The necessity of constructing the new Meybod Municipality building in 2020 was rooted in two fundamental factors: on one hand, the dilapidation and physical constraints of the existing structure, and on the other, the upgrade in the municipality's organizational grade alongside a shift in urban management paradigms. The former building neither had the capacity to accommodate the expanding administrative structure, nor provided a suitable platform for delivering efficient services worthy of the citizens. Nevertheless, the design approach went beyond merely replacing an aging structure. The project served as an opportunity to redefine the relationship between the citizen, the administrative space, and the urban management institution. Therefore, the core objective focused on creating a complex that simultaneously provides an efficient and ergonomic environment for the staff, a legible and transparent space for visitors, and a structure commensurate with the institutional prestige of the municipality. On the other hand, being situated in the hot and dry climate of Meybod led the design process toward a multi-layered solution—one that fulfills the functional needs of a contemporary administrative complex while harmonizing with the climatic logic and historical identity of the region. Based on this, the "Meybod Municipality Arg" was conceived as an urban landmark and an integrated physical entity; a building where organizational function, desert climate, and civic dignity converge into a single, unified whole.
