Honorable mention winners from Turkey

Seyed Mohammadali Banihashemi Veijouyeh (SMBV), instructor in Tabriz Art University, conceived the work. Nasim Mollazadeh Sorkhabi (NMS), architect, figured out the design with Nasim Hossein Nedjad and Negin Shokry, both students of architecture. The team has been involved in parametric design applying the mathematics in architecture. SMBV and NMS have been involved in democratic design for more than three years.

Brief information about the projects that you/your company have beeninvolved with. For instance, what scale have you focused on/preferred, any significant projects where the company/ individuals have been involved?

SMBV and NMS have the experience of several academic design and professional projects, based on parametric architecture. They have worked on Tuba Residential Complex with the adaptive design approach, as a university design team in 2021. As a teaching assistant, NMS collaborates on many classes and workshops on the adaptive design, and works on small and medium scale projects such as houses and schools under supervision of SMBV.

What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

Architecture allows people to realize dreams by participating in the design process. The participation often improves the design by orienting the architecture to the user’s demands. When the architect offers a parametric design to users, he provides them with adaptive alternatives. In the traditional architecture of Iran, the architects have taken this path to keep the users involved in design and construction process.

Why do you participate in architecture competitions?

Architecture should adapt contemporary trend and the user’s involvement. The competitions are the best chance to call the attentions to adaptive and parametric architecture, and let them see the future from our perspective. More importantly, participation in such competitions aims us to think universally and provides us with valuable experiences.

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture competitions?

The team motivated to work on the interesting topic, sharing ideas creatively and the valuable experiences, which no one may find it individually.
