We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main idea was making light-weight walls that can be manufactured in industrial methods and helps the pending shortage for building materials in the country.
: We mostly focused on making earthquakes safer in a country that suffers so much from earthquakes more than 5.5 Richter, as well as reducing energy losses through the walls of a building. Also caring about agricultural soil was so important and using mineral materials instead of that.
: This winning design must be manufactured in a huge amount. Then, soon - through an international agreement and investment that is going to be finalized nowadays - the great manufacturing plant will be established.
: It took about 4 years including all Primary and complementary studying as well as prototyping, testing and manufacturing in limited quantity.
: Frankly speaking, it was a private decision on a team, to make something special which is designed, developed and manufactured in-house with local knowledge, materials and machineries.
: As mentioned above, we are producing it right know and some of the construction projects here in Iran have used it recently. And about selling the rights, It was mentioned above that we made a joint venture with an international company and are going to develop the production lines in different cities by ourselves. Then, No, we are not going to sell the rights.
: The basic idea came through the problems of using traditional building materials for wall section and the limit sources in supplying modern walls.
: It was a co-operation of team members including two main parties, as well as some other friends or researchers who supported us by some mind-storm meetings.
: It is mainly for high rises manufacturers as well as mass constructions. But all buildings are going to be constructed can use it.
: Light weight as well as tolerance in case of earthquake and fire
: As it is so easy for installation, and as far as it is going to be used as a pre-fabricated wall, we named and registered it as EASYWALL which means exactly easy wall for installation.
: The tools were mostly computer software such as Autocad and others similar ones.
: Definitely yes. We got some directions by some university professors as well as mass construction owners.
: For the moment, it is not depended to technology in a huge rate, but soon - by designing the new production line - we need to use more technology-based machinery to have more products with limit budget. Then, technology may help us in better and more products.
: We had a complete research about population, the growth rate, and the future needs of housing, energy waste in buildings, earthquake matter and weak points of walls, as well as the export potentials in neighborhood countries.
: The main challenge was making a right mixture of some mineral elements to make a needful mineral composite according to the target willing.
: It was so funny. I like KIA MOTORS cars and by checking the website of this brand, I found that they do applying for different design competitions and awards. Then I searched the internet for a right design award for building materials, and then I faced A' Design website.
: I mostly believed in our mind and willing, and now I am sure for our next building material research and design project, we will be faster and more accurate in achieving to the result.
: While the face of the design and final product is so simple, but we mostly tried to design it safe, fast, easy and localized. And we are so proud of doing them all right.
