Revitalization of Bab-ol-Raha
The project is an architectural proposal for the historic Bahá’í neighbourhood of Bab-ol-Raha in Ardestan, Iran, addressing decades of depopulation and physical decline. The project explores how restoration, adaptive reuse, new public spaces, and community-oriented functions could revive the neighbourhood while preserving its architectural and social memory.

Amaniye Renovation
Amaniye Renovation is the transformation of an existing residence through spatial reorganisation, new architectural elements, custom-built components, and hands-on construction. The project developed through both design and execution, allowing decisions about material, detail, and everyday use to evolve directly through the building process.

Urban Design II
Urban Design II was developed as the second phase of an academic urban design project focused on the historic area around Toopkhaneh Square in Tehran. Following an initial regeneration proposal for the wider district, the project selected one urban block for detailed design, translating the broader strategy into a more precise study of public space, circulation, building edges, and the relationship between existing fabric and proposed interventions.

Persepolis Museum
Developed under the supervision of Hussein Amanat, the project is an academic museum proposal developed in dialogue with the archaeological landscape and architectural memory of Persepolis.
