INTERLACE : Cross-Cultural Dialogue and Public Space

In today’s increasingly diverse and multicultural societies, the need for inclusive public spaces that bridge cultural boundaries becomes desirable. “Interlace” explores the fusion of Persian and Swedish architectural aesthetics within public space, aiming to foster cross-cultural dialogue and enhance social interaction.  This project seeks to blur the lines between cultures, creating a harmonious atmosphere where diverse communities feel a profound sense of belonging. Interlace delves into the atmospheric qualities of public space, emphasizing inclusivity and unity among individuals from diverse backgrounds. Drawing inspiration from traditional Swedish boat houses and Iranian architectural heritage, the design focuses on seamlessly blending elements while respecting the natural surroundings and existing architectural features. The outcome is an architectural proposal—a public sauna on a deck in the Stockholm archipelago—symbolizing the merge of two distinct cultures. By incorporating Persian geometric patterns and Swedish architectural techniques and local material resources, the design creates a tranquil and contemplative space conducive to social interaction and community engagement.
