Telecommunication Building (Tehran)

District 12, Iran

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

The Telecommunication Building in Tehran's District 12 is a concrete tower block completed in 1965 that exemplifies the modernist ambitions of Iran's Pahlavi era. Designed by architect Abdol Aziz Farmanfarmaian, the structure synthesizes brutalist and modern architectural principles through its bold use of exposed concrete. Serving as both an office and government building, it stands as a representative example of the architectural innovation that characterized Tehran's mid-century development under the Pahlavi dynasty.
