This little office has made Tehran proud.

Vali Asr Commercial Office Building, Iran wins World’s Best Office Building at World Architecture Festival Awards 2010

- ‘It is a jewel of a building within an intense urban environment’ -

Vali-Asr Commercial Office Building, Iran, designed by Kelvan, Iran has won the ‘World’s Best Office Building’ award at the prestigious World Architecture Festival Awards (WAF Awards) 2010.

The two-storey commercial office building, located in a busy retail district in Tehran, is finished with a contrast of black and white longitudinally cut stones of Brazilian marble.

The presentation of the WAF Awards is taking place during the biggest global celebration of architecture - the World Architecture Festival, which is being held at the Centre Convencions International Barcelona (CCIB) this week.

It was chosen by some of the world’s most distinguished architects and renowned industry experts, beating off competition from a shortlist of 16 entries.

The jury said: “This small, highly refined project provides a sophisticated response to its urban context, and a surprising and intelligently crafted treatment of its principal material - marble - on both external and internal facades. This is jewel of a building within an intense urban environment.”

Speaking at the WAF Awards 2010 Paul Finch, WAF Programme Director, said: “World Architecture Festival brings international architecture to the forefront, against the backdrop of Barcelona’s breathtaking architecture. Yet again we received a huge response to the fiercely contested WAF Awards, with over 500 entries from 61 different countries. The geographical range and quality of this year’s designs were exceptionally high, with a great deal of entries from “new” economies, both by local architects and international practices. Our congratulations go to the winners for a project that is truly exceptional.”

The WAF Awards see unsung local buildings take on internationally acclaimed projects in what is the world’s biggest architecture contest. Unlike other architectural competitions, architects present their work in front of leading industry judges and a live public audience as they compete for the accolade of ‘World Building of the Year’.

This is the 3rd year the World Architecture Festival Awards have been presented. Previous winners include ‘World Building of the Year 2008’ - Luigi Bocconi University, Milan, designed by Irish practice Grafton Architects and ‘World Building of the Year 2009’ - Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in South Africa, designed by Peter Rich Architects of Johannesburg.

Beautiful apartment block in Sari, Mazandaran. These style of building is really popular in Sari, and I think in most Iranian cities too.

nice apartement in sari, although its not contemporary, its still nice

I would rather the building was completely blank and unadorned than with these silly frills you see on most new Iranian apartment buildings. Some of the modern architecture posted here is really good though!

^ one of my favorite buildings, i love the inside

Ok so we need more, I was in a taxi one night near golhak I think it was?! And I saw either a new villa style minimalist building or renovated one. My god it was the most beautiful building I have ever seen in the world. The proportions were just right plus the old tree in the garden was nice softening the edges of the building.

I think Iranians have some of the weirdest tastes in architecture around the globe.

these designs are amazing. There is nothing weird about them.

why do they always use cheap materials to construct?!!

Bigger profits, lack of safety protocols, and the sanctions.

because it is iran and we are iranians.

this sanction-shit is an iranian excuse. it is all because of iran and being iranians. the whole region is fucked up, arabs, armenians, pakis etc. are backwards as we are, lazy as we are, etc.

dude please first of all stop generalizing second of all lazy ?! i think you mean lack of strong management and Iranians are not backward, mullahs are yes and about the region i could not care less about other countries they are not comparable to us just take a trip to kashan or isfahan you understand what i`m talkin' about

and why not having a strong management? why don't we have it?

what is going on in kashan and esfahan?

and why not having a strong management? why don't we have it?

what is going on in kashan and esfahan?

because they don`t care about the country, and about kashan and isfahan, i`m talking about the backward part just take a look at those cities look at buildings, look at the beautiful culture and civilization anyway please go back on topic

this sanction-shit is an iranian excuse. it is all because of iran and being iranians. the whole region is fucked up, arabs, armenians, pakis etc. are backwards as we are, lazy as we are, etc.

on one hand u say "oh americans and westerners hate us and put sanctions on us so we are so miserable" and on one hand u say sanctions are an excuse? u make no sense

I am saying sanctions make us stronger. This is a fact. It hurts but it makes us stronger in a long term. I am not mixing anything like u are saying.

Ardeshir8. You mate have got issues and need to go see the doctor.

I think he's a teenager who has been reading far too much Press TV.

Ghalat kardam harf zadam vallah, bebin chi shod, but yes I agree with everyone except from Ardeshir, and don't come up with stay on topic people while you're the one who's going always off topic with your nonsense, we are not lazy and backwards, if you really think that about your own culture, people and country, well than you're not an Iranian and a true shame on the Iranian soil!

