The project site is located in Karaj, the capital of Alborz Province, Iran, and is effectively a suburb of Tehran. The city does not have an independent identity. Therefore, the main question is what is the concept of a cultural building to make an identity for a city? Hence, The project’s idea should be considered not just as a single building but beyond it and as an urban project. Karaj was known for its fair and fine weather and had numerous private and public gardens. Thus, the idea for developing the project inevitably should be compatible with the land and the city’s gardens which were destroyed during over-construction. It should be noted that the project site is an area surrounded by old gardens and a public park in the city centre.

The main concept for this project was extending the natural scenery of the surrounding gardens and parks into the project and connecting the project to the land; thus, we can consider it as an object growing from the project’s site. The location that people can go up and observe the city events.
