About the project
«Panah» is a chance, albeit a short one, in the hustle and bustle of the city to keep its users in cease. A journey from the outside to the inside with the point of looking at oneself and an opportunity to imagine in the refraction of water and mirrors.
The project site was located in Mashhad, Iran, facing the shrine of Imam Reza and in the middle of an active urban node, where is a lively day and night life, due to the presence of pilgrims and passers-by.
we first looked for a concept that is both a metaphorical aspect of the project's matter and a common language between the mental meaning and the objective space. Hence, we found the word «PANAH» (shelter), which seemed to be able to create a common perception between different generations of users.
In the design process, we used a four-centered arch structure as the first and most important model of pavilion in Iranian architecture called “Kushk” and redefined it in the form of a pavilion in its original meaning (urban Kushk).
