The Project for Baharestan complex emphasizes the historic significance of Baharestan square and surrounding gardens while addressing its present deficiencies.

Ideas concerning these deficiencies formed the configuration of the proposal. In order to activate the square as the spatial center of the complex and to enable it to establish proper spatial relationship with neighboring buildings and spaces, we have altered the proportions of the square: The square expands north, towards the Planning and Budget complex.

By eliminating the buildings between the square and the Planning and Budget complex, direct relationship between these two is established. This expansion would amplify the presence of the city council building by rendering it more visible. Spatially the square expands towards east and penetrates the parliament site- the zone comprising two small Qajar buildings. This would strengthen the spatial connectivity of parliament site and the square.

It should be noted that the east expansion happens merely spatially and visually: in terms of a green platform, which seems as extension of the square so that the territory of parliament remains the same. By expansion of southern part of the square and by revitalizing Bagh-e-Nezamieh (Nezamieh garden) in its previous location, the western wing of Shahid Motahari School finds proper ambient space, and its visual-spatial relation to the square is enhanced.

Also the revival of Bagh-e-Baharestan (Baharestan garden) as a public garden, while amplifying the historic atmosphere, adds to functional variety of Baharestan complex, which mostly contains governmental, clerical, and religious functions. In order to solve the traffic problem, a driving loop has been devised around the complex. Relying on this access, that part of Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Street that passes Baharestan complex is transformed into Pedestrian Boulevard with limited ceremonial access.
This would amend the spatial interruption between parliament complex and the surrounding buildings and brings about spatial continuity.
