Revitalizing Urban Spaces: Sekonj Garden by Eskandarpour,Saeidizade,Parisa Sherafati

Inspired by the remaining trees, Sekonj Garden's layout and new structures are based on the location of the trees, offering diverse spaces for user interaction and social engagement. The project's hand-made techniques and contextual use of red brick make it truly unique.

The main axis leads to a central circular space with a tree in the middle of a water basin, offering various seating areas and a contemporary children's playground design derived from old domes.

Completed in September 2019, this project adheres to design standards, creating an interactive space that connects people with familiar shapes and native materials, enhancing the level of green space and using sustainable, recycled, and local materials.

Based on Jan Gehl's approach, the project focuses on understanding the primary quality of urban places and transforming observations into design, aiming to improve public spaces through human senses and actual surveys.

Challenges such as preserving old trees, lack of irrigation conditions, and government restrictions on materials and costs were overcome, resulting in a dynamic, lively, and active space for all users.
