Semifinalists: Individual Dwellings — 17th Memar Award
Eight projects reached the semifinalist stage in the Individual Dwellings category of the 17th Memar Award (1396 / 2017) — works that did not advance to the finalist round but were judged by the jury as deserving public mention as among the year's most substantive single-family houses and villas in Iran. The eight span Yazd, Isfahan, Karaj, Bushehr, Firouzkooh, Natanz and the Karaj–Qazvin Road corridor. The byline and image grid below are reproduced from the original 17th Memar Award supplement (Memar 106, Mehr–Aban 1396).
