An architecture photomontage project is stunning audiences with its stark contrast between ancient and modern modes of structural expression. The artistic endeavor is headed by architect Mohammad Hassan Forouzanfar and has gained traction on the Internet due to its striking visual appeal. Dubbed 'Expanding Iranian Ancient Architecture,' the architecture photomontage brings together "archaeological sites in Iran with contemporary buildings" by renowned firms like Zaha Hadid.
