架构师提供的文本描述。在过去几十年中，德黑兰人口大幅增长，因此住房需求急剧增加，导致高地价。在这种情况下，每一英尺土地都意味着可观的利润，从而改变了优先次序。与过去人们关注的焦点是人的舒适和需求相矛盾的是，不幸的是，如今，从每一个项目中获得最大的利润已成为第一要务。

Text description provided by the architects. During the last decades Tehran population has grown enormously, as a consequence demand for housing has increased dramatically leading to high land prices. In such conditions every feet of land equals to considerable amount of profit making a change in priorities. In contradiction to the past that the main center of attention was on human’s comfort and needs, unfortunately, making the most profit out of every project has become the number one priority, these days.

目前的住房发展趋向于垂直增长，尽管这种住房模式对建筑商有利，似乎是解决缺乏足够土地的唯一办法，但与源自其文化和宗教信仰的伊朗生活方式形成了极大的对比。

The current housing developments tend toward a vertical growth and even though this pattern of housing is economically profitable for the builders and seems to be the only solution to the lack of sufficient land, it is extremely in contrast with Iranian lifestyle originating from their cultural and religious belief.

伊朗本土住宅建筑的一个主要特点是为居民提供隐私，过去，这是通过一种内向的建筑来实现的，这种建筑通常是围绕着一个中央私人花园形成的，所有的开口都是这样的，窗户很少暴露在外面上。然而，在当代住宅建筑中，窗户向公共通道开放，随着公寓的垂直增长，隐私已成为一种失落的品质。这一说法的一个证据是，附近的几个阳台被不透明的材料遮挡住了对面建筑物的视线。

A key characteristic of Iranian vernacular residential architecture was providing privacy for the residents which in the past was achieved through an introverted architecture often formed around a central private garden with all the openings oriented to that and the windows were rarely exposed on the outer faces. However, in the contemporary residential architecture windows are opened to the public passage and with the vertical growth of the apartments, privacy has become a lost quality. An evidence of this claim is several balconies in the neighborhood covered by opaque materials blocking view from the opposite buildings.

设计团队面临着几个挑战：

The design team faced several challenges:

1.这个结构是在我们被委托之前由另一个团队建造的。

1. The structure was constructed by another team before we were commissioned the job.

2.德黑兰严格的建筑法规。

2. The strict building codes in Tehran.

架构师的作用是克服上述挑战，产生满足用户需求的设计，并重新概念化当地的先例，以创建一个独特的体系结构。

The architect’s role was to overcome the mentioned challenges to produce a design that addresses its users’ needs and reconceptualize vernacular precedents to create a unique architecture.

为了提供最大限度的隐私，同时满足其他功能，如调节光线，限制外部视野，组织混乱的露台体验和减少高交通邻居的噪音，解决方案似乎是覆盖建筑质量在一个栅格的开口。砖似乎是一个适当的选择，因为它一直被用作当地的建筑材料在伊朗，以满足环境的需要，同时创造许多美丽的纹理。

To provide maximum privacy yet fulfilling other features such as moderating light, limiting view from outside, organizing chaotic experience of the terraces and decreasing high-traffic neighborhood noise, the solution seemed to be covering the architectural mass in a grid of openings. Brick appeared to be a proper choice since it has always been used as a local building material in Iran meeting environmental needs while creating numerous aesthetically beautiful textures

立面的概念是由周围的邻里结构启发而来的。砖块纹理是上下文混乱天际线的反映，洞口的位置考虑到令人愉快和令人不快的街景。

The concept for the façade is inspired from the surrounding neighborhood fabric. The brick texture is a reflection of the context’s chaotic skyline and the openings are located considering the pleasant and unpleasant neighborhood views.

旋转的砖块提供了机会有不同程度的开口，旋转角度是精确调整的内部和外部之间的对话，考虑太阳的方向，日光和水平分散从跨公寓。

Rotating the bricks provided the opportunity to have various degrees of openings and the  rotation angles are precisely adjusted through a dialogue between inside and outside considering sun direction, daylight and level of distraction from the across apartments.

由于外墙的复杂形式、有限的施工时间和项目的经济条件，项目小组不得不寻找一种新的施工方法来实施外墙。适当的方法似乎是通过敲击砖块来消除灰泥。

The complex form of the façade, limited construction period and economical conditions of the project forced the project team to search for a new construction method for implementing the façade. The appropriate method seemed to be eliminating mortar by punching the bricks.

参数化设计软件简化了纹理设计过程。尽管立面的形式很复杂，但施工过程很容易被工人通过采用编码系统编写的简单指令来执行。

Parametric design software facilitated the texture design process. Despite the complex form of the facade the construction process was easily executable by workers through simple instructions prepared by employing a system of coding.

砖块具有独特的潜力，可以在使用单一的材料的同时，创造出一个动态的立面。无论是从内部还是外部，这种建筑都是活生生的。正面五颜六色的纹理变化在白天，代表不同性质的光和阴影，因为内部空间经验相同。

Brick has this unique potential to create a dynamic facade while using merely a single material.  The architecture is constantly alive, from both inside and outside. The facade’s colorful texture changes during the day representing different qualities of light and shadow as the inner spaces experience the same.

在布置内部空间时，隐私仍然是主要目标，特别是在入口处，为了方便进入空间，特别是厨房，在入口处设计了一个过滤空间。这个过滤空间来自于当地的伊朗建筑。

In arranging inner spaces, privacy is still the main goal especially in the entrance where a filtering space is designed to provide easy access to the spaces especially the kitchen. This filtering space is inspired from the vernacular Iranian architecture.

设计立柱之间的壁龛提供了举办机械设施，装饰对象和照明的机会。厨房靠近空隙的位置，不仅能获得足够的光线，还能提供自然的通风。

Designing niches between the columns provided the opportunity to host mechanical facilities, decorative objects and lighting. The location of the kitchen adjacent to the void, more than getting enough light, provides natural ventilation.

在砖膜与外缘之间的间隙中设计了一个窗台，用于放置花盒，并提供从外部进入窗户的通道，以防清洗。阳台被放置在砖墙的后面，创造出私人的半开放空间来振兴它们的功能。该计划分为几何纯形式，以提供接受各种家具安排的潜力。

A ledge is designed in the gap between the brick membrane and the outer edge for placing flower-boxes and providing access to the windows from outside in case of cleaning. Balconies are placed behind the brick facade creating private semi-open spaces to revitalize their function. The plan is divided into geometrically pure forms in order to provide the potential to accept various furniture arrangements.

该设计试图提出一个原型，通过新旧之间的桥梁，解决该区域当前的住宅建筑问题，证明如何以新的方式使用当地的材料和模式，创造一种既满足功能需求又满足审美需要的建筑。

The design was an attempt to propose a prototype addressing the current issues of residential architecture in its region through bridging between old and new, proving how local materials and patterns can be used in new ways creating an architecture responding to both functional and aesthetic needs.
