Dr. Gholamali Beski (1931 – 2019) was an Iranian physician and environmentalist known as the "father of nature". The Dr. Beski Science Foundation is an educational platform in Gonbad-e Kavus, a remote city near Iran's north-eastern border with Turkmenistan. "The city needs versatile public and cultural spaces to support the development of its present and future urban life," says ZAV Architects. To fulfill this need, the Dr. Beski Science Foundation offers adaptable spaces supporting various functions.
