Darya Shopping Center

Darya Shopping Center

Location: Tehran, Iran

Status: Concept

Year: 2013

As a reflection of the current site condition and analysis, I came up with a very unique urban inspirational design concept. The architectural design concept replicates the traffic movement path, and as a result may also refer to dynamism. a parametric brick components added to the middle stories to give a unique expression to its urban surrounding. The whole shopping complex would thereby eventually become integrated into the fabric of the city. One of the main concept of the project was to give an identity towards the upper floor by separate them from the ground floor so they find their own value. a huge entrance ramp was added to the building in order to make the idea happen and by giving the other 3 levels the brick pattern, the visitors will be more interested to visit the upper floors. the 6th floor and the roof are food courts with roof gardens and open space terraces.
