About
A rhythmic roof of concrete beautifully poured on the site culminates the transformation of an old brewery into the home of the Iranian capital’s first independent museum. Elaborately bonded walls complete and enhance the remains of a 1920s manufacturing complex that had languished since the prohibition in Iran, during the Islamic Revolution, on producing alcoholic beverages.
