Block A2 and block A3 are located in district A of Pouladshahr.
This zone, which is located in the north, is adjacent
to the center of the district A. The commercial center
of the city is located in west. The recreational center
of the city is located at its south and to the east lays
the center of block A1. These two districts cover an area
of 900x900m.
Sougera channel (A channel branching from Zayanderood
River that irrigates agricultural lands of the district)
divides this square plot of land into two nearly equal
parts, with block A3 to the west and block A2 to the east.
In order to avoid the interrupting impact of the channel
on the integrity of these two blocks, and for defining
the channel as a connective element between these two,
the main block elements are placed on the sides of the
channel and the houses occupy the remaining parts, thus
the channel constitutes the pedestrian route of the two
blocks. The mentioned plot was divided into 36 modules
of 150x150m.by hypothetical lines along which the subterranean
infrastructural network lies. Each module comprises houses
of different heights; the units adjacent to the channel
contain the main elements of the block center.
A main traffic loop enriches the block and is connected
to the city traffic network. Secondary roads branch off
the main loop and penetrate to the block, and into the
public parking. Thus the internal pedestrian network of
each block is kept safe. In times of emergency Vehicles
such as ambulances and fire engines may use additional
secondary accesses, originally devised as pedestrian routes.
Two pedestrian accesses-the main pedestrian routes of
the blocks- are predicted on two sides of the channel,
interconnected by bridges.
The secondary pedestrian routes, that establish connection
between different elements of blocks, are perpendicular
to the channel and subterranean infrastructures located
beneath them.
The green areas are organized in three categories: The
green area around the channel, the green area along the
pedestrian routes of the blocks and the green area surrounding
the houses.
Modules allocated to houses, comprise groups of different
heights. Those nearer to the channel are lower in height
and the houses that stand along the road are higher.
