A Small Pharmacy in the Heart of a Busy Street in Rasht This project involved the design and execution of a 30-square-meter pharmacy, in a space previously used as an eyewear shop, where the existing spatial divisions were not compatible with the new requirements. The limited ceiling height and strict regulations of the Food and Drug Administration posed some of the main design challenges. Pelak Studio Pelak Studio The pharmacy is located on one of the busiest streets of Rasht, lined with doctors’ offices, medical clinics, and numerous pharmacies. Within this context—where visual clutter threatens the identity of small buildings—the central design question emerged: how can one establish a clear and distinctive... More

Dehsar Villa is located in the rural context of the Astaneh–Kiashahr axis on a 279 m² plot with a limited frontage of 9 m. This constraint was treated from the outset as a generative diagram rather than a mere limitation. The conceptual idea draws on the archetypal image of “home” — the gabled roof familiar from children’s drawings as a universal sign of dwelling. In this project, the house is not a cliché form but a text for re-reading the meaning of living in today’s context. Method Office The spatial organisation is based on a clear public/private duality: ·         Front section: a one-and-a-half storey commercial/office space opening to the road and loca... More

The 10th episode of the ArchiTALKS leads us to know and deepen the long design, theoretical and experimental activity of the architect and designer Andrea Branzi, one of the fathers of modern design and of the Radical movement, who through this lesson leads us to the roots of an original and independent vision.   The lesson begins with an account of Branzi's childhood, his family and his hometown, Florence. The city on the Arno is a very fertile human territory for the architect's education in terms of influences, references, creative and political experiences. Indeed, within this framework, the Radical movement came to existence, of which Andrea Branzi is one of the protagonists, as founder of the Archizoom Associati group, together... More

Text description provided by the architects. The Safari Residential Project is located at the southeast of Shiraz, one of the oldest part of the city. Today, the attention of the architects in the city is more focused on the wealthy areas and there is a lack of innovative projects in such poor areas. The site context’s situation is in decline, and architecture is being oblivious, which has affected the city fabric structure and visual aspect of the region. To this end, the initial perspective on the creation of this project is a slight attempt to revive the recession situation of the design site.The idea of the design was based on creating a connecting and reliant element on all floors. This central element, which is in the inner shell of t... More
