Tehran Performance Art Center

Tehran Performance Art Center is actually redesign of an Incomplete and abandoned Building. The existing Structure was designed for a Cinema and theater function and remained incomplete ruined an rusty for 10 years.
The main issues were : reprogramming the building with new needs and functions and retrofitting the structures and designing the extension buildings
We had to repair nearly everything. The site was a set of warehouses pretending a theatrical complex resembling a conglomerate of boxes of different sizes, like a group of coffins. We put them together like colorful boxes. We turned the coffins upside-down and colored them so that they look like a luxurious hall. We tried to standardize the inside as far as possible
