Pipe Shelter

An experimental shelter in Viladasht, Karaj, designed by Alireza Asadpour of Barsav Architecture Group using industrial pipes as primary structural and spatial elements. The jury was divided: Hadi Tehrani found beauty in its ugliness, comparing it to an Alfa Romeo. Gisue Hariri initially admired the designer's courage and risk-taking with materials, while Nasrin Seraji was ambivalent about its appearance but acknowledged it as an interesting simple space. Nader Tehrani noted the pipe-bending at the roof edge deserved better documentation.
