"Maan; Critique of Contemporary Iranian Architecture"
"Maan" is a specialized television program focused exclusively on issues related to architecture and urban planning in Iranian settlements. "Maan" (meaning "home") seeks, instead of concentrating on architectural theoretical foundations, to serve as a benchmark to critically examine events in the field of architecture and urbanism based on existing knowledge and experience, addressing various architectural topics that afflict our modern cities.

This program airs live on Wednesdays, produced by Ebrahim Arjomandi and hosted by Seyed Reza Shahrestani, featuring different architectural experts from across the country to critique current architectural issues in Iran. Criticism is essential for life in a country with the restless climate of Iran, with its 8,000-year-old living heritage.

Broadcast time: Wednesdays at 23:00 with a repeat at 13:00 the following day
