The main discussion in this design was structure and the neighbors. All of the neighbors were follow cubism and the law of municipality would not let us build something out of this frame. But we had a wide variety of choices in our crust, plans, and site plan. There I started to design something different in function and design.

This complex had been designed following the rules of the municipality and the mass and the area which limit the design. The structure is another concern about this complex.

The whole function of this complex is amazing. There is all the function which people need for their daily routine, from shopping mall to wonderland for kids and office-store. This design somehow came from the idea of SilverCity in Richmond hill Toronto, Ontario. The complex includes everything that people can spend their time for all day long. People can start their day in the market, buying clothes and stuff, go to restaurants, watching movies and enjoying the city scene on top of the complex in roof garden café.

In Tehran, there are few shopping complexes which use their roof for any kind of performance and they do not use any kind of natural light for the interior. So it could be said that there is near 100% efficiency on spaces.
