À propos de cette édition

The tenth edition of the Memar Award marked a turning point as the final chapter of the award's first decade. For the first time, the jury consisted entirely of five prominent Iranian architects practicing abroad: Hadi Tehrani (Hamburg), Nader Tehrani (MIT/Boston), Gisue and Mojgan Hariri (New York), and Nasrin Seraji (Paris/Vienna). This unique composition brought an international perspective to the evaluation of Iranian contemporary architecture, resulting in selections that surprised many by emphasizing cultural heritage preservation and renovation alongside new construction. With 144 submissions — a record high — the results sparked productive debate about the direction of Iranian architecture. The jury identified key architectural trends including clear volumetric expression, reduced quality gaps between Tehran and provincial cities, innovative use of traditional and modern materials, and increased attention to sustainability.
