In the Name of the Mere Unknown

Mankind… the noblest creature… the talker animal… the thoughtful brain

Who analyses everything around him, analyses, theorizes. He hypothesizes. He proves a theory. He understands everything, he thinks he understands everything. He thinks he is a mankind because he thinks.

A Cube, a Rectangular Cube

Look at him afar… What do you see?! A pendant cube in the air, being pendant between the earth and the sky, being pendant between physics and ultra. His tendency to flight is eternal, permanent. Though, terrestrial attractions attract him such that the flight of the soul has been legend for him.

He can culminate more than angels but what a profit from the attractions which have crucified his heavenly wings and pull him from every side.

With an external layer, a white cortex. A face, a small face which has decorated itself with various notions, diverse thoughts.

This is a project sent to us by one of our loyal reader Vahid Rafie Nia. He tends to be a regular sending over his projects for your delight. This project has won the 3rd place in a country level competition for the Islamic Azad University.

Design With Nature

In hot, humid areas trying to shut out the unpleasant weather does not work well.

Electricity for fans or air conditioning is unreliable and condensation from humidity causes more problems than the heat. Opening to the breezes is much more effective. Peoples of hot, humid regions can define buildings as roofs with spaces blending from indoors to out through screens instead of walls, allowing breezes in.

Domplatz Linz – project description from the architects

The impressive neo-gothic Mariendom cathedral of Linz is clearly opposed by the unfinished Domplatz square, that had never been completed in accordance to the original idea to free up the entire quadrangle between the surrounding streets. This heterogeneous situation was unsatisfactory from the point of view of urban planning and was to be resolved by means of a competition, which also included the construction of a hotel and an underground car park as well as the revitalization of two existing baroque buildings.

By including the surrounding streets and by means of the solitary positioning of the new hotel a link to the heart of the city is created – a place at the square.
