Concept

The Common Gardens of Gandhi urban renovation project has received acclamation as 3rd place in the competition held by the Renovation Organization of Tehran with the intent to develop a pathway that could link two highly active and important areas in Tehran.
This project has a close connection to the neighboring green areas and tends to set an expandable design principle based on the concept of a “Micro Garden” to retrieve the street from cars and give it back to the citizens.
The site is located on the east side of District 6 of Tehran with an East-West view corridor. The position of Vali-Asr Street, the main historical urban spine of the city on the West side, and Abbas Abad green lands on the East side of the project and the vital role of the connection axis in-between, which was seen in the masterplan of Tehran, and finally the occasional visual openings towards the Alborz mountains in the North, forms a unique situation for this project. What we are facing today is recognizing the site as an urban destination rather than a connection path from Vali-Asr to the Abbas Abad lands.
The project has a close connection to the neighboring green areas (Vali-e-Asr Street and the Abbas Abad hills) and tends to set an expandable design principle based on the concept of a “Micro Garden” to retrieve the street from cars and give it back to the citizens.
