I Draw Tehran with ink-pen on paper, study its shape and architecture, public new places, or abandoned old houses!

Tabiat Bridge: a modern public structure, connecting two parks
A pedestrian walkway bridge with a super modern shape and structure, connecting two parks. This monument is a very recent symbol of Tehran and it’s now more open society!
BRT bus station: curled canopy outstands the older grid like geometry
New furnitures avoid the previous perpendicular and orthogonal geometry.
Darvak Cafe: where I sit, drink, think, and watch my beautiful girlfriend!
A very nice midtown cafe. I drink my coffee here sometimes 10 times a week! the staff are great and people are lovely there!
Cafe Darvak: the mezzanine views the best out of the sun in the east!
Same cafe viewed from above.
a semi-high-rise in Midtown Tehran: cut corners attract my attention
Most buildings in Tehran’s crossings are cut cornered. This one is old, dull, and sad maybe: but I like it.
Tejarat Bank Headquarters: a modernist 60’s highrise reflecting the city on it’s glazed skirt
I love modernism. This modernist high-rise reflects the other building on its glazed skirt and it reminds me of things I’ve read about how modern art reflects reality in different ways. Many different ways!
a 50 years old apartment block: brick and exposed steel structure
lovely old building. Gorgeous middle-aged people live there, as far as I’ve seen them while passing by the entrance!
grotesque or gothic: people buy golds and diamonds here, I just pass by it
Scary! Since I was a child, I’ve always been scared of this triangled, solid, nasty and freaky piece of building!
an old modernist house, now a hostel in Midtown Tehran
An old house put to good use: a hostel now.
open space amphitheatre: Tehran is now welcoming open public spaces!
a cafe in Midtown Tehran: where hipsters go and I don’t!
a brutalist apartment block: I love watching its brickwork and exposed steel frames
Cafe de Paris: where night is beautiful outside, and the view is great
