| DESIGN NAME: Dolatabad Garden PRIMARY FUNCTION: Necklace and Earrings INSPIRATION: The Dolatabad Garden of Yazd, which was built about 260 years ago and was built at the end of the Afsharid period, is a type of gardens-state-owned gardens. To provide its water, an aqueduct (called Qanat or Kariz in Farsi) was built 65 km long from Mehriz to Dolat Abad. From different aspects like geometry, tree diversity, irrigation system, architecture and decoration its among the most prominent examples of "Iranian Garden", which has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Hashti' ceiling (main entrance section) from the interior section of the garden has fantastic Karbandi which designed and made by master architect Ali Akbar Akhundi. Karbandi created by Iranian architects when covering a polygon plan by dome was desired. This art, which has rich variety of designs and historic background in Iranian architecture and decoration, is a glorious image of applied geometry and has been used as design inspiration. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Simplicity as the most priority in design process made the object obviously easy and daily use. The exclusive design and uniqueness bring more pleasure and satisfaction. With such rich cultural background of object, the audience feels much more confidant and tries to acquire deeper realisation of his/her cultural achievements, current advantages and weaknesses at the same time. Emotionally point of view, these subjective challenges lead to a hidden bond between audience and article; it contributes vaster connection, which does not make sense by ordinary accessories or jewelries. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The Project Started in July 2014 and finished in January 2018 in Tehran, Iran and is not exhibited before the A' design Award Competition. |

CHALLENGE: Through designing process of Wearable Architecture collection it was tried to make the pieces easy as much as possible not only to simplify delivering the main idea of design but also considering not complicated making process and keeping the industrial ability of production which make the collection definitely accessible to all who are interested in. Commitment and loyalty to the main artworks that were the inspiration resource of the collection was another challenging aspect of the design process while transformation an urban scale structure to a jewellery function and scale desired.
