The valuable building of Heydar Ghayi’s residency is on the verge of demolition on Somayeh Street in Tehran.
The promine Iranian architect Heidar Ghaii has been erusted to the destructive razor on Somayeh Street after dozens of stretches and arches. The Foundation of the Oppressed also put this valuable building on its list of assignmes many years ago to create grounds for demolition.
Although the transfer was supposed to be a hotel and commercial use, the coemporary architecture activists of Tehran are now reporting the owner’s ieion to destroy the hotel. The Reside Hotel is also known as the Royal Reside Hotel, the Carlton Hotel or the Heydar Ghayi Residence. The building has maiained part of Tehran’s architectural history for decades and is part of Tehran’s coemporary architectural heritage.
Haidar Gholi Khan Ghayi Ghayi Shamloo, an architect and professor of the university, has left many memorials for Tehran, most of which are today. Haidar Gholi Khan is the designer and architect of the Senate building, cinema Mollenjeh and Radio Cinema, and his work has had a widespread impact on the architectural heritage of Tehran; Works that most of them were forgotten today or forgotten to destroy. Not much of a well -known radiocity cinema on Tehran’s Valiasr Street, the building of the Reside Hotel was in the eyes of curiosity for many years. The Reside Hotel, although the works of the Heidar Ghayi office were not known as the public, attracted the atteion of many passers -by Somayeh Street; A hotel that could easily rebuild and re -live, but this time they have provided the basis for the destruction of a valuable work in Tehran.
Again the auctions of the Mostazafan Foundation!
The Oppressed Foundation about 5 years ago Sherdang had advertised a 2 -square -meter business unit for a price of 2 billion tomans. The abandoned hotel for about four decades was part of the confiscation real estate, and on the other hand, it was not listed in the National Heritage List to keep the way to destroy it. Nearly a decade after that ad and multiple change of ownership of the building had begun to build the hotel for some time; However, the curre owner had claimed to be reconstructed. A reconstruction that is now feared to lead to complete demolition. With the demolition of this hotel in Tehran, another Ghayi monume in Tehran is destroyed, a work that has not even been technically and architecturally documeed to remain at least for the future.

The fro line of demolitions has come ahead
The demolition of valuable buildings in Tehran has been making a lot of noise for years, but the destructive blade is getting more win every time. In rece years, it has been attempted to show the importance of coemporary and modern architectural heritage for public opinion, especially governme executives, but it seems that managers who are easily destroying the Safavid and Qajar works seem to be destroyed even easier to cross these valuable buildings. They do. Soroush Mohajeri, an architect researcher about the demolition of this valuable hotel, tells Kajaru:
The Carleton Hotel or Residency is part of the ideity and symbols of Soraya Street (Somayeh). A building that has been abandoned for more than 5 years but is so valuable design and architecture that it still attracts passers -by. We have a few hotels built with world standards, but this hotel was not only standard but a few hotels that are a number of hotels that are a number of hotels. It has a remarkable shotgun.
The architect researcher considers Heydarghi a major architect in the coury and coinues:
It belongs to one of the most prestigious architectural offices in the coury. Had a small number of first -class modernist architects in the coury; The works made by these famous architects should not only be preserved, but these buildings must be a place for the history of a city and architectural history. The building has been one of the public works, and now the demolition of promine architects is creating new borders in destruction, and the fro line of demolition is so forward that the customist of a famous architect is destroyed easily under the razor blade.
Mohajeri also pois to the indifference of governme agencies in preserving valuable buildings, saying:
Tehran’s cultural heritage has also ideified the hotel building as a valuable building, but not only valuable to recognize a building that has no even national registration and is the owner’s hand to destroy. These days, as the whisper of the demolition of the building has been heard, Tehran’s cultural heritage does not respond. It should also be asked that the building is currely 2 floors; What permission did they have to build that is worth the demolition of this two -storey building?

Architects beside the city and the citizen
The silence of the architects is the other side of the story of destroying the coury’s valuable monumes. While the loader of coinuous destruction in various ways destroys the coury’s valuable architectural works; There is less of a protest from the community of architects. Society of Architects and some of the renowned architects of the coury today the ability to flow to preve itThey have things, but on the one hand some of them are unfamiliar with the architectural heritage, and on the other hand, they do not come to the conservation of architectural heritage for their personal ierests.
