In the western part of Tehran, there is a square known as Austria Square, undoubtedly one of the largest squares in the city. However, over time, there has been a lack of appropriate design for this square. My main concern was to establish a meaningful connection between the name of the square, its function, and its design. The initial idea stemmed from the need to create a link between Iran and Austria. Naturally, the unbreakable connection between the arts of these two countries, particularly music, became the focal point.
To achieve this, I divided the square, which spans over a mile, into seven sequences, each dedicated to one of the Iranian musical instruments and its relationship with Western music, including the five main categories of musical instruments. In the central section of the square, I used the musical note of "Sol" (G) to connect the central pedestrian area to the eastern part of the square, ensuring pedestrian safety while adding an aesthetic touch to the square's design.
The design approach for this square combines sustainable urban design principles with an emphasis on pedestrian-friendliness.
