Designed by Italian architect and industrial designer Giovanni Ponti (1891-1979), one of the leading figures of Postwar Italian modernism, the Villa Namāzi (Namazee) is one of several significant modernist architectural gems in Tehran threatened with demolition.

In Jules Verne’s ‘Les Cinq cents millions de la Bégum’ (translated as The Begum’s Fortune, 1872), utopianism clashes with dystopianism as two cities face off: Stahlstadt, a fortified, militant mining complex ruled by a fascist tyrant versus Ville-France, a more or less social-democratic community. In the end, Stahlstadt threatens to annihilate Ville-France with a new super-cannon but instead succumbs when the tyrant is accidentally killed by one of his own newfangled weapons. The book has been seen as a premonition of dangerous technologies (such as nuclear weapons) and the rise of Nazism, but it was actually written as a reflection on the fall of the Paris Commune. In fact, it was based on a manuscript by the Corsican revolutionary and historian of the Commune, Paschal Grousset.

ESKAN TOWERS / TEHRAN
Intended as luxury apartments, the giant Eskan Towers project was initiated by the Pahlavi Foundation (under the Shah) in 1972 and completed by 1976, shortly before the revolution broke out. The contractor was Solel Boneh, an Israeli company associated with the Zionist trade union Histadrut, and the chief architect Moshe Bashan.
