Abbasabad Tourism Study
Tourism at landscape scale
The Abbasabad tourism study begins with small-scale accommodation and a relationship with water. Rooms are considered alongside open space, and the guest experience continues beyond the building into its setting.
Architecture is connected to ways of spending time in nature. Distance, paths and places to pause matter alongside built form. The archive image presents that relationship within a rural ecotourism study.
In nature-based tourism, accommodation is connected to how a visitor spends time in its surroundings. Small scale offers an opportunity to consider the relationship between built and open space, while water and landscape become part of the design question. The Abbasabad study places this relationship at the centre of its architectural idea.
This perspective considers both the scale of accommodation and the scale of place. Room quality is read alongside paths and pauses, and the building’s presence is connected with its setting. The dossier offers a framework for understanding Azhianeh’s approach to rural tourism architecture, where the stay continues beyond the room.
