School of Architecture

The National Conferences on Architectural Education have been held since 2002 with the aim of enhancing the quality of architectural education in the country. Every few years, these conferences are organized at the School of Architecture, College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, inviting professors and students of architecture to present their papers and share their professional perspectives.

In light of the unprecedented growth in the number of architectural education centers in the country — approximately 800 centers in public universities, Islamic Azad University branches, Payame Noor University, and non-profit private higher education institutes — the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Tehran, with over 75 years of experience in architectural education, has undertaken the responsibility of organizing this national conference.

Six editions of this conference have been held in the years 2002, 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, and 2017 under the leadership of Dr. Amir Saeid Mahmoodi as the conference secretary, resulting in the production of over 200 academic-research papers in various areas of architectural education in Iran. These gatherings and the sharing of educational experiences have not only been widely welcomed by architecture professors and researchers from across the country at the time of each event, but have also contributed to a rich and valuable body of literature for scholars in the field of architectural education.
