Whit the city; Against the context

The city of Ilam in Iran is one of the rare cities where the most of its buildings are constructed with 100% density regardless of paying attention to emit porous and open air spaces .

The way of shaping the city and people’s conventions  (in the case of privacy)  brought about emitting an incongruous space. Thus, this project, instead of selecting between  object -oriented dialogue and field-oriented, attempts to allow the project to be built between the tension of both of them. The project is an alien which is trying to acknowledge and share its dominant idea as a single identity architecture and influences the city’s aspect.

The project is an apartment associated with a family and our concentration was on emitting semi- open spaces, activating them and emitting privacy to be instilled in the deepest part of microspaces. Each of these microspaces is playing a role as a habitant which is correlated with itself and other microspaces in the building.

To respond to the mentioned concerns, we created two shells so the open spaces are forming their active and habitable role between these shells. The project have capacity to respond to the concerns by these ways:

• Capability of physical covering of the parts of open-spaces with the purpose of exiting from observation of context dense.
• Using the theory of shadow sensory error to decrease the concentration from observation of context to indoor spaces and it brought about a capacity which enabled us to use big windows with the least requirement for covering them.
• The open-spaces also are looking for changing the patterns of behavior between residents in the hours of a day and persuade them to be in these spaces rather than indoor spaces, besides, with a joyful observation, reduce the cooling and heating loads.
• Controlling the intensity of sunlight and winter winds leads to decrease the cooling and heating loads.