Huh? Was that for me?

There are a few more there. But you have to search for them amongst stuff designed by Iranian architects for other countries.

thanks. like the bus terminal.

Where is Shihin Shahr located?
Man even in tehran we dont have bus stations like this.I hope the new terminal eshargh will have some nice architecture

I think it will be amazing if i see this design in real
Good effort.

Shahin Shahr is 24km north of Isfahan. The current population is approximately 180,000, the first planned city in Iran which settled displaced Khuzestanis during the war. The city is ethnically diverse with many Arabs and Armenians, has a large well paid middle class community with many working in the Oil, Aerospace and Arms industries and is renowned in all of Iran as having exellent educational facilities.

Do you have a source for that? Never heared of Arabs in Esfahan.

Actually I know someone who has been replaced because of the reason mentioned from khuzistan province to Isfahan city.Even though he can't speak Arabic properly now

Interesting to see that Khouzestan now has a population of 5 million. Seems like a lot of people went back. I also heard that a lot of Iranian-Arabs are assilmiated into mainstream Iranian culture.

one amazing Supermarket :)

That Isfahan cultural center looks beautiful.
A very well done fusion of modern and ancient Safavid architecture.

the last one isnt contemporary
its childish hideous monstrosity style
architecture
the first is nice but more traditional looking
linkam bezar

mina building in tehran, it replaced an ugly building, redevelopment

look how simple, yet beautiful it is, why build some of that hideous crap in iran when u can do this ?


Because quite frankly in Iran (and other countries) private developers and owners only care about money or if they do, they have poor taste.
They either want flashy, or cheap.

yea
but i mean alot of these structures arent overly expensive and many might even be cheaper to construct
the city council also doesnt give a sh*t

The second one is cool. :)

sorry got it from an email, no link!

lovely design.

Wow! If Bank Mellat goes ahead with this design on all its branches after this trial study then its really going to make a huge impact on Iranian streets (imagine 3000 of these!). Maybe it could force a wider acceptance and usage of contemporary architecture in Iran.

^^ its not that contemporary architecture isnt accepted, its that the municipality and architects dont know how to make good pieces of contemporary architecture

what is sadly not accepted is traditional architecture, people think its backwards :bash:

Wow, it looks so natural, just like it was built in a forest. :applause:

Great stuff, i really like it:cheers:

Beautiful... Especially the way they have incorporated the green areas and the trees in the building. A place you would like to live in...

This one's not too "outside the box" but it looks like the perfect 5 storey Tehran apartment. The building's name is Baharan, located in the Velenjak neighbourhood.

OMG Shapoor is back!!! :banana:

sadly, the amazing snack bar in esfahan has been destroyed, one of the people says (who lived there and has been in the area) that the place has been torn down and cleaned up since it was too much of a hangout place for youngsters and you know what that leads to, shame, this was such a nice piece
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/s720x720/251956_423268181056775_1602520619_n.jpg

WTF!:mad2: What stupid F'ing idiots!! As if it was the snack bar's fault for looking too modern that young people hooked up there. As if they won't hook up somewhere else now. And what was the crime of the snack bar anyway!? Looking too cool while selling snacks!? If they broke some law then why not just close it? Why send in a F'ing bulldozer? Actually I don't want to understand. I just wish whoever did this, cancer or a heart attack.

i know, it makes absolutely no sense, funny thing is that the design got an award and the facade was chosen as a modern art heritage in esfahan

i really dont understand the need to ruin the facade, just change the god dam n function of the building if a tea house is that irritating for the f'n authorities

lol i was about to post that
its amazing, but the surroundings really need work , way to run down and dirty
i hope that design triggers something there

Is it an office?

a store

Where's Najafabad? Outskirts of Isfahan right?

That's such a weird place for that store lol
Looks great, but I doubt it will do anything for the area. The road is unpaved for god's sake lmao

Didn't know we still had unpaved roads.

hahahaha i love it! its like the prada concept store in the middle of the nervada desert! hahahah its really amusing with those chadories infront!

people who make/design these are the same ones who SHOULD be doing urban planning at least in terms of building design

iran would become better in terms of cities 10 fold in a matter of a decade

Maybe I am mistaking but it seems this contemporary house are for rich people. I hope they will be more of these things (maybe less luxuous) for normal people.

Maybe I am mistaking but it seems this contemporary house are for rich people. I hope they will be more of these things (maybe less luxuous) for normal people.

