In a Megalopolis like Tehran the public sphere gradually fades, affected by political and social factors.
The Amir chocolate+ urban café is an attempt to create public space in the heart of Tehran’s dense urban

In the urban café the side walk expands itself to the urban café where there are no borders or barriers.
The sidewalk which transforms itself to a public space.
