Villa Dialogue, Iranian Architects "part one"
18 June 2022
In an era of constant hustle and urban stressful lifestyle, the populace seeks tranquillity in villa settlements. This phenomenon has commenced an invasion of the natural environment by incompetent architects with shoddy quality, while capable Iranian architects can provide contextual solutions to this ever-increasing demand.
The discourse in this issue of Villa magazine tries to re-iterate the fore-mentioned need in the language of architecture and manifest the ideas of architectural pundits. Each villa introduced in this issue exemplifies the approach of these architects toward a specific problem and project. The logic behind selecting the unbuilt type of villas is to break free from constructional limits in expressing a forward-looking manifesto.
