Maxime Fernand Siroux was one of the leading architects in Iran during the 1930s and 1940s. He graduated in architecture from the national School of Fine Arts in Paris. His presence in Iran was arranged by a group of archeologist who were involved in projects in this country. Soon after his arrival, he undertook the responsibility as a professional architect at the initiative of Andre Godard, the head of the Antiquities Department. This was concurrent with the designing of the main building for the University of Tehran.
\nSiroux’s careers in Iran spanned two periods _ first from 1933 to 1945 and later from 1958 to1972_. During the first period, Siroux designed several educational center in addition to renovating a number of historical edifices. In the second period, his activities were more focused on restoring Iran’s caravanserais notably he transformation of Isfahan caravanseries of the mother of the Shah Abbas Hotel.
\nHe was also a prolific writer who published two books on caravanseries and historical roads of Iran in addition to penning a plethora of articles on historical structures.
\nIn 1996, Siroux returned to Paris where he continued his studies on Iran until his death in 1975.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
