Achaemenid architecture in modern architecture – King Reza

With the coming of Reza Shah and the need to set up modern institutions such as banks, justice, government offices and the like, a new type of architecture emerged.. Based on this type of architecture, the structure of the building is designed on the basis of modern architecture, but in its decorations and facades, the architecture of ancient Iran and especially Persepolis is used..

Shahrbani Palace, Melli Bank of Iran fund building and Anoushirvan Dadgar High School building are prominent examples of this type of architecture.. The facade, capitals, stone carvings and the role of Achaemenid soldiers and stone inscriptions of these buildings are completely modeled on the architecture of the Achaemenid period of "Takht Jamshid" and their two-sided stone stairs are reminiscent of the architecture of the Apadana Palace..
