Milad Tower
Phase II
Following the abandonment of the Zaha Hadid-designed competition winner, the 4-hectare site adjacent to Milad Tower had been in structural risk since 2015. The proposal responds with a ground-hugging complex of three interconnected programmes — world trade centre, hotel, and shopping — redistributing load across the terrain while preserving sightlines to the tower from all approaching highways.
Site Condition
The site converges on Hemmat, Hakim, Sheikh Fazlollah, and Yadegar-e-Emam highways. The existing retaining walls, installed for the cancelled Hadid scheme, were no longer able to sustain the Tower's lateral loads. Any proposal had to resolve this structural emergency before addressing programme.
Design Response
Three buildings of differing scales address the landscape's topographic variation. The hotel block serves the world trade centre; retail is accessible to both public and exclusive guests. A pedestrian bridge extends over Hemmat Highway to connect with Iran Zamin Park to the north.
