Greenland Center ligger i nærheten av Shiraz, i den "nye byen" Sadr, opprettet på 1990-tallet i åsene ved foten av Zagros-fjellene i det sørlige Iran. Senteret har blitt det første tiltrekningsstedet i byen: det huser et utstillings- og kultursenter, en hall for seremonier og en kontorbygning. Et sportssenter, overnatting, et hotell er planlagt.
Det sentrale stedet i ensemblet er okkupert av bygningene A og B designet av Shiraz-byrået Mehrdad Iravanian Architects. A er et kafégalleri som ligger litt høyere oppover skråningen, B er en utstillingspaviljong, lavere og nærmere veien. De er forbundet med en betongbro; det er også en rampe som fører gjennom et anlagt område.

Arkitektene presenterte disse to paviljongene som et par "motsetninger". Gallerikaféen er dekorert med vanlige cortenceller som beskytter den mot solen og rammer inn den spektakulære utsikten. De gjenspeiler autonomien til forskjellige deler av bygningen: en restaurant i kjelleren, et galleri i første etasje og en kafé helt på toppen.
Utstillingspaviljongen, der utstillinger kombineres med restaurantrommet, gjenspeiler en annen ide. Celler laget av hvite paneler mister sin egenart her, smuldrer og krymper. Så hvis et kafégalleri handler om uavhengighet av former, så handler bygning B om deres gjensidige innflytelse på hverandre.
