Form formation process diagram
Respect for nature, familiarity with the native culture of a particular ecosystem and creation of a space for experiencing these subjects in a modern and present-day structure, is the main approach of Rasht ecotourism complex design.
Formation process of designing structure
Clustered organization of the complex that is being inspired by the rural area’s structure and its texture, is the main idea of its formation. Whole public spaces and units of villas in a linear-complexity organization are in complete unity and harmony while preserving their diversity and functional independence.
Variety in designing features and approximate independence of villa units for different users are some other specification of this complex.
In public spaces, it is aimed to experience the encounter with ritual ceremonies, local costumes, and traditions and becoming familiar/settling into handicrafts and different native foods.
In villa units, experience living in the vicinity of native and traditional spaces and settling into the local lifestyle in the shape of a modern and present-day structure are some other desires of the project.
Rasht ecotourism complex tries to hit off and be in harmony with nature, culture, customs, climate and biological conditions of the aria aiming to put the domestic and foreign tourist together by creating a specific and memorable space.
