Former Embassy of Iran in Washington D.C.
The Former Embassy of Iran in Washington, D.C. is located at 3003-3005 Massachusetts Avenue, in Washington, D.C.’s Embassy Row neighbourhood. Withdrawn, silent, and inaccessible it has been closed since the fall of the Shah, and the US embassy hostage crisis of 1979.
The lavish blue tile work, and mirrored ceilings of the interior are slowly crumbling. Only shadows move within the structure, as nature slowly reclaims it. The basic renovations enacted by the US government assist in preserving a partial ruin.

این بنا اکنون در مالکیت ایران است یا آمریکا؟
این بنا متعلق به ایران است و دولت ایالات متحده بر حق مالکیت ایران بر این بنا تاکید کرده است.
الان با همه ی این وسایل خالی از سکنه باقی مونده؟یا دیگه وسیله ای هم نیست؟چه معماری فوق العاده ای حیف
ببخشید جواب سوالم رو دیدم تو عکسها…
با سپاس از شما
تصاویر خیلی جالب بود
خوبه که اونها به حق مالکیت ما احترام گذاشتند
البته فکر کنم برای استفاده دوباره باید بازسازی بشه!
مرسی از این خوش بینیتون به صلح و آزادی
جالبه، در عکس نهم به زیبایی بر سبک زندگی ایرانی که زمینی تر از سبک غربیست، تأکید کرده. و طراحی رو بر اون اساس به بهترین وجه انجام داده.
