Media Complex, Tehran, Iran by CAAT Studio Architecture

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.

“It doesn't matter how green the building is, if people haven’t adopted it, and if it doesn't resonate with the psyche of the community, it may not have a very long life.”
