This Project shares an intrinsic condition with a certain architecture of the early 16th century and the 20th century. Through the discursive relationship with the past, the project finds its definitive attitude. The first relation that the project draws is to Palladio. This relation is specifically drawn because of how Palladio was able to shift the established architectural mannerisms (the homogeneous space) of the late 15th century by Alberti, to what is known as the Heterogeneous space; by dislocating normative location and meaning of supposed spaces and moving from a geometric analysis to a topological one; as described by Eisenman in Palladio Virtuel.

As continuation of Palladio’s work, creating indeterminacy in spaces and producing the quality of “otherness” by dislocation of adjacent spaces; this project applies the mutual characteristics in a vertical organization. Therefore, Palladio’s Heterogeneous space starts to work on the 3rd axis. The invisible notations of Palladio’s spaces that made the “other” or “excessive” qualities activated, here, create a condition of multiple otherness which pushes the geometry from Palladian topology to differential topology.  

The Project draws further relationship to the 20th century architecture and the ground condition. The dialectic relationship of the object and ground varies on each side and formulate a distinctive political allegory. From South side (the entryway) the object is off the ground and disestablishes it as land. From North side, object sits on the ground and establishes the ground as land. The East and West sides act as a connecting piece between the two oxymoron conditions of the North side and South side. So, the disposition of the object and the site in its entirety becomes connotation of political and cultural changes.

With the current (2020) political and cultural difficulties and suppressions that is happening in the site (North of Tehran, Iran), this project is cognizance of the subversive attitude of public towards power; the uneasiness of the object on its site is an external projection and a visual cue of that relationship. The differential topology of the program is set to evoke an existential conciseness towards “living”, in the minds of the users.
