Was Goldis tower designed by Richard Rogers?

Isoboy, are you sure that Flower of the East is in Iran?
It's just that there seems to be boats and people enjoying themselves in the forground and I thought that was illegal in Iran.

It's funny how you get a stereotypical idea in your head about what a place looks like.
Thanks for posting the great site Persian, I never realized Iran had places like this.

Has any progress been made?

So you mean on Flower of the East hotel? It's meant to be complete in 2010.
