Araam Villa in Maku, Iran by White Cube Atelier

Monday, January 17th, 2022

Article source: Reza Asadzadeh + Shabnam Khalilpour

Araam Villa is tranquilized in Qare khach village context on southern heights of Maku a city in northwestern Iran near the Turkish border that has long been familiar with modern values due to its border proximity and the presence of migrant minorities; Moreover, the climate of this region is different from the plateau of Iran, it is full of water and has green pastures.Materials and geography are everywhere. It is a trivial matter to say that the value of architecture lies in the geography in which it is located; Or to say it is based on steel, concrete and other elements. Architecture is based on wonder and mystery. And it is a story of striving and struggling against the impossible. Inside the house, the dominance of the landscape leads to a wide and sequential connection for the penetration of the surrounding nature, light, sound and air.

Recently, a service buildings group of Nantong Urban Agricultural Park has been completed by Z-ONE Architects (a newly emerging studio which specializes in experimental architectural practice in rural China; established in 2020). The project located on the northern suburb of Nantong, Jiangsu, China, with a total construction area of 4552.8m². It took four months from concept design to final completion.

The project includes 3 buildings ：a Comprehensive Service Center called “Gather Grain into Granary”， an Exhibition Hall of Rural Life and a public restroom renovation. Considering the project is located in the entrance area, which is an important place for visitors to perceive the whole park, it needs to transition between urban and rural experience, without missing the reflection and reconstruction of contemporary architectural vocabulary.
