Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults
D.A.Z., Architects & Planner
The headquarters building for the Institute for the
Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults,
whose centers and libraries operate throughout Iran,
will be located along the northernmost boundary of
Farahzad, the new urban sector in west of Tehran. 
The complex includes six office towers approached
through linking courtyards, a 700-seat auditorium
which functions in conjunction with recording and film
animation studios, extensive book storage facilities and
subterranean parking.  The deep valley on the site has
been utilized to avoid the sense of a tall, overpowering
structure, and emphasis has been placed on pedestrian
movement through the arrangement of plazas and
courtyards.
