The main form of the Shabestan, with the grandeur of a religious space, provides the opportunity of a unique experience to fulfil the immemorial ambition to connect with the Creator and feel the symbolic form of the dome. This immediate and elucidate connection is also formed by a sunken courtyard as one of the characteristics of Persian architecture, which allows the users to get away from the exterior crowd and perceive the building in a tranquil space.
The main idea of correlation and interrelationship between different social groups and encouraging the presence of the new generation in the complex, is reflected in the final form of the Shabestan which was shaped by the idea of interlocking hands as a symbol of unity and social cohesion. Following this main form, the side wings of the building with the supplementary functions rise from and rest on the ground to create an innovative form visually.
The complex consists of various functional zones such as a mosque, an art gallery, a bookstore coffee shop, an amphitheatre, and an IT centre, all of them designed in a unified form.
