The Green Pause

Project idea

The cultural multi-purpose complex centered on the book interacts with the calm and green courtyards, the courtyards that are a representation of the courtyards of Iranian houses along with the paths of water movement through the plots, the paths of water movement in the nati reach larger openings and They form the ponds and at these points the reflection of the building in the water can be seen.

Project description

a new definition of the garden takes place and follows the same sacred geometry of the Iranian garden. Lives that are intertwined like taropudi. The traditional and familiar geometric form of the Iranian garden has been modernized in combination with the courtyards of historical Iranian houses to create a play with levels at different levels of the space, separated from the noise of the surrounding residential context and crowded streets, and a mysterious place to gather and Provide presence. A space that is a metaphor for the yard. Positive and negative spaces in combination with movement paths are the basis of the work, and semi-closed spaces with porous and permeable walls have formed a place for dynamic events and the flow of life. Simplicity at the same time complexity and complexity at the same time simplicity has continued the principle of unity in different levels of space. The flow of water extends along the central axis of the yard, bypasses the spaces and reaches the single landmark tree at the entrance of the site and covers it. The coexistence of a single tree and a ring of water is a manifestation of immortality. The courtyards in the middle bring the light from the sky to the ground and the canvas materials suitable for the climate of Shiraz throughout the space, from the entrance to the basement, the volumes and all the levels that make up the space, have completed the integrity, continuity and unity of the design. The walls on the side of the sidewalk, which form the bodies of the collection, induce a sense of invitation in the viewer.

Technical information

The project site is an abandoned space of 3,800 square meters in the gardens of Shiraz. Only 20% of the built space is designed as a multi-purpose space for children to play and for adults to socialize due to the location of the trees on the site in the maze of trees. The fluid form of this book garden was created based on respect for the existing trees in such a way that the architecture of the space moves towards respect for nature. Independent but coherent, soft and quiet spaces find their way through the trees and in combination with the middle courtyards provide a pleasant space in the shade of the trees for presence and interaction.
Red brick, as a native material and appropriate to the identity, integrates the design in a way that moves the eye in the space, to ignore the diversity and cohesion in the whole space, and is reminiscent of a style of Iranian architecture that has been associated with He has been a human being and it makes him pause and conveys meaning from his character.
