Imam Hosein Square and walkway, Tehran

A workshop on a completed traffic-calming project at Imam Hosein Square in Tehran. The team analysed the project and its area, then I redesigned the walkway and the main plaza.

Analysis

The area’s space quality was compared across six areas: history, nature, function, transportation, culture and society, and economic infrastructure. A SWOT table covered identity, function and aesthetics and led to the design goals.

Goals

Improve residents’ quality of life, give the area a distinct identity at city scale, and set design principles for the walkway.

Walkway

A zoned route with cultural, commercial, workshop, service and park zones, planned for workshops, shops and performances.