As you say, the avg person isn't going to dish out on luxuries like imported cherry hardwood etc... You can easily build a modern house with what's available in Iran. I would personally use a lot of marble as it's relatively cheap in Iran, but I would go with the best kind. Here marble is expensive as hell, not so in Iran. Or if you want you can go super modern and build everything out of concrete. All people need is a little taste and imagination. Most of the pre-rev ppl have NO taste. Think about your fathers for a second :lol: (of course all over the world people think their parents are dorks, but in Iran the divide is a lot more noticiable b/c the post rev kids are Westernized and ever since the internet came, kids are even more in touch with the rest of the world).

The shit rectangular brick prisons the avg guy calls home will hopefully go away in future generations as younger people start building their own homes.

yea
modern needs to become a bit more mainstream
less "lux", afterall, modernism is supposed to ve for the masses

^^ Lovely :)

Weird how Iranian buildings look better than Khaleeji buildings despite embargoes. It's supposed to be easier for us to build good things yet we end up with the shitty buildings lol.

funnier is that many of the firms designing buildings in the persian gulf countries are foreign firms, while these here are all from iranian architects

Why are you being like that? The guy said something nice.

Most Iranian buildings don't look like this. Very little attention has gone into the aesthetics usually, and half the time, if they have really thought about it, you wish they hadn't. :( Take a look around some other threads.

^^
:applause:

Be nice people and think twice before you write on these forums.

i didnt mean to be mean!! gosh! i thought i was nice! how did that even sound mean

if u think i offended anyone im sorry lol, i dont know why that wasnt nice

infact, im blaming the poor architecture on foreign firms, rather than the arab ones! cmon, im lifting the blame


and i agree herbicide

these buildings make up .5% of iran, the other .5 are historic and the remaining 99% .....

i didnt mean to be mean!! gosh! i thought i was nice! how did that even sound mean

if u think i offended anyone im sorry lol, i dont know why that wasnt nice

infact, im blaming the poor architecture on foreign firms, rather than the arab ones! cmon, im lifting the blame
Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought it was out of character for you. :)

I think it will get better. I think the people who are responsible for the worst buildings are mostly less educated, over fifties generation men with absolutely no taste. They will probably tell the architect exactly what they want: "I want something that shows real wealth, class and culture, you know all fancy white Greco-Roman pillars and stuff like on that building over there. But also I want it kind of modern to show that we are very forward thinking and stuff, so combine it with lots of that shiny aluminium cladding and mirrored glass stuff like on the front of that building. Yeah that's what I want! Can you do that!?" :D
Architect: "Sigh. I suppose so..":(

Hopefully younger generations of university educated men and women as they become more established will have better taste, find what they like in contemporary and simple styles, get an architect that they like and let them have more freedom. Also people are going to get sick of what they see all the time and the styles will change. I think today's unfortunate trend is a reaction against growing up amongst grey, modernist, sixties and seventies buildings and cheap, unattractive, humble, brick buildings with no style.

u need heavy restructions by the municipality

dont forget many of irans top architects were and still are "over 50s", infact ,any of these peojects are still by older architects like farmarz sharifi

not to mention the likes of farmanfarmayan, kamran diba etc

after the rev when city planning and urban planning etc went down the drain , the current monstrosity happened

the transition generation is mostly to blame, not the older one
i dont evn know what garbage they were taught in the 80s and 90s lol

Weird how Iranian buildings look better than Khaleeji buildings despite embargoes. It's supposed to be easier for us to build good things yet we end up with the shitty buildings lol.

I don't agree. look to UAE or qatar's building and all the ugly aluminiums towers or building in iran. Except very very few exception, there is a big difference between gulf's countries and iran

^^

I don't like the buildings in the gulf either they are too big and to catchy in my opinion...

the whole region is messed lol

personally i think doha has many nice buildings, and dubai has some good ones and some bad , 50/50

what urbastar said is sadly true though, these buildings make up almost 1% of all of iran

well they just spent their money on fancy and useless building, but they're not technically a country, a nation that provide and create, educate people to do things by themselves, they're just there to buy others people stuffs.
we won't wanna be like that.
we matter.

Tehran is a wierd city.Islamic-western-iranic-modern-traditional
but the Khatami time was the best time in Irans history.
So many brains were returning-so much investment taking place.
So many good managers working and bringing new ideas and concepts.It was irans golden time!
uffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

but the Khatami time was the best time in Irans history.
