ITC-based Technologies and Green Strategy for Contemporization of Tehran Silo

Hasty urbanism resulted in large-scale derelict industrial sites in iner parts of the cities. The Tehran Silo in Nazi Abad of Tehran, is a famous shared-heritage of Iran and Germany which was designed by the German architects, was built by the companies during WWI and WWII, and was completed after WWII by the Russian companies. The article aims to discuss the role of ITC (information and communications technology) in green development of the context.

Highperformance architecture theory is selected for conceptual framework of the research in order to meet sustainable architecture prerequisites in the industrial site. The study is based on mixed method by SWOT matrix as a strategic planning and strategic management technique. The descriptive – analytical research method is selected to implement and interprete SWOT matrix.

The SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analytical model provides strategic solutions for sustainable development and green adaptive reuse of the Tehran Silo to become the main core for the development initiatives for a deteriorated adjacent context.

The results concluded that ITC palys a key role in green contemporization of the Tehran Silo site as a deteriorated brownfield. The research results emphasize the benefits of using new technologies and sustainable architecture in modernizing the abandoned area of Tehran Silo. Information and communication technology on the formation of a vibrant and dynamic social and cultural environment, will be an effective factor in creating new activities, as well as suitable for the economic conditions of the region.
