Biryanak Metro Plaza, a public space project by Ashrafi & Zad, has been nominated for ArchDaily’s Building of the Year Award 2025 in the Public & Landscape Architecture category.
Located in Tehran above the Biryanak metro station, the 8,500 m² plaza transforms a challenging urban site between a busy highway and a dense residential neighbourhood into a vibrant community hub, addressing sound pollution, accessibility, and social interaction through thoughtful design.
The project’s strategic integration of green spaces, multifunctional public areas, and community‑oriented elements highlights its contribution to urban life and makes it a standout example of contemporary public architecture.
