CASE STUDY
Because in this small building , it was the living room that made the heart of the space and into a place for events . Therefore we built a big arch with a span of 7 meters . The arch extends from the south side and our | IWAN | and faces the main courtyard , creating a new sitting room on the roof level from the north side .
After that , we decided to build a similar alternative in the heart of the courtyard and establish a strong connection with the surrounding nature with the path we created between these two arches . It is here that the IWAN , which has always been open from one side to the outside , opens on both sides and stands on the border between the modern pergola and the old archetype KOOSHK . Between that big arch , | IWAN |, and the small arch , | KOOSHK |, we also put a pool that is attached to the conjunction that spreads its freshness and coolness between them .
Another thing we considered was to somehow add a | game | element to the space . The | swing | is one of the most ancient games in IRAN . An uplifting game that has been mentioned in the poetry of many Persian poets to date . The presence of bricks and dealing with the details and symbols of past architecture is such that it is not an exact recreation of the past , but it shows off its original roots . Also , in order to increase the effect of our time on the details , we have mixed the light with the arch ; Luminous bricks that sit layer by layer on the brick fabric of the arches and spread a gentle light on the space .
