Our Legacy for the Future Children: The Jungle We Made

Fifteen years ago, when I was talking to an old and dear friend who I consider one of the best architects in Iran, I said: "We are responsible and have a mission, and I must say that not only have we failed in this path, but many of us are the greatest traitors to humanity."

My good friend became angry and could not bear these words.

This video shows a corner of the irresponsibility of us architects and urban planners. Instead of creating beauty and peace, we have built forests of concrete and tall buildings. Forests that we think will collapse one day by our own hands and out of necessity."Design is a process that ends in an event, the origin of every new idea. It is like writing a novel: You start with a blank page, a vague feeling, and let the story grow in your mind until it comes alive. Design cannot be forced; it matures in the silence of the night and is revealed at dawn.
