Unfinished Labyrinth
The project is located in the Zafaranieh neighborhood of Tehran and in the Palladium complex. The usual rules in commercial complexes, designed with specific boundaries and predetermined limitations, usually make the team look at technical issues twice and forcefully. In such circumstances, if the rules and limitations change its direction and process, the result is undoubtedly not very thoughtful, but if the critical look and process is at the existing conditions, this process is to create a more bold thinking and look at the existing conditions.
And since this project is in a category of projects and such projects follow some written and even unforeseen rules, and of course it is designed and implemented for this process that it is less likely to encounter technical problems that require that everything that has happened in the past is done and sometimes this project is implemented until the end of the stage. Knowing most of the points of the past layers that we do not start work on the ceiling, floor and walls.
The project in the plan wants to stop a curious kind of literature with its environment and audience and after the corridor voluntarily takes the audience into a space where they experience the environment between solid layers of concrete and metal. In a scenario that is displayed from a section, this is much different. In the section, the solid layers, by separating from the plan, only bear the name of solidity, and vice versa, what happens in the plan finds all the curiosity closed to finding the path that finds the closed curiosity, in the stage of display, it sees the movement and flow in the place of the bridge backwards. Still, that curious spirit that happens to know the environment in the plan still persists in the section in another form. They have divided the spaces into three layers, open, half-open and closed, and although in passing between the layers, most of the act of ignoring is being performed. The layers form the character in a loose and completely suspended relationship with the plan, and this permanent discontinuous space forms endless scenarios in the space.
The project materials are selected with priority for their originality, concrete and metal, and for the floor covering, considering the level of functionality in the restaurant environment, we were forced to use a material such as ceramic. By creating harmony in color, texture, size and proportions of the material, it is possible to achieve a visually coherent composition. The concrete material was transferred to the workshop in the form of prefabricated panels and was installed entirely on site with dry connection. The metal partitions, due to the type of connection and cut (half and half), were able to remain stable with minimal connection and statically next to each other, the metals were placed in their raw form and with a stabilizing paint coating to prevent rust. Ceramic floor is a way to do this so that we can use the floor and springs of the metal partition.
