Kerman Museum Building

Islamic Azad University of Tabriz

Project idea

The idea is inspired of traditional structures named Kapar, which suits to the harsh weather conditions of the area.

Project description

The main building is pulled up to +8 meters level and covered by a second outer shell, consisted of some opaque photovoltaic panels which collect the sun's energy and also transform their shape regarding the sun's light orientation.

Technical information

Creating green terraces, Low-E glasses and transformable outer shell, contributes the moderation climate process of the interior spaces. Also, the topography-based shape of the ground floor's restaurant and amphitheater helps to create a natural environment in this level, regardless of the artificial form of the main inner building.
