ArtExpo Center

Project idea

As per the site’s plan, the walls of the structure are raised.
The walls come in an unjagged, soft form with curvatures.
Part of the site is dedicated to the passage of the crowd and also to control and handle the possible traffic in the area due to a large number of people visiting the gallery.
Laleh Park is considered to be the central point of the area. In order to utalize the parks greenery and view, we create a wide passageway from the park to the central point of the building.
We have designed a curvature in the south side of the building to control the light emitting from the south and also to benefit from the greenery of the park even more.
Parks greenery span to the top of the structure in a staircase manner.
We have placed niches on each side of the main street, to be both welcoming and also to have space for door placement.
And eventually, the greenery of the park spans to the roof of the building. Some openings are installed on the walls to let in more light. These openings are in place to establish a connection with outdoors and to make use of the view of Laleh park and the greenery on the edges of the building.
