Tehran’s Amirabad Neighbourhood (2012)
“Amirabad is the neighbourhood that I have lived in more than any other place in Tehran.” says the photographer, Roozbeh Shahrestani. “These two sets of photographs are actually more than a personal report; it is a personal time travel to a relatively distant past by wandering along streets and alleys of this district of the city.”
What can be seen on the rooftops in Tehran?
In the last century the rooftops of the houses along with the lifestyle of Iranians have changed.
Niches and shelves are still a very important part of the style in older homes in town and villages in Iran. They not only have a functional role to hold and store objects but also are used to display interests and beliefs of the owners.

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 Withdrawn, silent, and inaccessible it has been closed since the fall of the Shah, and the US embassy hostage crisis of 1979.
Today’s architecture and design of mosques in Iran is becoming simpler and less elaborate than before. Most of these new mosques look more like half-built structures and are vaguely reminiscent of the glorious mosques of the past. Green is the dominant colour used in the majority of these contemporary mosques.
