INSPIRATION
The entrance gate is inspired by the nature of the entrances in traditional Iranian architecture, which has been updated with a modern approach, in addition, since the use and activities of the complex are related to science and technology, the details and geometry of the arches are It is designed to evoke the path of electrons around the nucleus, especially when the dynamic lighting is activated at night.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The study process of the project started with the question posed by the employer, whether the entrance can be an element of identity while defining the entrance and providing the required spaces so that it becomes a sign of the organization and activities at the province and country level. Therefore, the definition of the project has gone far beyond the definition of an entry, so that the formalistic aspect of the project could become particularly important.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION
The entrance part (project) is adjacent to a boulevard and a walking path (called Salamat Road) that goes to the heights. Also, due to the quality of the air and the wide views, many people use this path for group and individual walks at different times of the day and night. They choose. During further investigations about the project site, we found out that the walking path that is located near the entrance is a dynamic flow of people's movement that can be involved in the design process, so the entrance can play the role of a node and sign .

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION
The project design started in August 2021 in qazvin and finished in November 2023

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY
The project has two shells, including the outer shell (structural and hard, which is a combination of beams, columns and slab) and the inner shell (non-structural, in which arcs and lighting joints are embedded in metal mesh and cement with a combination of powder brick) At the same time, the part of the console, which has a length of more than 15 meters, which uses a concrete beam system with a variable cross-section and a concrete heel.

SPECIFICATIONS / DIMENSION / PACKAGE / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES
The area of the infrastructure is over 240 square meters (40 x 6 meters) and the height of the building is 15 meters in the highest part

RESEARCH ABSTRACT
In the design process, it has been tried to use the capabilities of Iran's traditional architecture, which is the result of several hundred years of experience (* increasing the thickness of the entrances to create service spaces. * double layering technique to have a human and urban scale at the same time) to be able to answer suitable for the needs of an input and also paid attention to the dimension of identity.
