“VIRA II “办公大楼位于德黑兰中部的Yusefabad社区。这个街区实际上是行政和住宅用地的所在地,被认为是德黑兰市非常重要和有价值的区域之一。该建筑的地块面积为340平方米,总面积为2035平方米,包括底层、六层行政楼层,每层实用面积为180平方米,还有两层地下室。停车场位于地下室和地面层。

“VIRA II” office building is located in Yusefabad neighborhood in the central part of Tehran. This neighborhood is practically the host of both administrative and residential land uses and is assumed among the highly important and valuable zones of Tehran city. This building has been constructed with a plot area of 340m2 and has a total gross area of 2035m2 including a ground floor, six floors with administrative use and a useful area of 180m2 on each floor, and two basement floors. The parking lots are located on the basement and ground floors.­­

设计这个项目的主要问题是它一方面与西侧的老建筑相邻,另一方面又与东侧的现代高层建筑相邻,如何处理这个问题呢?与这两个相邻建筑的协调在功能和形式及规模上都有所不同。项目的西边邻居是公寓,大多是住宅用途,高度为3-4层,在德黑兰大都市中被认为是小规模的建筑,在形式上完全遵守市政标准。换句话说,这些建筑的建造完全符合德黑兰城市结构的主要类型。在东侧,该建筑与一座现代化的行政商业用途的高层建筑相邻,从规模、功能和形式上看,它显然与西侧的邻居们不同。

The main problem in designing this project is its adjacence to old buildings on the western side, on the one hand, and neighboring a modern and high-rise building on the eastern side, on the other hand, and how to deal with this issue. Coordination with the two adjacencies differs both in terms of Function and in terms of form and scale. The western neighbors of the project are apartments mostly with residential use and 3 and 4-storey height, which are assumed as small-scale structures in Tehran metropolis and fully obey the municipal criteria in terms of form. In other words, these buildings have been constructed in full compliance with the dominant typology of the urban texture of Tehran. On the eastern side, this building is adjacent to a modern and high-rise building with administrative-commercial use, which is evidently different from the western neighbors in terms of scale, function, and form.

在处理上述问题时,设计团队的主要挑战是在西侧存在一个强加的斜面,并避免因遵守标准而产生的与形式有关的顺从类型学。因此,在提出的概念中,斜面不仅被用作重复的城市主题,而且通过在建筑立面的中央部分向东的体积和凹陷的倍增,获得了更高的功能,并作为将二维面转化为三维活动体的工具。这种方法的应用和将建筑分为三个重叠的体量,使其在规模上与西边的邻居有了更好的并列。此外,通过在建筑主立面的主要部分使用透明的表面,以及使用具有绿地潜力的重复性阳台,我们试图与东部的邻居建立更好的协调。

In dealing with the abovementioned problem, the primary challenge of the design team was the existence of an imposed bevel on the western side and avoidance of the form-related obedience to the typology resulting from compliance with the criteria. Therefore, in the presented concept, the bevel not only has been utilized as a repetitive urban motif but also has gained a higher functionality through multiplication in volume and recess towards the east in the central part of the building facade and serves as a tool for transforming the 2D face into a 3D active volume. The application of this approach and dividing the building into three overlapping volumes results in a better juxtaposition with the western neighbors in terms of scale. Furthermore, by using transparent surfaces in a major part of the main building facade and also by using repetitive balconies with the potential of locating green spaces, it has been attempted to establish better coordination with the eastern neighbors.

至于建筑立面使用的材料,应该指出的是,考虑到邻近建筑材料的多样性,通过在项目墙面上使用中性和灰色的颜色,减少了建筑的色彩功能。建筑南面的刚性部分是由GFRC板和金属板组成,涂层颜色为深灰色。垂直元素和遮阳板有助于改善气候性能(控制南部和西南部的阳光)。最后,必须指出的是,”VIRA II “试图与周围的城市景观产生积极的互动,同时保持其作为建筑的独立身份,并避免对城市景观漠不关心。

As for the materials used in the building facade, it should be noted that considering the diversity of the materials in the neighboring buildings, the color functionality of the building has been reduced by using neutral and greyish colors in the project walls. The rigid parts of the southern face of the building is made of GFRC panels and metal sheets with dark gray coating color. The vertical elements and shaders contribute to the improvement of the climatic performance (controlling the southern and southwestern sunlight). At the end, it must be noted that the “VIRA II” attempts to have positive interactions with its surrounding urban sight, while maintaining its independent identity as a building, and avoiding being indifferent to the urban landscape.
