This contention is directly tied to more basic questions that have long stood at the heart of the discipline: \u201cWhat are the limits of architecture and how can it suggest a political alternative for communal life? How can it attain social agency?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Modern life has shattered expertise into distinct disciplines, making interdisciplinarity appear more an exception than a rule; yet, cross-fertilization is the surest way to yield innovation. Architects are well aware of the aesthetic and social dimensions of their trade but what about other sectors, such as industry, state and enterprise? As a mediator between a large variety of stakeholders, architecture has latent agency to remake relations between these groups, as opposed to simply replicating them.<\/p>\n<p>Zav Architects is well aware of this potential and has innovatively reshaped the <a href=\"https:\/\/zavarchitects.com\/practice\/office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">layout of their studio<\/a> in order to tap into this potential.

Yet, construction is undeniably central to architecture\u2019s economic and social agency. Rather than a passive object that responds to existing political structure and building industry, which often set the limits for architectural design, architects have the potential to redefine (or redesign) the entire process. How so?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, by thinking beyond the traditional goals of the discipline (aesthetics, program, budget according to established prices) and, in the words of ZAV architects, \u201ccreate a bigger economic cake by tying together the benefit of the stakeholders to that of the larger society.\u201d In the case of Hormuz, the studio thought critically about how contemporary architecture often relies on and therefore bolsters, \u201cimported intellectual or material products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-89298 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=1707%2C2560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?w=1707&amp;ssl=1 1707w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/ADD-TO-ARTICLE-scaled.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead, the colorful rammed earth domes seek to empower the island\u2019s local community. With the goal of building trust rather than simply building architecture, the scheme was developed based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/future\/article\/20190228-what-is-superadobe\">SuperAdobe<\/a> technique, developed in California by the Iranian-born architect Nader Khalili (originally designed for NASA, who was experimenting with how to create human settlements in space).<\/p>\n<p>The building process involves filling large fabric bags, often tubular in shape, with slightly damp earth and other organic materials like straw. They are then layered to form a compression structure. In Presence at Hormuz 02, the bags are filled with the dredging sand around nearby docks. This meant that the architects\u2019 vision of a settlement of small scale of the domes could be realized according to the building capabilities of local craftsmen and unskilled workers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-89267 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1283&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C513&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C385&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C770&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1027&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=625%2C312&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=368%2C184&amp;ssl=1 368w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-12-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C201&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-89266 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C571&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C428&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C856&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1141&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-11-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C223&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-89265 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1769&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C708&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C531&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1061&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1415&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-10-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C276&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To be clear, while the project offers an economic building solution that benefits the client, the premise of the design is not to exploit cheap local labor; rather, it is directly aimed at the economic distress caused by sanctions.

Their spatial simplicity is both intentional and pragmatic; the interiors are designed to be re-arranged according to changing needs, allowing the spaces to adapt to a variety of programs \u2014 from common areas to laundry facilities, cafes and restaurants to prayer or handicrafts areas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89264\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89264\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89264 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1707&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1366&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Presence-in-Hormuz-9-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-89264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image by Tahmineh Monzavi<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The initiative will be executed in phases, the second of which will be a a multipurpose building called \u2018Majara\u2019 aimed at bridging the gap between the lives of local people and visitors (both culturally and economically). \u201cMajara does so by bringing together the owners of land from the neighboring port of Bandar Abbas who organize an annual landart event in Hormuz, the investors from the capital city Tehran, and the local people of Hormuz as partners in the project,\u201d explains the architects.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the colorful rammed earth design accounts for the inherently political nature of the site, as well as the complex social dynamics of tourism and development. The studio\u2019s choices, from materials to construction to program, are aimed at situating the architecture at the juncture of various actors, so that the development can act as a mediator between locals, neighbors, and visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Should your firm be considered among the world\u2019s best architecture firms?
