Studio Gharib, Architecture & Design
The design method in his studio is fluid and meta-metric, as opposed to the abstract methods and metric process of Modernism. The multiple sequences of spatial sections and the successions of constructive models have replaced flat and static drawings. The Studio, in collaboration with professionals, has ventured into a wide range of disciplines, striving to break the boundaries imposed by traditional constraints. This unconventional approach to design has produced a spirit of independence, reflected in the research and works created by the Studio. The forms of spaces and objects are reflected in numerous designs for

. Consequently, design, for both architectural spaces, urban planning, and physical objects, is based on renewed attention to interactive relationships between space and the surrounding context. This recognition of the interactive dynamics between nature and culture and between social and economic components has been accompanied by digital integration of projects into three-dimensional spaces, replacing the linear, flat, two-dimensional projections typical of Modernist methods.

and to share the new trends in architectural planning. This prompted leading architects to consider the lifestyle of social architecture instead of personal styles. For the renovated approach of his Studio in Italy, creativity stands in promoting design solutions able to feed urban regeneration as cultural, inventive, educational, and functional diversities for new languages and lifestyles. This avoids repeating mannerist projects and their results, believing that creative solutions are fed by environmental components rather than by designers. His role in evolving the method of creative development in the Tenstar Community Association proposes an education that transforms urban regeneration into added value through the interaction of creative disciplines via the development of an integrated set of creative disciplines. This added value allows the users of the projects to meet their operational needs in an area renovated with a sustainable long-term economy based on knowledge use (knowledge-based production) rather than on energy dispersion (energy-based production).


Approach to cinema and music

As one of the founders of Tenstar Community, a multidisciplinary cultural Association, he is involved with the Association's sectors, such as cinema, music, visual arts, and photography, besides architecture and urban regeneration. These involvements include designing workshops and events for these disciplines or being invited as a jury member in film festivals such as San Giò Film Festival and participating in workshops such as the one with Iranian Director
