Interview with Kalbod Studio

My grandfather was the most important motivation for me to become a designer. He was one of the most famous experimental architects in Iran who created designed many buildings and I am always proud of him.

We first try to have enough knowledge about the subject and examine all the challenges of the project, then we turn all the cases into a series of diagrams, and in the next step we turn these diagrams into etudes and initial designs. In the next step. We finalize and complete the project concept .

Designing gives me a sense of power. I find it fascinating that I can create something .When I focus on a project, I feel suspended in space. A kind of movement in time and place.

In my opinion, a designer should first be a psychologist, sociologist and researcher
Your point of view will be very effective in the design process. In the next step you need the skill of analyzing space and form like a sculptor. Understanding the proportions correctly.
And in the last stage, experience is the most important issue

We are developing studios in Dubai and Toronto. We strive to be an international collection with world standards .We are designing a concept island in Dubai, an island for 2040

One of the points that I always tell my colleagues is to try to increase their power of analysis and visualization of space and the next point is to study and analyze the works of other architects. There are many points that architects have addressed and by studying them, lessons can be learned.

As a developing collection, we are very focused on the design process. That is, we try to take each project step by step
At each stage, a number of project challenges will be solved
This is a great path for any professional collection

I am in the office every day at 8 am. Usually in the mornings we talk about the challenge of the projects with my colleagues and in the evening I inspect the projects. Various meetings with employers and executives are other topics in my daily routine. Lately, I also study and analyze the works of famous architects

We always review and learn from all the events and projects of friends and colleagues in the studio
Architecture and design is a very dynamic subject, which means that it is not possible to be in a closed space and body of communication for a long time and always produce successful works.
The mind of the designer must always be changing

It does not have a specific rule. Many times the designer thinks that the design should be much more successful, but it is not. In my opinion, the most important criteria is the designer's experience and thinking .In my opinion, it can be successful if the project responds to its environmental challenges and is properly evaluated aesthetically.

After the concept of the project is finalized, first a model is made, then we try to solve the executive problems, and then the executive plans are prepared with high accuracy.
At this stage, if all the items are done correctly, the design is ready

This bridge project, which won the competition, is one of the most important projects we have designed so far
I think it can be very effective both in terms of design and project location
The combination of traditional architecture of Isfahan with modern elements has become an attractive combination

Zaha Hadid-Norman Foster-

I live in Tehran, Iran. We grew up here with a rich source of architecture and culture. Our traditional architecture has contributed significantly to the global growth and development of the designing industry over the years.

In Atelier, I am always looking for quality colleagues who have no other concern than progress in architecture
The financial issue is always the last issue for me, the project itself and the employer, and the issues that I can influence in the project.
We are looking for progress, we are looking to become better architects of this philosophy of our work

Every year we try to design a school for charities for free
This is one of the contributions you can miss
Another issue is to try to move towards sustainable designs and a world without carbon

I think it was very interesting that the collection had the right attitude towards the competition and the participants
Another thing is that it was a great deal to do, and that's great
I am very thankful for the whole collection

Designing and creating have a sense of power for me, and being creative and thinking motivates me a lot

My grandfather was the most important motivation for me to become a designer. He was one of the most famous experimental architects in Iran who created designed many buildings and I am always proud of him.

The design of villas and houses is always attractive that you design the living environment of a family and think about all their daily needs and try to give the best answer to it.

The most important is the ability to visualize space and the power of space analysis, followed by aesthetic issues

Designer thinking and perspective can change the quality of designers. Any design that looks at the project from a better perspective and better understands the challenges of the project will be more successful.

Proper analysis of the situation and conditions of the project can greatly change the quality of the project. In my opinion, it is a good plan that, while responding appropriately to the issues of challenges, is also excellent in terms of aesthetics and visual identity.

The value of good design to the right taste and sense and energy that is transmitted to the viewer. A good plan in the right interaction with its environment by increasing the credibility and capital of all the factors influencing it

I would like to design a house for Elon Musk

New York Concert Hall Design

I try to think of a parameter that others do not think of and look at it from an angle that others do not.

