A house tends to be simple in structure and to conserve ancient forms that do not require the invention of a designer while the villa is typically the product of an architect’s imagination and asserts its modernity.

The villa is a paradigm not only of architecture but of ideology; it is a myth of fantasy through which is generated by psychological rather than utilitarian needs. It is not limited to any particular architectural type, culture, or historical moment but rather is a social and ideological phenomenon discernible throughout history.

Villa is as one of the more utopian setting for conversations of "Architectural Inventions".  

Established in 2016, Villa Printed and Online Magazine, which focuses professionally on Villa projects, is a platform for architects to introduce their iconic villa projects, which are trying to develop an architectural dialect and a contemporary manifestation. 

Villa Magazine publishes its printed version, on a seasonal basis, 4 times a year and has its headquarters in Yusefabad, Tehran, Iran.

Villa is open for submissions for built and Unbuilt villa projects; trying to recognize outstanding ideas that redefine architecture design through the implementation of novel technologies, materials, programs, and aesthetics along with studies on globalization, sustainability, and health.
