The Memory of Garden Apartment

The project was designed and constructed on Qasr o Dasht Street in Shiraz, Iran. This street is known as a green and pleasant neighborhood due to its proximity to Qasr al-Dasht gardens. Due to the increase of construction in these old green areas, a significant portion of the vegetation has been destroyed. In the northwest of the building, there is an alley with a 6 meters width, which is the only access of the project to the neighborhood. This only access hinders the visibility of the project. Therefore, this situation emphasizes the importance of the building entrance. Navid Atrvash There are old trees in front of the project located on the border between the alley and the northwest facade. One of our primary concerns was the connec... Más

10 commercial buildings with striking metal cladding facades

One of the most versatile and robust structural materials to come out of the industrial age, metal is inarguably a prerequisite for the 21st century. However, metal is no more just a structural aspect; it also has visual appeal owing to the magnificently evolved use of metal in architecture as an exterior cladding material.   Additionally, the most preferred material for cladding modern architecture is metal. It has a futuristic appearance, can be fashioned into any desired shape, and acts as a shield against adverse weather.    Commercial buildings feature metal facades because of their imposing nature and durability.
