Due to the location of the site in terms of proximity to universities and variousindustries and science and technology towns and educational and researchinstitutions and proximity to the fourth ring of Isfahan and location on the mainroute Isfahan-Tehran and Isfahan Najafabad axis has made it possible to establishscientific research. And meet the mutual needs between the area of technologytrade and innovation with educational institutions and industries.The purpose of this region is to create communication and interaction between thethree fields of knowledge, capital and industry.

It also has different functions and flexibility of the bridge
with climatic and user conditions, which is one of the goals of this project. As aresult, the project design process proceeds in such a way that it is a bridge betweentechnology and modernity and the tradition of the region, both in terms offunctional structure, structure and form.According to the surveys conducted in the bridges of Isfahan province, thecommunication routes have not only been a passageway for pedestrians, but alsohave pauses, gatherings and occasional views, as well as people spending their freetime.

Thirty-three bridges had three pauses at the beginning and end of the bridgecalled Saqakhaneh and in the middle of the bridge with the title of Manzar Gahi(Shahneshin Room).In the architecture of the bridges, symbols and arches such as gable arches andsong arches have been used, which were structurally correct.By examining and analyzing the historical bridges of Isfahan, we almost reach acommon principle; the movement and pause routes are considered with a correctrhythm and appropriate to the user’s needs during the use of the bridge.

Now,considering the historical profiles of Isfahan and Khomeini Shahr, we reach apattern that corresponds to the correct form and function in terms of geometryand is also in line with the perspective of these two cities.Due to the location of the site and close to the fourth ring of Isfahan and the trafficof students of Khomeini Shahr and Najafabad industrial and free universities andmanagers of various industries, as well as being located on the main route Isfahan-Tehran from the route and proximity to industrial factories and educational centersand institutions We are trying to design the communication route between theTechnology Trade Center and the Museum Garden in a German way in order toattract people, investors and students in the field of technology.In the urban plan, the organization and placement of functional spots suitable forthe needs of students and professors around the University of Technology has notbeen defined.

Student conference to use and perform various functions tostrengthen and revive the texture of the region.An effective axis for connecting highway users to the connecting urban element,which at the same time has a flexible urban spatial quality with gallery spaces, hasbeen considered by the designers in the project design.In the whole project plan, various and parallel functions are placed next to eachother, which have the possibility of proper service to their neighboring functions.Decisions to select and organize land uses will also be flexible depending onenvironmental and cultural conditions.In the design of the bridges, reflective symmetry has been used in such a way thatby reflecting the view of the bridge on the water surface of Zayandehrood river, acomplete pattern has been created, which has evolved in the inner covering surfaceof Sheikh Lotfollah dome.In the project, by considering various sections that are repeated along the bridge,an attempt has been made to design maximum dynamic and flexible spaces so thatthe user, in addition to using exhibition spaces at different times, uses variousspaces such as central courtyards, cafes and Restaurant and …
