Any artist's rendering of where you live in the West and the way you sorry yourself? government assistance?
Looks like very traditional Persian style architecture. Very nice.
It looks tacky!!! it's not PERSIAN at all. It looks Asian like from Thailand. Please stick to Persian architecture and something that goes with the rest of the city, not a mish mash like this. I hate it. Hire western educated architecture.
ha?
I guess you mean Architects, since western architecture would be hard to transport to Kish and would be very expensive and cumbersome. Would need dismantling and assembly, not to mention large shipping transports. LOL!
I meant Iranian architects that are western educated. Someone that understand Iranian history and Iranian architecture. This design looks over the top and very tacky. Doesn't look like it belongs in Iran . There is nothing Iranian about the design. If you look at the architecture in Paris, London, Moscow, Istanbul, etc they all follow their own design which gives their city distinct identity. Whereas Iran is just a mish mash of different designs in each city. No one in authority is making sure that the identity of each city is preserved. Keshvar sahab nadareh! Kish is a new city and it gives the authorities the opportunity to create an awesome city with it's own distinct identity , A Persian city in the Persian Gulf! But again Kish is also a mish mash of different designs and some are really tacky!!! It's just really disappointing to look at. We need simple yet elegant buildings not this piece of $HIT.
Let's not be that negative. Kish is being developed with only local or Iranian diaspora money. Let's keep in mind that Iran is under various types of sanctions and largely cut-off from international banking and finance. These projects show the ingenuity of Iranians, including architects. Iran is a fiercely independent nation and does not need "western" architects like Dubai, where they have ripped off the petro-pimps and turned it into a gaudy glass Disney World. BTW, Persian architects have dominated the region from Samarkand to the Taj Mahal in Agra for centuries.

No Iran doesn't need western Architects. But there are many Iranians that live outside Iran and are very well educated and have a good vision for Iran's future. We need better planners and we need to use the talent of these Iranians outside Iran. I love Iranian architecture, but none of Iran's cities like Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazad, Tehran, Kish even Qom have a distinct cultural identity. Look at cities like Paris, London, Barcelona, Moscow, Mumbai, even Istanbul all have distinct identity. Iran doesn't have this! We don't have architecture that is distinct for each city within Iran based on it's cultural history and values. Everything is a mish mash. In Iran anyone can build whatever they want without any regulation or city planning as long as they have money!Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
ha indeed! I missed the meaning of the government assistance rant? Please come back again with fries. Thanks.
Did you forget your anti-depression medication again!
I agree. Urban planning and design is not uniform or conducted on a proper planning and environmental sustainability basis. Perhaps, now with a less rigid government, Iranians in the diaspora will be more inclined to return home with their skills. I think all these social controls and rigid enforcement of Arab inspired dress codes and social mores has not helped much in attracting high calibre Iranian talent, whether architects, scientists, engineers or professionals. Corruption in city planning is another issue indeed.
The design is a little on the conservative side but I`ve seen far worse
@12:35 it looks soo tacky!
