A
museum is not strictly limited to the cultural activities,
but is considered as the cultural
index reflecting the dignity of design and
architecture. Buildings that once belonged to the
privileged classes and cultural experts are now
competing for attracting public attention and their driving
force is generated from within and outside the arts. In
general, the cultural spaces of the past two decades can be
divided into three types based on the institute philosophy and
designer formal trends: The first type has tendency to neutrality
which in fact is the background for representing the art works. The
second type has tendency to adjust itself according to the art
experiences while it assumes the role of an intermediary. And
the third type is inclined toward separation while keeping its
coordination i.e. its presence in the background is the same as the art
presence. Each of these
three general approaches shows a bias toward
the nature of art and reflects different views about the art and its
relationship with the audience. Among the mentioned principles, the
first type is most relevant to the topic of the      Iranian clothing museum
because all the projects undertaken in relation to
the museum have focused on the background of the design Metopes
of the Achaemenian clothing. All internal and external elements
of the museum are somehow reminiscent of the Achaemenian
clothing lines and arrangements. Various common principles between the
clothing design and architecture works makes it easier to connect these
two artistic designs and ultimately, the result of this match is the
creation of the artistic works in a larger scale as the Iranian Clothing
Museum.

The
main concept of the project
In the
Persian dress period classification, all of the periods can be divided     into broad classes as pre- and post-Islam
periods which the formeris the focus of my dissertation studies and in
this period I specifically studied the Achaemenian
era. Accordingly, the main concept used in the design of
this project is derived from artistic (metopes) of
Achaemenian clothing. (Metopes) which are clearly observed in
the structure of the Achaemenian clothing and comprise the total
structure of clothing in this period are Achaemenian two piece
(Kandises) with upper trunk (Copy Race or tonic) and lower trunk
(skirt). This division is clearly observable from structural division of
designed atmosphere in the museum.


The (Kandis) has a two-piece structure that
the arrangement is obvious in the Achaemenian
clothing division and eventually in the museum atmosphere.

Galleries

Galleries are
categorized in terms of male and female clothing into
two main sections: men’s wear gallery on the
left and women’s wear gallery on the right side of the main
entrance.
The access
to the galleries is possible through inside of the lobby through
which visitors can directly enter into the gallery space. Inside of
each of the main galleries, there are some sub-galleries that their arrangement
starts with jewelry and aesthetic covers of the Achaemenian
period and ends with the Achaemenian clothing.
However, this review can be reversed, but in this case
the starting point is from the first floor.

The Main Gallery (men's and women's clothing) is
composed of six parts which are as follows:
-
Aesthetic jewelry gallery
-
Aesthetic covers gallery
-
Headdress
gallery
-
Shoes Gallery
-
Fighting
covers gallery
-
The
Achaemenian main clothing gallery

The museum's main entrance gates in the entrance and outlet
of the museum have been inspired from the sleeve
of this dress. Meanwhile this   entrance creates a strong sense of inviting
for museum visitors due to its atmosphere openness. Regarding the lower
trunk of the dress, it can   be said that there are
numerous similarities between the volume of the
two main galleries of the museum which
are completely symmetrical on both sides of the
museum’s building and the Achaemenian skirt.

Movement systems
If
you start moving into the galleries from
the lobby’s interior entrance, this move will be ascendant.
Transitional movement of visitors within the museum is via ramps
and stairs in such a way that it directs the visitors from the interior part of
the gallery toward the sub-galleries and then to the upper floor. Finally,
with a short pause in the first floor lobby, visitors are
directed to the gallery of women clothes. This
motion is a downward motion. Of course it is worth mentioning
that the starting point may be from the gallery of women
clothing which in this case, the motion is reversed.

Materials

The museum
exterior constructional materials (masonry) gives a modern look to the external
space of the museum and using new technologies and photo voltage cells in the
museum’s ceiling, it takes steps towards the use of new energy
which based on the estimates these cells produce 30% of the electricity power
required for the entire museum site. The specific cover in parts of the
museum’s walls and roof is glass. The spider design has been used for the
museum’s exterior view and in order to avoid a direct sunlight into the galleries,
the fully adjustable mechanical movable radiation sealing has been
applied. The final cover of the radiation sealing’s blades is made of
stainless steel that is adjusted with respect to the angle of solar radiation
using an electrical engine. Finally, the iron profiles of the galleries’
ceiling windows are covered with aluminum coating which are visible as expose
structures.

Museum of the future

Undoubtedly,
the future prospects and the positive and negative effects of a project on any
community are considered in all of the great architectural designs before and
during the design process. They all influence on the   project implementation
process. Similarly, in this project, the overall conclusions are derived
with regard to many of these parameters. The
Achaemenian Clothing Museum in not only a specific museum
to exhibit clothing habits in the Achaemenian era but also it
creates a series of sub-spaces as extraordinary places for
retelling the local clothing identity of the Achaemenian era
which results in a correct understanding about history of the Iranian
clothing. Exhibition and seminars are some steps toward the rearrangement
of the Achaemenian clothing and the Achaemenian clothing fashion venues provide
a new look to the fashion industry and the Achaemenian clothing. This
makes the fashion industry investors attracted to design the era specific
clothing.

The internal
and external spaces of the museum can provide particular places for public
interaction between visitors, designers, interested persons and investors in
the large and important industry of clothing. The result of this
interaction is the Iranian-style clothing with full Iranian identity at the
community level.
