The purpose of constructing the entrance portal for the Technical and Vocational University is to define a unified entry space as a distinctive and recognizable feature, ensuring that it is easily identifiable and visible to the general public.
Key design considerations include:
Flexible and Pure Form: A form that harmonizes with the context and theme of the design, providing a cohesive visual identity.
Separation of Vehicle and Pedestrian Access: Clear differentiation between vehicular and pedestrian entry and exit paths.
Inviting Openness: Creating an open entryway to enhance the sense of invitation and welcome.
Use of Traditional Iranian Arch: Incorporating a traditional arch design, prioritizing pedestrian access, to reflect Iranian architectural heritage.
Symbolic Stepped Facade: The ascending stepped facade symbolizes knowledge, representing the journey towards higher learning.
Prominent Entrance: Utilizing prominent and readily available materials across the country (such as brick and stone) to make the entrance stand out against the university’s boundary walls.
Security and Control: Designing a secure entrance with a space for monitoring and controlling access (including a guard area overseeing both pedestrian and vehicular traffic).
