伊朗首都德黑兰的军方住宅项目 Army Residential Complex / Hootanpei

ocated(位于) in a land about 80 hectares(公顷) in Tehran, the design for the Army 

Residential Complex by Hootanpei was chosen in an architectural(建筑学的) competition. With 

the contractor’s demand of 28-30 towers with 20-30 floors, the most important factor(因素) 

of design was minimum(最小的) interference(干扰) between pathways(路) and driving ways and 

also suitable green places to create comfort and welfare(福利) for residents(居民). More 

images and architects’ description after the break.

The concept(观念) of project, which has a 1,000,000sqm area, was formed based on an 

external(外部的) loop(环). All the buildings have access by this loop and in the middle 

there is an opening. In the next level of design, because of the buildings excessive(过多的

) height and in order to create a nice view, this prevents an unusual view and add to the 

central space, we have built each building on the 5 stories platform. The above 

modifications(修改), give an advantage that shorter (5 stories) buildings can be seen first 

from the central space, then the point of view of the higher height towers are seen in a 

further point, the above adjustment(调整) on the platform would also improve the view in a 

central space.

The general idea of the exterior(外部) view is based on moving shutters, which control the 

light angle and save the energy. The green architecture(建筑学) was desired in this 

project, and green terraces(平台) on the roof of the five-floor building make a good view 

on top. These roof gardens divided into public, private and semi-private(半私人的) ones. 

Totally, the main idea of this design is using the natural resources and eco-friendly(对生

态环境友好的) architecture and save the energy.
