Ashari and Associates Architecture Group has been active in the fields of architectural research, design, and education in Shiraz since 2004. The group has consistently strived to explore and reinterpret concepts and methods with an empirical approach across various domains, including architecture, interior architecture, landscape architecture, product design, objects, and pavilions. One of the team’s ongoing concerns is to increase the presence of art in project design, thereby enhancing interaction and creating new experiences for users according to the potential of each project. Over nearly two decades of experience, the team, driven by curiosity, a spirit of collective participation, and perseverance, has been responsible for the design and implementation of close to 200 projects of varying scales and functions. Many of these projects have received national and international awards.

Pain and suffering are fundamental concepts in religions, philosophy, and psychology, and are integral parts of human identity, often referred to as holy suffering. An individual who endures pain steps out of their safe zone and encounters new conditions. These new conditions become the basis for their change, effort, and growth. Pain that is ignored transforms into long-term suffering. Are our pains and sufferings truly seen, heard, felt, or understood?
The mirrored cube, when placed in an environment, fades into its surroundings by diminishing its borders and questioning its existence. If the audience approaches it, the possibility of communication and interaction arises, offering a chance for empathy towards what has been lost. The inherent uncertainty in this experience allows for various interpretations.