Zaha Hadid - Norman Foster

I recently saw a work by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto that was very appealing and made the right connection between form and function.

The best project we did was the Isfahan Knowledge Bridge project, which is well designed due to the connection with the site and the correct performance solution

Of course, my team and I are trying to get better every day, but the most important thing that we pay attention to is the correct analysis of the subject. This helps the designer to provide better quality.

I think I was becoming a musician, a kind of arranger or producer of music

Creating something in the universe - something that did not exist before. Design makes sense to me. You are unlimited flying all over the world

Family is always the biggest supporter, thank you all

I have to say that it takes a long time for a designer to grow up, but I think working around the clock has the biggest impact on a designer's success.

Naturally, the situation gradually improves and there is more opportunity for thinking and analysis. I think the more you move towards success, the more obstacles you see and the more experienced you become

Technology has found attractive tools for architectural presentation, such as 3D printing or motion graphics

We are designing a concept island in Dubai, an island for 2040. We are trying to design better and more quality projects every day

Be one of the top 10 designers in the world

They expect us to create a flow, that is, to produce taste for the people

Every design has a new path to the future world. By targeting design and the spread of thinking in society, I think the biggest and most important effect that can be created.

The design of the island in Dubai is very attractive to me. I hope good things happen

The design of the Knowledge Bridge, which won the competition, was very attractive to us because of the connection it has made between the traditional architecture of Iran and Isfahan and modern architecture.

I think the higher the execution possibilities, the happier the designers will be. Execution constraints often change the design path.

Design will be the most important part of the future world in all areas

It usually takes from one month to six months from start and study to final delivery depending on the project

We usually start with project studies and analysis so we do not get into the design without a proper analysis of the project conditions

Nothing but quality matters

i think design sets the trends .

In today's world, design is impossible without technology and technological advancement

Revit- 3dmax- Raino - Illustrator

Environment that plays a very effective role in designs. We try to have a correct analysis of the environment. Color and material are the next important issues that are very effective in the final quality of the designer

Most of the questions are about the design process and how to achieve this form and design and how we came up with this concept.

How great the designer thought and analyzed. I always admire his good design

Shaghayegh Nemati .Yes, we always design a group in the studio and we are satisfied with the result

Atelier colleagues always help me with their motivation and thinking

Peter Eisenman's books have been very influential in my view of architecture

I think analyzing and reading successful projects from great designers is a very good way to increase quality

Norman Foster has always been a good role model for me and I welcome this meeting

We try to present our collection through architectural competitions and show our quality and architectural look.

Black-New York - Pizza _autumn _Dior

I think it's the best thing when the project design process is going great. I motivate myself every day by reviewing my goals

I didn't think much about it - but creating has always fascinated me

I do not think the world will exist in another 1000 years

We strive to be among the top 10 designers in the world. Thank you for the opportunity

Kalbod Design Studio is one of the subsets of Kalbod Construction Group, which works in the field of execution and design, I established it in 2016. During my years of activity, I have designed various projects with a variety of uses. With the aim of providing a contemporary alternative to traditional Iranian architecture, tries responding accurately to challenges of the climatic, economic, political, social and cultural conditions of each project. In addition to creativity and quality, the Kalbod studio knows the needs and limitations of its projects well and designs beyond nationalities and specialized disciplines, regardless of borders.

Design is an inner feeling for me, a kind of deification and creation .Visualize and create something that did not exist is attractive .

Building and object design has always been a priority, but any subject that has a specific challenge gives me the necessary motivation.

Conceptual and abstract design has always fascinated me, a kind of transcendent art. That is, the artist analyzes his project in different mental layers .

The first thing I designed was a small building in an old neighborhood. Many conditions were not ready for the ideal design, but I did my best .

Making with 3D printing technology has always been fascinating to me. It would be great if buildings could be built much larger and with this technology .

It makes me feel really creative when the challenges of a project are solved .The human mind has the ability to look at and analyze even a fixed subject from thousands of different angles. This kind of creativity is formed .

