11TH MEMAR AWARD - RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - FIRST PLACE
Abadan Residential Apartment
Architect: Farshad Mehdizadeh | Memar 70 | Dec-Jan 2011-2012
Jury Commentary
Mehdi Alizadeh: Material selection of steel structure with infill surfaces of uniform masonry materials. The design style of wall materials is consistent with the materials and their application. The project on its final plot is a living project for the city.
Kamran Afshar Naderi: The house is placed on a very small plot and despite that has managed to create a distinctive work. The architectural design and concept have been shaped through a completely conscious process. Climatic issues have been addressed and this attention has had a serious impact on the building form. The building facade has been designed in a very innovative way as a three-dimensional system and its design is connected to the whole project. The project, while having a contemporary structure and face, establishes a subtle relationship with the traditional architecture of southern Iran. Considering the spatial and socio-cultural context, this is a very courageous project.
