oribstudio as Architects

INSPIRATION
The entrance gate is inspired by the nature of the entrances in traditional Iranian architecture, which has been updated with a modern approach, in addition, since the use and activities of the complex are related to science and technology, the details and geometry of the arches are It is designed to evoke the path of electrons around the nucleus, especially when the dynamic lighting is activated at night.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The study process of the project started with the question posed by the employer, whether the entrance can be an element of identity while defining the entrance and providing the required spaces so that it becomes a sign of the organization and activities at the province and country level. Therefore, the definition of the project has gone far beyond the definition of an entry, so that the formalistic aspect of the project could become particularly important.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION
The entrance part (project) is adjacent to a boulevard and a walking path (called Salamat Road) that goes to the heights. Also, due to the quality of the air and the wide views, many people use this path for group and individual walks at different times of the day and night. They choose. During further investigations about the project site, we found out that the walking path that is located near the entrance is a dynamic flow of people's movement that can be involved in the design process, so the entrance can play the role of a node and sign .
