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
