The modern facades of the Karimkhan of the 50s are generally composed of vertical, horizontal, or rhythmic structures and openings. One of the main features of the present age is the speed of data exchange and, consequently, the acceleration of the movement of contemporary urban life. By adding color to the combination we’ve tried to add some flavor to this fact and make this speed of life more fun. The images are an attempt to apply these energy lines derived from the concept of movement and speed in the city over the network of facets. In the next step, mathematical series contemplation was an attempt to create more regular forms using mathematical formulas. This method, while providing the shape of the energy of street movements, makes it possible to accurately calculate the levels of openings and panel sizes and in the negative the colors will be placed. The final formula inspired by the Fibonacci series is a mathematical sequence that measures the height and distance of each vertical row of panels in relation to the previous vertical row. The facade is a combination of aluminum panels and colored glasses. behind the glasses a LED light is hidden which will lighten the outer edge of the glass pieces at night. Because of the building's name “Banafsh” (means Purple) The color’s range from Red to Blue mainely with the purple shade.
