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.

SLUMS IN TRANSITION:MEGA-STRUCTURE AS THE NEW LAND

In this project, while aiming to interfere with the existing congested and unplanned construction, I also aimed that this intervention would not disrupt the lifestyles of the people living there, and that cultural changes would be kept to a minimum. So, I tried to include cultural aspects of this community in spatial design.

SUICHI

Suichi is a city of futuristic ocean buildings made from 3D-printed plastic waste from the Pacific which extend 300 meters below the water's surface. The project imagines a series of dome marines that would sustain the crustacean form of life. This newly invented urbanization is entirely self sufficient and energy efficient.
