I am a female iranian architect. It seems to me that the designer of this project, is totally ignorant about Iran, its culture and even the Vali-asr street which he had supposed to design in it. this is the most beautiful street of Tehran with Old tall trees in both side. It is appear that he did not visit the site, worse that that he didn;t even bother himself to look on some photos of new modern Tehran.His concept is very primitive. He just heard sth about ziggurat and then he started to design. he didn’t even know how women wear in Iran. Look at those female characters who were dressed up in arabic cosumes! It is not a surprize that this bldg. is not going to build here in my city.

I have one question filled with sarcasm, what are they going to sell in the women section? Hahahaaa, they have to use a scarf and a long jacket all day, i mean they will have a special section only for scarfs or wathever their name is!!!!hahaa. By the way i am not against the iranian people which i like a lot, but their goverment. Just a joke anyway..

I participated in this competition, it was extremely difficult to get accurate information about the project site and context (especially for somebody who doesn’t speak the Iranian language) and the amount of information given out by the project organisers was very limited and insufficient, which is probably the reason why this presentation focuses completely on the building itself with very little of the context.

I also believe the right spell is Tehran not Teheran!

In my opinion before any design attempts it is necessary to study the site, location of it and its background culture,which it is not shown in this proposed design!
It is a building, which is standing on its own with no attachment or relations to surrounding. It is important to respect ones culture, the women in front with the burqah is a symbol of Arabic or Afghani Culture and it is not part of Persian culture.

Putting just a skin with islamic influenced ornaments, does not really looks like ‘iranian’. I have to agree with the last comment, it is not that corresponding to the environment.
Pretty ‘formal’ design, concerning that it is intended to be built not in some Graz in Austria, but in a different culture country.
Though a good work is done in finding a convenient inner structure.

when u see the 3D ucan undrestand the designer doesn’t know IRAN at all , he/she doesn’t know Iranian are PERSIAN nor Arabs.
so just good design in stereotyped way (just using islamic symbols)

I don’t think that the exterior 2 sketch is a fake at all, most especially if you’re quite good at sketching and have an idea with the dimensions. Also, it is posible to get that same angle in 3D, have sen it done many times.

the pattern looks Arabic to me, and I can’t recognize any cultural or local elements in it. and women in exterior1 are arabs as well.
but it sure is a nice concept
