The complexities and difficulties of the modern world, the constant immersion of man into the routine of modernity and his limited opportunities, have made him pay more attention to his past and possessions.Therefore, symbolism can be considered as a bridge to achieve collective memory; and by associating collective memory with new symbols, a pleasant and unified feeling can be created.
In the first step of the design process, the designer has sought simplification and association with collective memory of Iranians. Inspired by Kish Cisterns, the designer has created a pure and symbolic volume in a way that each person with different experiences can associate with it as a uniform image. The simplicity of the volumes and the iconic form of the project has a lasting effect on mind after experiencing the space; which is an important factor in attracting tourists and audiences to this project.
In the second step, the designer has created a diverse and multifaceted view and has controlled the sunlight by stylizing and expanding the volumes in different directions. Placing public services in the atrium has facilitated public access. Additionally, by defining tropical gardens in the lobby area and creating skylight and visual continuity with the sky, a pleasant atmosphere and a unique experience has been created for the guests. Finally, by using the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio Spiral, with a base modulus of 4.32 meters, and continuing these proportions in three dimensions in the building, the designer has tried to create visual appeal and increase efficiency and function in the project. The Fibonacci Spiral and the Golden Ratio Spiral represent perfect harmony and the most attractive proportion in almost all things. The beauty of this sequence is that it is related to nature and it appears in micro to macro scales; like chromosomes, human body proportion, plants, shells and galaxies.
Vertical elements surrounding the central atrium are associated with the form and diagram of the Kish Cistern, located in historic city of Harireh without direct reference.
