The challenge of art for art or for artists has a great weight in the architecture in terms of the stakeholders who lead the project economy. The leadership of the client’s mind and the exertion to extricate his mind out of a retrospective paradigm even gets more challenging when there is an expanded organization of employer system, which have a separate determinative vote in designing. Therefore, an architect should equip himself or herself with rationalism, economy, and the function to defend his or her idea in front of the contrary notions. Finally, the architect could put the artistic right and the demands of the employer in a mass and announce it as architecture.
The headquarter of the Pasargad-Insurance building is an example of the successful dialogue between a designing group and the employer’s supervisory system on the texture of time and the municipality’s permissions and entitlements. The idea of presenting the elaborated drawing even before the execution caused that the layers of climate, energy, architecture, structure, mechanical and electrical imprinted on each other several times and the decision-making took place in advance. This subject led the team to resolve the probable issues and seek answers to the defined client’s goals. Therefore, the design team became responsible for answering those kinds of problems.
The necessity of the maximum opening in the façade in terms of observing the Derak mountain scenery and letting the light outshine the inside of the building and in addition, the demonstration of dynamic lives behind the curtain wall were created by the clear fix and flexible glass partitions. To prevent the side effects of the climate issue, the sun energy glasses were placed on the façade that could improve the efficiency of energy-saving.
By predicting the future development of the organization in terms of facts in the next ten years, the design provided an expanded platform, which will be able to endure the further changes. Categorizing the spaces provide an opportunity to reduce the individual congestion on the floors that could be measured by the distance of the entrance. The green spaces are provided on each floor and in combination with the other usage, helps to promote the intrinsic attribute of space. The variety of functions has been entrusted to a designed space at different times such as dividable classroom, and waiting area that could convert to a dining room or a restroom.
Generally, the headquarter of the Pasargad-insurance building is depicting the technical and architectural answers to issues like texture, rules, demands of the employer, and budget that are far from the illusive theoretical bias.
