Tehran, IR
Adding a program to two different buildings on different coordinates is the main challenge of the project 'were how can a structure nest on two existing programs, using their performing structure while having the least impact.
Designing a grid structure that can hang on six specific points of the towers while having the least contact is a suitable form for this kind of structure.
The access cores of the towers erected in between the grid's horizontal space were it can function as usual.
This nested grid functions as commercial use.
It includes vertical and horizontal paths or corridors, where shops take place, making it a three-dimensional maze(commercial).
The grid creates open door spaces that enable different public activities to take place, making it a hanging city on the towers.
One tower functions as a residential where its view is focused upon the south, having a clear view of the city while keeping its privacy from the grid, on the other hand, the mirrored tower which functions as a Hotel, has a clear view of the mountains. Having three different elements with different functions, co-exist within each other without having any interaction can inspire other sites to do alike.
