Kamran Safamanesh graduated in architecture from the University of Tehran in 1973 and obtained advanced degrees in computer application in architecture and urban design from the university of UCLA and Berkley in 1978. He began his professional activities in Iran simultaneously with his studies and continued in the United States. Upon his return to Iran, he specialized in various fields of architecture, urban design, and restoration of historic buildings, completing more than 220 projects. Safamanesh founded the Tehran Research Institute in 1981 as a result of forty years of independent research in theory, history, and experience, creating a rich archive on Iranian architecture and urban planning. One of his ongoing interests is researching the city, the concept of the city, and the human connections in the context of the city of Tehran. In this regard, he took the initiative to establish a commission for identifying and preparing old maps of Tehran, leading to the preparation of 3300 maps for the city. Reflecting on the lofty concepts of culture, art, and the environment of Iran and incorporating them into a new form has been one of his lifetime preoccupations.
