Islamic Art Center

​

        In the realm of Islamic art and architecture, the manifestation of beliefs often transpires through abstract forms. In parallel, this project seeks to embody Islamic beliefs through artistic abstractions. The chosen site for this project is situated in the city of Qazvin, Iran, renowned for its profound historical and architectural significance. Notably, the presence of Chehel Sotoun, an iconic historic building adorned with intricate Islamic patterns, serves as an influential component of the site’s context.

​

        To pay homage to this tradition, the design of the Iranian Islamic Art Center draws inspiration from the elements of Chehel Sotoun while incorporating a contemporary approach in both form and materials.
