Neo-Zoroastrian Cosmotechtonics explores how Tehran can reinterpret Zoroastrian elemental cosmology as a framework for environmental regeneration, decentralised infrastructure, and social resilience. Set in 2066, the proposal responds to water scarcity, land subsidence, pollution, extreme heat, and urban growth by treating fire, water, air, earth, plants, animals, and humans as interdependent systems.

The masterplan revives the qanat as water infrastructure and spatial generator. Over Nahjol Balagheh Park, underground channels connect filtration towers, public spaces, housing, kilns, productive landscapes, and vertical farms. Badgirs distribute cooled air, stormwater is filtered and returned to the qanat, recycled water supports agriculture, and kiln waste heat is reused.

Muqarnas geometry shapes the project across urban, architectural, and façade scales, responding to sunlight, airflow, water, occupation, and vegetation. Using 3D-printed clay, local materials, and planted surfaces, the architecture becomes breathable, repairable, and climate-responsive. The proposal creates a polycentric network that reframes infrastructure as cultural space and water as shared civic resource.
