This space is a cultural center inspired by Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, with its most famous story being the Seven Labors of Rostam. The main building design incorporates symbolic numbers from the Shahnameh (7, 4, 2, and 1). In the site plan, the Seven Labors of Rostam are represented spatially to create an experience where visitors can symbolically go through Rostam’s challenges as they explore the cultural center. The design extensively incorporates elements of Iranian architecture, such as the central courtyard, Persian garden, Iranian arches, and more.
