CAAT Studio Architecture shared with us their design for a media complex located in the main cultural zone of Tehran. Their goal is to show that the human itself, acts as a media in the project. During the day, the presence of humans can make the project alive by moving towards different parts of it such as amphitheatre on the roof and other spaces. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The Abbas-Abad hill is one of four beautiful hills placed in the Tehran foothills of Albourz mountain. These lands are important for their special location. There, you can access three main area highways which are Hemmat, Modarres, Resalat and also Africa boulevard. Also, a rich green area and surrounding parks have influenced this zone to be known as the lungs of Tehran. The Abo-Atash park is angled in the north-east side of the site. The land dimension is about 32,400 m, and it has north-south steep. Under the existing regulations 10 to 15 % of the land can be structured which is estimated about 4000 m.
