Vertical zoning explores how designers can layer residential, commercial, agricultural, and social spaces within a single structure or site. This approach addresses density constraints and land scarcity by organizing programs along the vertical axis rather than spreading them horizontally.

The community examines strategies for weaving together housing, workspaces, food production, and public amenities in stacked configurations. Projects range from vertical farms and mixed-use towers to hillside interventions that carve multiple functions into sloped terrain.

VERTI-PARK

The design of VERTI-PARK intervenes the combination the three important facets the New Yorkers ask for; Parking, Sports and Green Spaces. Thus VERTI-PARK provides a combination of activities where every New Yorker can park his car and also come to enjoy the sports, sit or walk in the greens and lead a healthy life style.

VERTICAL CONNECTION

The project is based on combining social life with green environment and ensuring its continuity in vertical as a mixed-use vertical architecture proposal that houses University and residential functions. This fiction involves design decisions on associating different blocks in the vertical and creating social spaces.

Unity with nature

The idea of the concept is "Unity with nature" by maximizing green areas. The creation of different types of connections and the ability to use parts of the territory autonomously make possible to respond to a pandemic situation. All together with the principles of sustainable development make possible to create a comfortable and safe living environment.

01

The main idea of the project is binary system. The concept is based on the structure of binary code. There are only 0 and 1: 1 - filled structure (residential), 0 - void structure (non-residential). Thanks to the use of the algorithm, the concept uses combinations of modules that form a competent structure of the complex.

Step town

: In this project, by combining two diagrams of ziggurat and caravanserai, we sought to create a diagram and form that, in addition to independence and high security, has a central open space for the interaction and activity of the residents of the complex.

Weaved city

"Our lifestyle isn't fixed, so why should our spaces be?" Weaved City brings a creative layer of personalization between the people and their dwellings through an innovative form of flexibility. The proposed housing aims to accommodate changing patterns of tenancy that aren't anticipated at the time of its construction.

غوټه- The Knot

The غوټه is designed in such a way that it intentionally separates the identity of the widows from everyone that lives outside the center. It is like the center is proclaiming, “Only the ones that reside within me will be intimate with my secrets.” It upgrades the value of its war-torn widows by sharing with them the experience of life within the center.
