FRAMEWORK
This is a building that works as a frame for self-assembled flats.It uses the inhabitants creativity within the set architectural frame, spiced up by fresh plants straight from the next-door aquaponics garden (greenery planted in fish tank). The flats are modular which makes them affordable and allows the owner to control the cost.
The Wall
Our project proposes an alternative approach towards skyscrapers; we hope to uplift the city, especially the Karun river, and purify the air of Ahvaz. Our project has the potential to become an icon by creating a diverse way of living and a connection with older city icons. Housing, environment, and social interactions are the main focuses of our design.
You have dealt with the climate problems in Ahvaz city in an excellent and creative way, and using the city map and texture as a vertical element is really smart.

A very good proposal. It keeps a perfect balance between preexisting respect and forward-thinking. the authors made a powerful analysis of the metabolism of the Eixample district nowadays. It assumes the goals of the competition (increasing density, for example) in a realistic way, feasable and equilibrate. there is also an interesting reflecction on how to "fulfill" the street spaces once the cars disappear. the proposal is very well explained, very clear and seductive. the drawings explain very well the concept, the ideas and the implementations, with nice axonometries.
A deep analysis and great infographics. Proposal respectful with the existing. I would only add that having a good synthesis capacity is important to transmit the clarest ideas... sometimes it was too complex to understand. Also, I would have appreciated seeing a more visual (more realistic perharps) photography of the impact of the proposal in the city.
What we talk about when we talk about Architecture? Do we talk about innovation, social behavior, nature, growth, time, change, sustainability, weather, citizenship, atmosphere, water, adaptability, welfare, environment…?. This project….yes.
