KHIJ SOCIAL CORES

Enghelab-e Eslami Technical College

Project idea

In general, this project was designed after the discovery of a new revolution in a village, which was carried out by women, and according to the current sensitive situation in Iran, and the project will greatly contribute to the jump of this revolution.

Summary of the concept

I am looking to discover a social revolution and a new urban model.
Women make half of a country’s population and establish one of its
main pillars. No one is to deny women’s share in the social
developments.
In this project, I tried to restore the lost social relations of people in a
village.
It was the culture of the men and women from the same clan, who used
to work together in peace and security.
A brave woman named “Khadijeh” from Kalateh Khij Village, who
indeed lived as a true example of revolution that I have in mind. She
faced a lot of oppositions (especially male group) who are against rural
women working out; while in the past and up to present time, a major
part of rural economic cycle has been supported and worked by women.
The above-mentioned lady, together with a number of her friends (all
women) started restoring and repairing historical parts of their village;
and while making money from such revived sites, they saved an almost
broken village.
To reach my objective, i.e. empathy between people, I needed to
consider their wish, or their ambition as the most unique desire of every
person.
It was the common wish of these people that I used as a drive to build up
dynamics and insight in creating a new urban texture.
In shaping my new urban texture (somewhere beyond historical
context), the old model and tribal life style played a significant role.

Project description

From the designer's point of view, by placing a model derived from the old existing model in the village, we can help both the beautiful revolution that has taken place and save the village from poverty.
