Works of Reza Moqtader

Born in 1931 in Tehran, Reza Moqtader graduated from Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris in 1956. His offices, Moqtader-Arkitekt (1960) and MODAM consultants (1967), designed major projects including the Tabriz master plan, Shiraz University Campus, and the Faculty of Agriculture of Tabriz University.

Faculty of Theology, Tehran University

A brutalist-influenced design featuring a strong brick mass with a distinctive perforated brick tower. The multi-story building combines horizontal window bands with solid brick walls, creating a rhythmic facade.

Ariana Cinema, Shiraz

A modernist building with a bold white facade and angular form reflecting mid-century Iranian civic architecture of the 1960s-1970s.

Caravansarai Hotel, Abadan (1974)

Features a curved colonnade creating a semi-circular arcade, evoking traditional caravansarai typology with modern construction.

Shiraz University Campus

The most ambitious undertaking: master plan with dormitories, sports complex, Agricultural Faculty, Medical Sciences Library, and observatory.

Other Works

Partow Apartments, Blood Center (Shiraz), Jamshidi house, Red Lion and Sun building (Tehran), MODAM office (Tehran), Ahwaz University Science Faculty, and Sanandaj Airport with its distinctive control tower.
