Defining the space of inner dialog: Orthogonal 3d corner as a simple geometrical model to indicate the meaning “Konj” which has subjective & meditative sense in Iranian literature.
Defining the space of outer dialog: The outer conversation happens in the manner of motion & immovability through the zigzag continuous ramps & behind the artificial water wall.
Conceptual Superimposition: Hybrid elements & effects derived from the dialog between the two systems above.
The geometric effect of the axis of natural elements creates a hyper point at the top corner of the concrete wall near the only tree in conversation with the soft surface of falling water.
Mythological composition of the stairway, nonfunctional deformed cube-based forms outside the main space in conversation with the diagrammatic organization of the ramps & the functional solid through which water falls.
