Aryamehr Islamic Center

The Aryamehr Islamic center is designed to satisfy a
spiritual need and at the same time to respect the
religious, cultural and national heritage of Iran.  Neither
a repetition of the past nor an imitation of conventional
modern design, it is composed of unusual forms and
spaces which together signify the unique aspects of a
House of God.

Low structures surrounding the dominant main mosque
and ceremonial hall contain a library and museum, a      
research and discussion hall, guest house and offices,
and a mausoleum.  Five minarets are placed to integrate
the  various forms and elements into a single
composition while at the same time symbolizing the five
saints and the five basic tenets of Islam.  The whole is

designed for the role of a religious center which will take
its historical place as the symbol of an era.
