The Iranian government has announced the development of its uninhabited Persian Gulf islands in order to secure their territory against claims by neighboring Gulf States. On hearing of Teheran’s decision to develop these islands we decided to prepare and donate a pilot project, showing what a new traditional Iranian city of the future might look like if Tonb-e-Kochak, the smallest of the islands, were to be developed. We hope above all to stimulate discussion among Iranian authorities, professions, and citizens as to what the country’s future architecture and urbanism are to be.
