We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Shahrooz Zomorrodi about their original and creative Recreational Center design work. Shahrooz Zomorrodi is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original recreational center works.
Shahrooz Zomorrodi ("SZ") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Tr88House Recreational Center. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
SZ : The concept of the universe we had in our heads began with a reoccurring nightmare in childhood, which might have happened to anybody. The designer turned this around, taking its positive characteristics – like unusual scenarios and striking details – and erasing its negative elements by using design methods and transforming the nightmare into a dream, enabling users to get lost in it and daydream. In this atmosphere, everything is bigger, rounder, softer, and bolder, which was inspired by child-like fantasy.
SZ : I just wanted to create an atmosphere so that the audience pays the most attention to the details of that complex. This is what I wanted to achieve. The design ideas of this project turn a space envelope with the purpose of selling into an opportunity to exchange and create new experiences. Creating an exaggerated and mysterious atmosphere and involving multiple senses, to create interaction between users and the architecture of the environment, are the main ingredients of Tr88House's architectural design. Exaggeration in a way that is not common in the real world, we can be humans in a Tr88House forest or small creatures in a meadow.
SZ : After receiving an award for a design, I might have plans to put new initiatives into action, carry them out, make them known, and improve them. I may utilize their awards to improve their chances of getting chosen for the next jobs, cooperate, expend resources on their professional growth, and support the architectural community.
SZ : This particular concept took about a month from the thinking stage to the initial development.
SZ : A recurring nightmare in childhood—which might have occurred to anyone—was the origin of the idea of the universe we had in our thoughts. I turned this around by taking its great qualities—like unexpected scenarios and eye-catching details—and removing its bad components using design principles. This allowed consumers to escape into the dreamlike world and fantasize. Also, we tried to include nature while taking into account Dubai's urban surroundings, but we did it in an abstract way that didn't rely on adding more vegetation. Tr88House as a result temporarily removes its users from the real world.
SZ : This collection's design, from stage 0 to stage 100, was created by my architectural firm, my design team, and I; it is not the property of any specific company.
SZ : My design technique has always aimed to create unique and unconventional environments using items that can be seen in the real world while maintaining a respectable quality. Tr88House required a unique interior design idea to be exceptional.
SZ : Other than the design team, no other designers participated in the creation of this design, and no other project's design served as an inspiration.
SZ : Concept, vision, personalization, creativity, fusing utility and design, sustainable and eco-friendly design, attention to detail and workmanship, and contextual significance may all be used to distinguish interior design projects from one another. These elements are crucial for giving it a distinct identity and differentiating it from others.
SZ : The number 88 in the name of the employer's firm and their desire, the term Tr88House was established as the ideal name for this project because of the trees in this concept.
SZ : Rhino, Photoshop, Autocad, 3DMax & Vray
SZ : It's surreal and abstract.
SZ : Yes, in fact, many human forces were used to perform its different parts, including paintings, sculptures, etc.
SZ : In order to develop and convey the project's fundamental concept, technology was crucial. Even in today's society, life would be quite different without technology.
SZ : To put the planned concept into practice and to learn more about Dubai's standards, architectural landmarks, and even related notions, extensive study was conducted.
SZ : One of the challenges of this project has been turning over the project at the core and shell stage as well as the implementation and introduction of the concept to the user and how they connect with each other.
SZ : The strategic choice to enter an international design competition is based on the designer's goals, the project's fit for the competition, and the potential value and possibilities it may provide.
SZ : Throughout the design process, I develop my technical knowledge, design concepts and aesthetics, problem-solving abilities, communication, and teamwork skills. I see the design process as a chance for both professional and personal development, and I use each project as an opportunity to advance my skills and broaden my perspective as a designer.
SZ : Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to ponder further on our architectural news today.
