Innovation and Idea: In the compact and constrained façade of Tehran which lacks free spaces and every building surrounded by other build right next to it , the building’s façade is affected by context . with increased speed of construction in Tehran its evident that the whole city is growing vertically which results in amore compact urban space . The lineament of such city desperately requires innovation and creativity. One of the problems of the city is the superficial façade of buildings which leaves a soulless two dimensional shell.
The design is by neighboring buildings energies and deforms according to them and changes in the third dimension as well which saves the façade from the cliché that is two dimensional facades. Combining this idea with the childish nostalgia of origami came to a new dialect.
