RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Disintegration of the majority of today’s buildings and their context has brought about issues such as confusion, inconsistency, identity crisis, lack of imageability and non-desirability. Lack or absolute absence of taking the context into consideration is baldly evident in urban planning and design of modern-day’s cities and architectural works. This issue is particularly binding in Iran, where it has resulted in overall similarity in the urban landscape, and is posing a threat to the potential and actual capacities of the context. As an approach based on the connection of the phenomena to their surrounding context, contextualism can bring about imageability and a sense of place. Contextualized architecture creates a pleasant atmosphere, and moving beyond a single-structure scale, plays a decisive role in the urban ambience which covers a wide span from demonstrating an innovative physical framework to simulating the community spirit
CHALLENGE:
the difficult part of the design was to adapt and think to respect the context , had to choose the right materials, low cost and easy to assemble on site.
