Silk Tree Deaf Friendly Urban Park l Ashrafi & Zad - architecture and design

Silk Tree Deaf Friendly Urban Park l Ashrafi & Zad



The design impetus for the Silk Tree Park began before the project existed, with an investigative studio at Tehran?s Urban Innovation Center. The research led by Raha Ashrafi at TUIC focused on providing safe and comfortable urban environments for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals, ultimately resulting in a handbook titled 101 Tips To Design for a Deaf Friendly City. Months later, when Ashrafi & Zad was commissioned for the design of a small urban park adjacent to Tehran?s Sports Federation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the practice identified an opportunity to bring awareness to Tehran?s Deaf community and offer inclusive public amenities in the neighborhood.

Core design strategies included circular seating spaces ranging in radius from 2.80 meters to 5.50 meters; an ideal distance to facilitate deaf visual dialogue. The circular seating also encourages friendly interaction and engagement between strangers as the arrangement acts as a gathering space for all users. To further bolster safety and comfort, the circular seating has entrances facing walkways. Aside from these entrances, each seating space is surrounded on all sides by vegetation and greenery to prevent sudden or accidental approaches from an angle that is not visible to HOH individuals. © Nima Ghanei
