Iranian Architecture : Buildings

Key Contemporary Architectural Developments in Tehran area, Asia



Architecture in Iran

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Iranian Architecture. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Iran. The focus is on contemporary Iranian buildings but information on traditional Iranian buildings is also welcome.

We have 2 pages of Iranian Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
