SHAHYAD MONUMENT TEHRAN, IRAN, COMPLETED 1971 ● This monument to represent the Persian civilization and culture through the ages strives to present a portrait of Persia's significant contributions to world history. The monument is centrally located in a large plaza, forming a symbollic entrance-complex for Tehran. The structure comprised four huge columns joined on top and forming four arches and sits in a plaza of fountains and landscaping patterned similarly to ancient Persian gardens. A foundation hall museum in the basement and two main exhibition halls on the upper floors are reached through the main entry level. The faceted dome covering the top floor is inspired by the traditional vaults in Persian buildings of the Islamic era. ● First Works: http://i3.tinypic.com/zldch5.jpg ● Hosein Amaanat: http://i18.tinypic.com/52ms1np.jpg ● More info about projects: http://www.amanatarchitect.com
