View Full Version : Azadi Square | Tehran, Iran
Matthieu December 19th, 2004, 08:02 PM Azadi Square, or freedom square. It's representing the fight of the Iranian people for their liberty.

Corrupted vote due to nationalism :)
Kampflamm December 19th, 2004, 08:43 PM Who built it?
Matthieu December 19th, 2004, 08:49 PM Who built it?
Good question, it was built in 1971 but I don't know who is the architect.

Kampflamm December 19th, 2004, 09:00 PM Good question, it was built in 1971 but I don't know who is the architect.
Well, you actually answered my question. I really only wanted to know whether the Shah or Khomeini built it.
Nick in Atlanta December 19th, 2004, 10:36 PM You can thank good ole Jimmy Carter for the loss of the Shah, the rise of the Ayatollahs and the year long kidnapping of American workers at the US Embassy in Tehran. The Shah was not a nice guy, with his Savak secret police, but far fewer people died under him than under Ayatollah Khomeini's squads of teenage soldiers who ran across Iraqi minefields, during the Iran-Iraq war, to clear them for real Iranian soldiers.
BulldozerGirl December 19th, 2004, 10:42 PM Hehehe. Funny post, Nick_in_Atlanta.
Matthieu December 20th, 2004, 09:07 AM Ok, thanks for sharing your opinion. Folks, just know I'll keep a special eye on this thread though.

Yeah, the shah sucked the blood out of the iranian people, but they were still alive and, most important of all, they were... free?!

Impf December 30th, 2004, 03:57 AM Yikes!
It's unique for sure..........but not pleasing to my taste. Not pleasing at all.
I'll give it a 5, but just for the sexual innuendo, which I'm sure was not intended. ;)

Hindustani June 25th, 2006, 08:41 PM 10/10. Azadi monument may be architecturally most creative monument in the world at present. BTW. Its by the same Parsi architect that designed and built the Lotus Temple in New Delhi.
