Tehrani Taxi Terminal

Issues and challenges: the site boundary, limitations on dedicated terminal space, taxi lines (8 lines), need for roofing, disorganization, lack of visual appeal and boredom in the urban landscape, and obstruction of the view of the Alborz mountains (the main element of the natural landscape of this range).

In expressing the design idea, the overall form was designed linearly so that the taxi lines have a certain amount of dedicated space. The arched lines on the roof were used to recall the specific surfaces and forms of the Alborz mountains and hills, and were designed in three height levels of 4, 4.5, and 5 meters with a sequential and interconnected rhythm. The roof lines created the form of the columns and the integrity of the overall design was revealed. The structure in this design, as an integral part of the form and the entrance and exit openings under the roof, evoke the Eivan element, one of the important elements of Iranian architecture.
