Financial transactions are always bumpy because they are dependent on many variables. Currency exchangers are the middle ground in financial flows that can be clearly seen in this turbulence. In the design of this exchange, we tried to introduce turbulence in its architecture and the audience could feel it. The exchange is located at a shopping center in Tehran. The length, width, and height of this store have made it slim. As a result, to accommodate the space and to avoid falling its width, we used non-useful height under the false ceiling. Following the turbulence in design, factors such as exchange rate fluctuations and the direction of sending foreign currency transfers were introduced as an idea. Brass tubes were used because of its value and its recyclability. It is also a reminiscent of a bunch of coins.
This project has been designed with a different look at the exchange. This means that we have tried to coordinate the architecture of this environment with the nature of the job so that users understand this feeling. Brass is also used to achieve this goal, because it is a valuable metal and, like other expensive metals and currency, is a price variable that expresses currency fluctuations in the market and is, of course, also recyclable, and like the nature A currency exchange job is a kind of capital.

The above plan was designed to use unused space. But to cover the appropriate height, a lot of brass tubes were needed that was expensive. So, we split the surface into 55 stainless steel plates and connected them to the main chassis connected to the structure of the building with long screws and at different heights. Then, we installed brass tubes with a fixture on the plates.
These bronze tubes are 25 mm in diameter and vary in length depending on their position. 63 types of pipe lengths are used in this collection and their number is 2900. Also, according to the ambient lighting pattern, 200 light bulbs have been designed to embed light in the environment.
Based on the previous information, we decided to put turbulence as the main concept and use bronze to represent a valuable material, the price of which also varies in turbulence. The reason for using a tubular shape was that it was a mountain of coins that bronze pipes responded well to this need.
