Sepanta
Sepanta is a multifunctional hall designed for music, theater and opera on Kish Island. The form is inspired by the shells of the turtles that nest along the nearby coast. A smooth wavy surface recalls ocean waves and is made of glass fibre reinforced concrete. The suspended curved ceiling is built with space structures and rests over a glass curtain wall that opens the interior to the sea view. Triple glazing and a three layer ceiling reduce energy loss. The hall covers nearly 6000 square meters and seats about 1350 people.
Sepanta Multifunctional Hall by Amin Naimi has been identified as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Sepanta Multifunctional Hall was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize which rewards outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
