Description

This project is located in the only industrial area within Tehran. The social fabric of the project is entangled with numerous visible and hidden conflicts .it involves a traditional fabric that advocates for the preservation of the old structure and a younger generation actively engaged in production spaces and factories with different expectations for their working and living environments. Here, the Clash of generations and differences in perspectives and expectations regarding work and life spaces is quite evident.

The industrial sheds have a fixed section with minimal external connections. In fact, a distinct boundary Is drawn between the industrial shed and its surroundings, and the spatial diagram remains unchanged with minimal internal and external connections. In This project, the boundary between inside and outside is fading and the city and factory become interconnected. This design highlights that the spatial diagram, is entirely interactive. here all spaces are active and interconnected, minimizing the distinction between inside and outside, and the project engages in interaction through its own framework.

In this project, a new spatial diagram has been defined, based on human relationships within the space, Using fluidity and transparency. This has led to the creation of a new typology of productive space, where all spaces are actively and effectively connected to each other to reshape social interactions at a different level. This innovation aims to eliminate the sense of purposelessness among the workforce caused by the traditional static and monotonous structure of most warehouses, which lack the capability for internal communication due to their fixed and poorly lit spatial characteristics. This transformation of spatial diagrams and relationships expands the interpretation and personal experience domain, strengthening the sense of belonging to a place.

The static and governing spatial diagram transform into a dynamic and fluid one, completing itself with the presence of full human interaction. Instead of a placing a fixed and static structure in multiple levels, a dialectical space is designed, interconnected from within with floating circulation, suspended and active cores, and defined outer ramps connecting to the city. Movement within the project is entirely visible, and the influence of shadow and the presence of people on the external ramps affect the interior and vice versa. The feedback loop of actions, production, and internal movement also significantly impacts the façade and project ‘s connection to the city.

In our search for answer to both obvious and hidden contradictions in the context, we designed the project from a design perspective to blend the flow of life and activity within the project with the pulse of the city. Through a continuous and dynamic process, user movement from inside to outside and vice versa is facilitated, Connecting the project from street level to the rooftop across different levels. This creates an interconnected space between the factory and the city that becomes meaningful with the presence of the audience. It significantly affects the audience’ s perception, transforming their understanding of the surrounding environment in a way that expands the realm of interpretation and personal experience, strengthening the creation of memories and a sense of belonging to the place. Here, the audience sees themselves as an integral part of the space. In fact, as they pass by building, the audience experiences cognitive and sensory engagement with the space. This space is fully realized with the presence of humans, and the observer continuously alters the building ‘s position in relation to other observers.
