Embrace: The Cosmic Bond and Identity in Architecture
The Abumusi Residential Complex is designed around fundamental concepts of identity creation and the relationship between place and culture. The concept of "Mother" in this project is not merely about geographical affiliation, but represents a cultural and historical connection between the island and the core of Iran. It defines an identity that binds the island to the Iranian mainland, transcending the mere notion of geographic boundaries. The design, like an open embrace, envelops the island, symbolizing its unity with Iran, where geographical boundaries transform into cultural and social ones.
This concept is reflected not only in the overall form of the building but also in the architectural details, where organic, repeating, and continuous forms create a “motherly shell” that wraps the interior space, evoking feelings of safety and belonging to the land for its inhabitants.
Sustainability Approaches: Redefining Human-Environment Interactions
In this project, sustainability is understood in a deeper context—not merely as environmental preservation but as a social process that emphasizes harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment. The use of renewable energy systems, such as solar panels and rain water collection, goes beyond simply reducing energy consumption; it acts as a direct dialogue between architecture and nature. Each component of the design specifically responds to the ecological needs of the island while also addressing social and economic functions.
Social sustainability in this context involves creating spaces that foster community well-being, strengthening social bonds, and encouraging collective participation. Public and semi-public spaces have been designed to facilitate interaction while enhancing social cohesion. These spaces can be seen as "suspended spaces," allowing individuals to distance themselves from the crowd yet remain connected, bridging private and public spheres.
Parametric Approach: From Organic Forms to Dynamic Interaction with the Environment
Parametric design, as a new language of dialogue between form and function, is used in this project to produce a harmonious relationship with the environment. The organic, fluid forms, inspired by the nature and climate of the region, have been modeled to adapt to environmental needs while optimizing space usage. This process, driven by complex parametric algorithms, not only maximizes the functionality of spaces but also creates a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
The forms continuously evolve, establishing an ongoing dialogue between the interior and exterior, and between the residents and the surrounding environment. In this way, the design becomes a living entity, constantly in interaction with climate and environmental conditions.
Health Approach: Architecture as a Tool for Enhancing Life Quality
This project takes a holistic approach to health, considering not only physical well-being but also mental health and social well-being. The design incorporates natural lighting, cross-ventilation, and the use of non-toxic, organic materials, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable living environment.
Spaces within the complex are designed not just to meet basic living requirements but to improve residents’ psychological and social well-being. Public spaces, acting as communal gathering points, encourage positive social interaction, fostering a sense of community and improving overall quality of life.
Conclusion: The Unity of Concepts in a Sustainable and Harmonious Project
The Abumusi Residential Complex is not just an architectural project but a social and environmental process in which sustainability, identity, and health are intricately interwoven. The design represents a dialogue between culture and climate, humans and nature, materializing as a space where the bond between humans and their land is manifest in architectural form. The project seeks to create spaces that not only provide for physical needs but also strengthen social ties, celebrate cultural identity, and establish a deep connection between people and the land.
