Tehran.Life within walls: A city, its territory, ans forms of dwelling

Life in Tehran proliferates and thrives in its interiors. When public space is policed and controlled, domestic interiors become art galleries, clubs, cultural centers, factories and offices. Interiors cease to be the exclusive domain for individual life and family matters, homes become the spaces in which new forms of collective life are explored and nurtured, and the battleground for social conflicts and political constituencies.
