ELM
The activities and aspirations of a university—teaching, learning, research, and discovery—are embodied in a single Persian word: Elm (علم), meaning knowledge.
Chosen as the conceptual foundation of the project, Elm becomes both language and form. The Persian calligraphy of the word is transformed into an inhabitable structure, where subtle distortions and flowing curves evolve into a gateway that bridges the space between the building and the surrounding landscape, creating a distinctive urban landmark.
Positioned at the entrance to the library, the sculpture invites visitors to pass physically through the word knowledge before entering a place dedicated to its pursuit. In doing so, knowledge is not merely contained within the building—it becomes the threshold itself.
Occupying the intersection of architecture and sculpture, the project was conceived as neither a conventional building element nor a standalone artwork. Its development was made possible through a close collaboration between architect and sculptor, and was realized in partnership with the Iranian sculptor Mohammad reza Amoozad, whose artistic expertise helped translate the conceptual vision into a unified spatial form.
