UNDER CONSTRUCTION… In this project, Client aimed to convert 4 attached flats into one large clinic. Two of these flats were already working as a clinic and the renovation process had to divide in three phase which allows ongoing services of the main clinic. The design process started with preparing main space for the dental […]

Pattern exploration for a dental clinic renovation. collaboration with Kalout studio. Pattern exploration from Ghazal Refalian on Vimeo.
These days we are working on the renovation of Navvab dental clinic. Clients are interested in a dynamic modern design which at the same time avoids chaos in the clinic. This is where we are going:
OTF invites:
The IAAC program Open Thesis Fabrication 2017-18 (OTF) proposes to design and construct 1:1 architectural elements that take advantage of the latest computational tools, additive manufacturing process and the great thermodynamic properties of adobe to achieve passive performative system for a bioclimatic architecture. (check the Program here) OTF – OPEN THESIS FABRICATION FIRST PHASE FINAL PRESENTATIONS The IAAC program Open Thesis Fabrication 2017-18 […]
The wall challenge Walls is the occasion to print thin surfaces and explore the relationship between the geometry and the structural behaviour in adobe printing. When addressing structural properties in 3d printing, one should consider two main aspects: the structural integrity during the printing process, that is while the material is wet/uncured, and the one […]
Workshop objectives The general objective was to create a habitat for a bird that keeps a cool temperature taking advantage of self-shading and thermal conductivity. This workshop was engaged with the following topics: Double layering printing Thermal conductivity Solar incidence and sun-path (the birdhouses have an orientation) Cavity filling
IAAC BUILDs – OTF 2017 – Workshop #1 Brief Zeer Pot Context A pot-in-pot refrigerator, clay pot cooler or zeer (Arabic: زیر ) is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity. It uses a porous outer earthenware pot, lined with wet sand, contains an inner pot (which can be glazed to prevent […]
