Academies of Islamic Republic of Iran
Tehran-Iran 1994
According to the program, the building consists of two main parts: the academies and the complex of conference buildings in addition to a complementary part. The overall area of the project is about 5500 square meters.
The complex of academies includes the academies of Persian language and literature, the academy of science and the academy of medicine and also a library that serves the academies.
The most important features taken in to account for the design of this project are as fallows:

a. Condensing the building mass in order to free the land as much as possible
b. Innovative deployment of principals and patterns of Iranian historic architecture
c. Unity and coherency in expression
d. Respect for the ground
e. Compliance with historical angel and Damavand

The comprising elements of the project are: the Entrance space, the Platform (soffe), central courtyard, the dome over the conference complex, the wall of the academies building and a part of the natural topography that deliberately protrudes from the platform. The combination of natural and man-made elements adds to the spatial appeal of the complex.
Among the 18 participants of the competition held for designing this project, this proposal won the first prize.
