Gorgeous. So much better looking than any new buildings I've seen in the US in recent memory.

I think so too.
Gorgeous
That is not a word that ever comes to mind for me when I think of new buildings in the US. Some words that I think of are bland, unfortunate, or ugly.
I must've mistated. New buildings in the US are fucking disgusting.
I really like the organic looking facade of the bottom one.
Those are very nice. All that gets built by me is big grey glass buildings and small grey glass buildings.
Ty for sharing these are beautiful
I loathe most architecture in the United States now. It seems to have really gone downhill after the 70s, I'm blaming neoliberalism.
1/3 look a lot better than 2/4
oh i am into that. love me bricks.
those are some nice ass houses
Masons/bricklayers are the better architects.
high income neighborhoods have apartments like these, but also got some gaudy tasteless roman design alongside dilapidated housing of old people that got trapped in there when their neighbourhood got gentrified and can't afford renovation. iranian towns basically have no zoning laws and the ones that are there can be bypassed by bribing some official or another, so everyone just builds whatever they like/can afford/think sells best. the cities are ugly as sin but i guess it's better than 12 lanes of asphalt.
EDIT: Tehran also has a lot of highways running through it i meant all development is mostly dense. there's really no such thing as a suburb since it's basically wasted value. soviet blocks are the most common type of housing since it offers most value per square meter of land.
You can tell a country is evil when they don't allow a cartel of cardboard modernists the freedom to control all new construction
