)

The project is inspired by the historical criticism around the Velasca but can accomodate all the contemporary hot topics; the narrative unfolds over 24 hours linking the day and night layouts of the building. The new facade is covered externally with a mirroring film which makes the Velasca disappear depending on the panel's layout and the hour of the day.

The Black Taj - The Unbuilt Legend

Black Taj Mahal was built on a legend, about love passion and spirituality. The idea was to preserve beauty of the legend existing in the imagination of passers. To give people a hint instead of pure picture. To provoke their imagination. To give them the unique experience through the forest of curtains that serves as a filter on the perfect image of Taj.

REINCARNATION OF RUINS

Through an architectural intervention, the project aims to understand and appreciate the history and qualities of the ruined mill and integrate these qualities into the atmosphere of the new space, binding the old and the new together and at the same time, retaining the character of the ruin.

IN BETWEEN WALLS

The project aims to create a hidden underground 'in between' space along the existing park. It creates a barrier with the highway with a solid wall, while creating a permeability in between the current historical remains and the proposed underground hidden space, which makes the 'in between' space a living section.
