Iran, Noshahr – Concept
author:
Seyedeh Ayeh Mirrezaei
My initial idea is inspired from the bionic patterns of nature particularly wavy sand of the beach due to create more harmony with surrounding environment (Noshahr city is a coastal city that is located in the North of Iran near Caspian sea).Actually, I tried to use the wind power of the sea for producing the electricity of the building in order to decrease the use of fossil fuels and increase the sustainability of the building via utilizing the clean energy. Actually, the earliest known wind power utilization dates back 200 BC to ancient Persia for grinding grain and pumping water through the windmill.
Wind Catcher was another Iranian architectural element that used the wind power for ventilation and cooling system in ancient houses.
Rainwater harvesting, solar panels, wind turbine and natural lighting through glassy dome of the structure are some examples of this building for achieving the sustainable and eco-friendly features due to ignore fossil fuels and utilize of renewable energy sources.
