Project Manager: Pariz Tarh Construction Company
Location: Mashhad, Iran
Status: 2011- 2013 Under Construction
Site:
The project is located in one of the historical sites in central Mashhad. The site is a part of the historical hospital site. The project is surrounded by hospital building in the east, the nursing college in the west, the hospital garbage burning building in the south, and the main city street at north side. There are two accesses for the project; the main access is from the Ebn-e- Sina St at the north side of the land and the other in the site from the east side.
Program:
The aim of the project is to create a Multi Storeys Parking building for the hospital staff and public with the provision to implement a waiting hall for the people who are waiting to visit their patients in the hospital. The old hospital building doesn’t have any waiting hall.
The “Building Permit” information and regulation for this project include:
- Site Area: 4993 m2
- Density: 100% coverage of the land in each floor
- Total Floor Area: 40,000m2
- Total Storeys: 8
- Total parking space: 1300 Stall
Challenges:
There are 3 main challenges and concerns about the design in this project include:
- The form of the land and limitation access to the project
- Huge scale and mass of the project due to the project program and serious geotechnical concerns that forbid to design more than one under ground level for parking
- Respecting to the historical architecture of the old hospital building and also serious concern about the local architectural style and typology of the city fabric which the site is located in
Solutions:
Attempting to give the Regional and Iranian Architecture Identity to the project through using of traditional principals and methods in Iranian Architecture in respecting to the Time and Location of the project includes:
- Reducing the visual weight of the project mass by:
ü Creating a rhythmic positive and negative space on main Facades
ü Increasing the volume of negative space on north facade from bottom to the top
ü Separating the building facades from each other by creating a highlighted negative space at each corner
ü Separating the eastern and western façade from the ground
ü Changing the facades characteristic at the corners of the project by using a ramp, stairs spaces, and separating them from the adjacent facades
- Emphasis on the project belonging to Mashhad and the city’s content by using :
Traditional local clay bricks and its decorative details, concrete owning elements on top of the opening to implement the facades
- Using of the maximum space for the parking area
- The separated exit and entrance path ways are easily recognizable
- Easy and fluent movement path ways
- Separating fast and slow path ways in the parking
