about

i have recently finished my studies in interior architecture and design ba(hons) at london metropolitan university.

i very much enjoyed studying interior architecture particularly because of its multi-faceted aspects dealing with completely different areas such as the design process, the history of architecture, photography, ideas generation, team-work as well as the regulatory and practical aspects such as the riba plan of work and the building regulations to name a few; all of them calling for high levels of accuracy, hard work and persistency.

as with most deigners it would be simply impossible to show everything i have made and created in this document; although i must admit that this mini portfolio does indeed give me the chance to express my taste and approach towards design in a few pages.

Ark Tower2015

book house is a late victorian building for which the construction was completed back in 1888. ever since the building has been serving different puposes until recent-ly functioning as the offices for wandsworth disctrict board of works. prior to the existing building the current site used to be a wasteland. the original architect of the building ‘william newton dunn’ was one of the first to use reinforced concrete (beton armée) in england.

the building is located in a conservation area however it is not listed. it is currently being redeveloped by the malins group into a number of luxury residential apartments (2015).

more space on its current site for a

new learning centre.

The number of Children’s libraries in London that can offer both the children and their parents the space to play, learn and socialise is close to none. CCL is trying to address this by offering all the above to kids and parents. The recently gentrified east London was chosen as a suitable site for this.

itectu

reUntil into my mid teenage years I lived in Iran where architecture goes back at least 7000 years. Since I was very young my father would take me on trips and encourage me to take photographs with his clunky Canon camera. With this in my mind wherever I go I am always visually and emotionally aware of the built environement, its history, usability as well as its aesthetics.

I take great pleasure in finding inspiration in different places, resources, events and people.

sketching

probably the most effective method for conveying ideas, i value and enjoy sketching and endeavour to practice and improve my existing skills. generally i use sketching in a number of different ways -- whether it be to create an initial idea or a concept or be it something completely abstract which can later turn into a fine concept using my various cad techniques/skills.
