3. • The building is located in Pardis Technology Park in
Tehran suburb.
• The propose building is located in 1300 square meters
lot with 3 open sides
• In spite of being small building but numerous
parameters has made the project complex.
• The design approach focused on an interaction
between technology, site, function and landscape. To
connect the spaces, the building is organized in a
pyramidal form, with offices located in upper levels
and workhouses located in a transparent enclosure on
the lower levels
KEY POINTS:
4. • In meantime for affording connectivity of spaces the proposed physical diagram to
organize buildings elements is pyramid form that is working by dividing the whole
program to horizontal levels which are well connected vertically by transparent
lift that provide entity of the building so Offices will locate in upper levels and
workhouses are basically located in lower level with transparent enclosure in
entrance of building that gives visitor’s chance of being aware of company
production.
CONNECTIVITY:
5. PASSIVE TECHNIQUES
USED IN BUILDING
• With considerations toward continuity of site
views, heat control, renewable energy use and
water collection, the form was generated.
Through the angular shape, skyline and
landscape continuity is preserved, and the
angled roof is ideal for solar panels.
The inclined roof is voided throughout to create a single path from ground
to roof. This helps light lower-level terraces indirectly and promotes
passive cooling. Each terrace serves a different purpose; the upper ones
are gathering places for visitors, and the lower ones are relaxation areas for
employees.
6. • A double-skin facade with an internal surface of photochromic glass, helps allow in
natural light while controlling heat gain. A gridded facade aids this, with the size
of the grid changing size according to orientation – on the west-face, the facade
allows less light in, while the north allows more, and the south controls its
exposure to promote a green roof.
7. The volume is drawn out of the ground, to save skyline and landscape
continuity of whole site, with 30 degree slop that is optimum angle for
solar panels in this region which are going to be installed on its green
roof. Its specific form provide triangle corner in north side of volume
that inspired designers for having entrance there, which motivate
people to enter the building.
The peak points made during
design process are as below:
SITE VIEW CONTINUITY
HEAT CONTROL
WATER COLLECTION
RENEWABLE ENERGY USES
8. TRANSPARENT FACADES
• In designing facades transparency is key points as
it is believed for having more active circumstance
in offices, should provide transparency and take
more natural light inside with consideration the
climate of the site; specific design will be needed to
control mass of heat gaining. Consequently a glass
volume with double skin facades is designed with
internal surface of photochromic glass and
lightweight material flat sheets in outer layer
which are cuts in the shape of perpendicular cubic
grids.
9. • On the other hand for preventing from undesired west-light, this
grid has changed in size to ease light more than other sides. North
side has conducted pleasant amount of light in and in South side
of the building has enough light exposure that is adequate for
green roof.