I think every project should have a scenario. The designer, like a director, portrays that scenario in the best way. We always focused a lot on the scenario .

When I focus on a project, I feel suspended in space
A kind of movement in time and place .All five senses are involved in this situation and creativity is at its peak .

Designing gives me a sense of power. I find it fascinating that you can create something . I am always proud of the way we think after my designs are spread .

.

It does not have a specific rule. Many times the designer thinks that the design should be much more successful, but it is not. In my opinion, the most important criteria is the designer's experience and thinking.

I would consider a design good if the designer have been successful in meeting the needs of the building and overcoming its challenges.

In my opinion, the designer becomes a researcher, psychologist and sociologist over the years. The designer is introduced as an influential human being in the structure of human mind and taste.

The future of design in digital and meta-space will change drastically. The fewer the implementation restrictions and the higher the manufacturing technology are, the easier it will be for designers to realize their ideas.

Iran Building and Design Exhibition. We are trying to apply for the 2023 Dubai exhibition.

Nature is always the most important source of inspiration for designers. I myself like the ideas of sculptors and for my source of inspiration I am interested in sculptors’ perspective in designing.

In my company, we try to see buildings as sculptures and ourselves as sculptors. The idea of relating spatial and functional applications in the context of an abstract scheme is very interesting.

I live in Tehran, Iran. We grew up here with a rich source of architecture and culture. Our traditional architecture has contributed significantly to the global growth and development of the designing industry over the years.

We are in contact with world-class companies in various executive fields. We all know that even the best designs fail without a proper implementation.

I think the thinking path of a designer at different times is the best reason to choose a designer. A design that progresses and grows through step by step thinking definitely deserves to be selected.

We first try to have enough knowledge about the subject and examine all the challenges of the project, then we turn all the cases into a series of diagrams, and in the next step we turn these diagrams into etudes and initial designs. In the next step. We finalize and complete the project concept .

I am in the office every day at 8 am. Usually in the mornings we talk about the challenge of the projects with my colleagues and in the evening I inspect the projects. Various meetings with employers and executives are other topics in my daily routine. Lately, I also study and analyze the works of famous architects

Of course, I am one of the young architects, but in architecture, I always tried to follow my own stream of thought .I have succeeded a little, but there is still a long way to go.

The most important thing for a designer is the independence of decision and choice. When external factors such as the employer interfere in the designer's work, the result can not be optimistic.

We think and study so much about the subject and concept to reach the maximum mental potential . Nothing will be sacrificed for quality.

The most important is the ability to visualize space and the power of space analysis, followed by aesthetic issues .Design is a set of abilities to visualize space and creativity and thinking .

We definitely use software features such as modeling and planning software a lot. Apart from this, searching and researching and analyzing similar projects is very useful.

For me, quality is the most important issue in the studio. We spend as much time as necessary to achieve acceptable quality for the project. Another issue is project management and the timing of the designers who work on the project.

We work mostly in the field of building design, but a new object design department is set up in the studio where we try to create our own creative ideas and context.

How to solve spatial relationships and plans is the most important issue and concern of all designers and employers.
And the next question most young architects ask is where to start.

In my opinion, how to interact with the employer has been the most important experience of my recent years
There will be no project if the right cooperation between the designer and the employer is not formed.

Most of our clients are high standard of living employers who come to us to invest in their personal building or house.
Large construction companies are also our employers . State-owned companies are also part of our employers.

The design of villas and houses is always attractive that you design the living environment of a family and think about all their daily needs and try to give the best answer to it.

We are developing studios in Dubai and Toronto. We strive to be an international collection with world standards . My effort is to be one of the top 10 architectural studios.

I am the manager of a group of 20 people where all the projects are done step by step by the whole team, but the main line of thought is always designed by me.

We are designing a concept island in Dubai, an island for 2040 .We tried to design according to the needs of the future man.

We can communicate through the site (kalbod.studio.com), email(kalboddesignstudio@gmail.com), Instagram(kalbod.studio) and phone (+989121432401) .

Thank you for your time and attention to design . I hope that in the coming years we will talk about the successes we will achieve.
