Tehran Plaque-to-Plaque: Ongoing Demands in the Path of Protecting Architecture and Urban Heritage

The ongoing subjects and demands pursued by the “Tehran Number by Number” Study Group are as follows:

  • Demanding the establishment of the “Tehran Architecture Museum” as the official base for Tehran’s dynamic building database with accessibility for Tehran researchers.
  • Demanding the establishment of a documentation guideline for Tehran’s buildings with the participation of owners, aiming to create a dynamic and publicly accessible database of Tehran’s structures.
  • Demanding that urban management acknowledge the necessity of documenting Tehran’s buildings (both valuable and non-valuable ones).
  • Demanding the updating of registration files and dossiers for Tehran’s buildings.
  • Demanding the official recognition of modern architectural heritage as valuable heritage, along with the necessity of addressing theoretical foundations, specialized literature, identification-intervention frameworks, and regeneration methods.
  • Following up on the implementation of the second phase of the project “Identification of Tehran’s Contemporary Valuable Buildings (2022)”, which includes: updating the database of valuable buildings in each district, fulfilling 25 registration dossiers for modern architectural monuments (each representing one of the themes and challenges of modern architecture), and establishing the proposed institutions and structures of the project.
  • Following up on the cancellation of the demolition and reconstruction permit for the Mirdamadi House, a work by Paul Abkar.
