LIGHTBOX is a MSc thesis project about design and fabrication of a Tree-suspended structure with light-weight construction materials. The main aim of this thesis is to fi nd an eco-friendly solution to design IRAN’s pavilion for EXPO 2020 Dubai. Based on this idea, a comprehensive literature review about natural and alive structures and constructions carried out. Then local trees of location of the study (Dubai) were investigated in detail with structural point of view to fi nd proper specie for this design. Palm as native tree of UAE was considered as a suitable case for this approach regarding its form coincidence and structural resistance properties. Regarding architectural design considerations, the pavilion was designed such a way to be a representative of Iranian traditional architecture and its spatial qualitative. Therefore, pavilion design was associated with ribbed vaults and stained glass to provide a spatial recall to the architecture of Iranian house. The outcome of the design part was a three-dimensional frame which is suspended by a single Palm. The single palm and its suspended frame provided a module which created the general form of the pavilion by its modular replication. LIGHTBOX points out the surrounding natural environment, tries to indicate environments’ capability and capacity to be associated with construction industry. It can open a door in construction with less harmful effect on earth, lower consumption of natural and mineral resources and integrate human, nature and architecture as a similar unities.
LIGHTBOX è un progetto di tesi di laurea magistrale sul design e la fabbricazione di una struttura sospesa ad albero con peso leggero materiali di costruzione. Lo scopo principale di questa tesi è trovare una soluzione ecologica per progettare il padiglione dell'IRAN per EXPO 2020 Dubai. Sulla base di questa idea, una revisione esauriente della letteratura sulle strutture naturali e vive e costruzioni eseguite. Quindi gli alberi locali di localizzazione dello studio (Dubai) sono stati studiati in dettaglio con un punto di vista strutturale per trovare specie adeguate per questo disegno. È stata considerata la palma come albero nativo degli Emirati Arabi Uniti come caso adatto per questo approccio per quanto riguarda la coincidenza della forma e le proprietà di resistenza strutturale. Per quanto riguarda le considerazioni sulla progettazione architettonica, il padiglione è stato progettato in modo tale da essere un rappresentante dell'architettura tradizionale iraniana e la sua qualità spaziale. Pertanto, è stato associato il design del padiglione volte a costine e vetrate per fornire un richiamo spaziale all'architettura della casa iraniana. Il risultato della parte di design era una cornice tridimensionale sospesa da un solo palmo. Il singolo palmo e la sua struttura sospesa ha fornito un modulo che ha creato la forma generale del padiglione dal suo modulare replica. LIGHTBOX indica l'ambiente naturale circostante, cerca di indicare la capacità degli ambienti e capacità di essere associato con l'industria delle costruzioni. Può aprire una porta in costruzione con meno dannoso effetto sulla terra, minor consumo di risorse naturali e minerali e integrazione di uomo, natura e architettura come unità simili.

Abstract
LIGHTBOX is a MSc thesis project about design and fabrication of a Tree-suspended structure with light-weight construction materials. The main aim of this thesis is to fi nd an eco-friendly solution to design IRAN’s pavilion for EXPO 2020 Dubai. Based on this idea, a comprehensive literature review about natural and alive structures and constructions carried out. Then local trees of location of the study (Dubai) were investigated in detail with structural point of view to fi nd proper specie for this design. Palm as native tree of UAE was considered as a suitable case for this approach regarding its form coincidence and structural resistance properties. Regarding architectural design considerations, the pavilion was designed such a way to be a representative of Iranian traditional architecture and its spatial qualitative. Therefore, pavilion design was associated with ribbed vaults and stained glass to provide a spatial recall to the architecture of Iranian house. The outcome of the design part was a three-dimensional frame which is suspended by a single Palm. The single palm and its suspended frame provided a module which created the general form of the pavilion by its modular replication. LIGHTBOX points out the surrounding natural environment, tries to indicate environments’ capability and capacity to be associated with construction industry. It can open a door in construction with less harmful effect on earth, lower consumption of natural and mineral resources and integrate human, nature and architecture as a similar unities.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
