Project Outline


Kayson has designed and built numerous projects in Tehran metropolis in the past two decades, thus making a significant contribution to the development of the city's vital infrastructures. Examples include Imam Khomeini International Airport, Yadegar Imam Elevated Highway & Commercial Complex, Amir Kabir Underground Motorway, Afsarieh Cloverleaf Interchange, Navab Residential Housing Complex, etc. Our guiding principle in building all those projects was to serve the community and promote win-win-win relationships. Our triple win formula is designed to bring into play the most critical element of the relationship- the society.

In concert with its core values ("respecting people and valuing time"), Kayson aims to build a magnificent and enduring complex in less than two years which will serve the educational and cultural needs of future generations in decades to come. It should be pointed out that initially the project's construction time had been estimated at 3-4 years.

The vast and densely populated Tehran metropolis, with its great cultural heritage, desperately needed a permanent center that would provide a meeting ground for publishers, writers, artists and all those who endeavor to preserve, develop, promote, and disseminate the great culture of the Iranian people. Kayson is determined to make Tehran Book Garden a lasting symbol of its unflinching commitment to improving the quality of life by building a cultural center that would enable Tehran residents to experience entertainment, embrace knowledge, and dream beyond the world they know.

The complex of buildings that makes up the Tehran Book Garden consists of four blocks:

§

● Block A (the Northern blocks), including blocks A1 to A4.

● Block B (culture axis)

● Block C (the Central blocks), comprising blocks C1 to C4 (C4 is named “the Book Valley").

● Block D (the Southern blocks), including blocks D1 to D4.

The buildings situated in the Northern and Southern parts of the complex will be used for exhibition, while buildings located in the center will be devoted to auditorium, restaurant, temporary exhibition, office space, kitchen, mechanical room, warehouse and parking.
