Designed by Hadi Teherani Office + Design Core , the second prize winning proposal for the Tehran Stock Exchange competition is an elegant and simple two-part structure. While the lower main structure is ten storeys high and hovers above the piazza, the 66-meter high building stands as a dominant design motif in the city. The cubature, as well as the ecological and building services concept, is based on the historic Iranian ‘wind-catcher’ which forms a traditional, Persian architectural element to support the natural ventilation of buildings to convey an optimized state of the art technology. More images and architects’ description after the break.

The two-storey-high Exchange Hall towers majestically, separated by a public observation platform – the “Sky Garden” – for the people of Tehran. The new Tehran Stock Exchange is distinguishable by its urban planning scale and its differentiated appearance. The support-free entrance level (Piazza) on the ground floor is unique and appropriate to its utilization, with its water features, footbridges and an upwards rotating feature void, the character of which is reminiscent of the historic domes of some of the magnificent Iranian traditional public buildings.
