The City Theater of Tehran is a performing arts complex in the capital of Iran. It contains several performance spaces, including the halls of Cheharsou, Qashqai, Sayeh, the performance studio, and the main hall. The building is cylindrical, 34 meters in diameter and 15 meters high, and sits on a raised platform at the corner of Daneshjoo Park. Its exterior features turquoise tilework and brickwork in repeating geometric patterns derived from traditional Iranian motifs.

À ne pas manquer

  • The surrounding colonnade of elongated columns with three-pointed star-shaped cross-sections, supporting intersecting curved beams that create a projecting canopy.
  • Pointed arches that encircle the building beneath the canopy, with their apexes projecting beyond the main cylindrical body.
  • The semi-circular crown at the top of the structure, with serrated edging that adds visual emphasis to the mass.
  • The contrast between the enclosed interior and the openness of Daneshjoo Park, reinforced by the colonnade acting as a boundary element.
