This image showcases one of the historical windcatchers (badgirs) in the village of Emad Avar, located in Rey, Tehran Province. With over 400 years of history, this windcatcher stands as a remarkable example of traditional architecture used for natural cooling in hot, arid climates. Windcatchers like this are rare in Tehran and are significant not only for their architectural ingenuity but also as cultural heritage sites. Surrounded by ancient pine trees, the structure symbolizes the harmony between nature, history, and architecture in Emad Avar village. Photographer: Tabassom Argi
