Red Crescent Organization Building

Location: Tehran, Iran

Red Crescent Organization Building

Inspired by the icon of Red Crescent Organization, “Crescent” cutting through a Box is the main concept of a mixed-use high rise, located next to the existing central headquarter and museum of Red Crescent Organization.

Crescent projection on the façade forms an iconic structure in one of the most traveled district of the city. Stepped entrance area, shaded by the extension of crescent form, creates a sense of welcome and comfort in a warm, sunny climate region. The accommodation of public uses such as museum, gallery, gift shop, and auditorium in lower level in conjunction with entrance plaza will enhance its liveliness and vitality. Apart from lower floors, location of uses like restaurant and hotel on top floors, with direct access to the rooftop, not only makes the spaces vibrant, but also they benefit from the scenery of city and beautiful northern Mountain. The green roof also offers office workers a rooftop retreat, it cools the air, and mitigate the water runoff.

Internally, the crescent shape void provides unobstructed view of floors as well as speeding up heat outflow. In addition, the twisted louvers system on the south and west side façade passively reduce cooling load. On the south side façade, louvers are effective tools at shading south-face windows in the summer when sun angles are high, while in west side, they block low-afternoon sun from entering west-facing windows. Another sustainability strategy is harvesting energy through photovoltaic panels installed on the curve surface of crescent shape.

Amenities like free medical facilities, and information station located in front of building, provide opportunity to give information and free services to the building occupants, visitors, and passengers.
