Mountain of Teheran An abstraction of a mountain rising in the center of the city Teheran's is the capital city of Iran and is situated in the north part of the country, just beside the impressive Alborz Mountains. Our vision was to create a fusion between mountain and building, a design which would be modern in its shape, but still relate to the single most powerful element in Teheran, the mountains. We also wanted to create version of the tradi- tional Mideast courtyard, but refroze it and fit it into a modern galleries, office and apartment building. The result was the crack that splits up the building in the southeast and reveals the inner room which is open to the sky. The struc- ture has a total transparency against this space and all offices has an overview over the the space and can lock down on people shopping or moving between the different floors in the trans- parent elevator.
