Likeable pictures as always. We appreciate them, Mark.
ReplyDeletegee, wouldn't everyone here who enjoys construction project photos really love to see pictures of all of Iran's new nuclear power plants being built so that we all could see why Iran needs to refine so much uranium...... for civilian use?
ReplyDeletewhy aren't photos of all the new power plants featured by the fanboy?
Are we supposed to be proud of these soviet-era style tower block monstrosities?
ReplyDeleteNo imagination,no vision and no creativity. Iranians are well known for their rich cultural heritage of art, architecture and creative capacity. These soulless concrete monstrosities don't lives up to that reputation
Couldn't disagree with you.These building are horrible and soulless and lack any imagination and design.Compare them to some of the earlier designs in Ardabil.
DeleteIt is really disappointing that when it comes to low income people taste walks out of the other door. These buildings are hideous but not uncharacteristic of government-sponsored projects for low income people. When they want to build something nice, they know how to do it. Look at the Central Bank's architecture in Tehran, it is quite beautiful. Or, the department of Energy's new building at the north end of Kurdistan Highway facing the beautiful Mellat Cinema Complex. It is really sad and disappointing to see that Iran is becoming on a daily basis a better place for the rich to live in and more and more hostile and dark for the poor. The revolution was supposed to undo this.
DeleteWhat are you all smoking? Have you been to some of the projects in the u.s.? Its a 100 times worse...eesign, quality, you name it! What do u want them to do? You want them to build the poor the gorge of dubai? Boro jamesh kon baba! Housing projects in general should only have one function....to proviee shelter. Next time I will tell ali agha to do a half circle windows and doors ke shoma aghaian razi basheen! Lol
DeleteThat is not a good excuse. The US has the highest civilian gun violence. Should we have the same in Iran? Who said that the US is the scale against which we should measure Iran's performance. Also, US housing policies are more diffused than what you think. For example New York has a quite progressive model for low income housing, where the low income are dispersed in apartment housings without residents being able to identify them or block them off / geometrize them into segregated units.
DeleteIt can still be improved.. make it beautiful through landscaping.
