Modernity quickly invaded the history and culture of Iranian architecture. And during this period of transition, some buildings suffered a strange condition. They combined the previous nature with modern signs and what emerged was an Iranian grotesque. But beauty was the dominant element. What was not destroyed and digested plastic, metal and modern signs. This collection was photographed in Isfahan and its surroundings and refers to its texture and historical buildings.
