Italian magazine to issue special booklet entirely dedicated to Iran

The renowned Italian magazine on architecture and design Domus is about to issue a special booklet entirely dedicated to Iran and specifically to the “Domus Eyes on Iran” project by the Italian Embassy in Tehran.

Iran PressEurope: The booklet, which will be attached to the November issue of Domus magazine and distributed in 89 countries for an expected total of 50,000 copies, has been presented on the occasion of an exclusive event which took place in the "Villa Namazee" Gardens. 

Villa Namazee is a residential building located in the Niavaran district of North Tehran, designed by the great Italian architect Gio' Ponti between the 1950s and the 1960s. It is in fact one of only three residential buildings (the other two being in Venezuela) designed by Gio' Ponti, existing outside of Europe. 

The booklet on "Domus Eyes on Iran" is the outcome of a high-profile initiative aiming to highlight the unique role played in the last 70 years by Iranian architecture and design on the world stage and the successful cooperation established with Italian architects. 

The initiative features ten episodes that bring viewers back in time to discover the main stories featuring Iran published by Domus magazine over the last seven decades.

Each episode focuses on a different work realized in Iran by Iranian or Italian architects and designers, thereby highlighting the importance of Iran in the history of modern architecture and design and its continuous and fruitful relationship with Italy.
