The project was designed by a group of vernacular modernism; urban young-leading European-educated Iranian architects that collaborated with the density government to develop affordable housing solutions in Iran. To design this project, these architects advanced solutions that explored a cross-pollination between the principles of the functional city, and references from vernacular architecture. Over the last 6 decades, the number of households living in Narmak increased dramatically, from the initial goal of accommodating 7500 families, to the 90,000 families that currently live there. This article discusses the extent to which the initial design decisions were instrumental to cope with this extraordinary increase in the district’s density. We have used typological and morphological analysis, combined with site surveys and interviews to investigate the district’sgrowthand change through time. This article argues that the designer’s critical combination of modernist planning concepts with elements borrowed from Iran’svernacular tradition resulted in a socially inclusive urban community. The plan’srigidurban form has become instrumental in defining a neutral background to accommodate the ever-changing social and spatial practices of its inhabitants. Introduction While Iran’s process of modernization started in the mid-1850s, it gained a new momentum in the aftermath of the Second World War. Sharing similar characteristics with the transformation of other non-western countries, in Iran this modernization project accelerated under the Cold War oil-led geopolitics. The period of ‘post-war corporatist compact’, as Kevan Harris called it, saw the US hege- mony infiltrating the region, sponsoring state-led development.1 In the context of the early Cold War period, the US geopolitics in Iran was driven by a strategy of negotiating favourable alliances to secure access to oil resources.2 This strategy sponsored a form of ‘Socialism’ paradoxically supported by a corporatist model of industrialization, which in the late 1960s some scholars described as a form of ‘creative modernization’.3 The social, political and economic transformation of Iran from the early 1950s until the 1979 revolution is a case in point to illustrate this process.

SEDIGHI AND N. MOTA Mohamad Mosaddeq (1882–1967), Iran’s first democratically elected prime minister in 1951, played a key role in pushing forward the land reforms and the promotion of public housing that started earlier in the 1940s. Both aspects were, however, further developed after Mosaddeq’s over- throwing in 1953, under the second Pahlavi ruler, Mohamad Reza Shah (1919–1980), who ruled Iran until the 1979 revolution.4 In what follows, we aim at contributing for the discussion on the evolution of housing paradigms in Iran since 1941. We will look into a particular case of public housing, Kuy-e Narmak, to study the resonances between the modernization of Iran and the transformation of patterns of inhabitation. We will analyse the typological and morphological aspects of the project and combine the results of this study with the outcome of a site survey in the housing district and interviews conducted with some of its current dwellers. This methodological approach aims at expanding current scholar- ship on Iran’s process of urban transformation, which recently has been addressed by a significant number of scholars. Themes such as the politics of mass housing production, the state’s housing pol- icies, and domesticity and home culture have been addressed from different angles, triggering a criti- cal understanding of some of the most important events in Iran’s process of modernization. Pamela Karimi has been studying the transformations in Iran’s consumer culture and its influence in what she calls Iran’s Interior Revolutions of the Modern Era.5 Karimi has dedicated studies to the urban environment of Abadan, an oil company town in south-west Iran, constructed by the British Petroleum (BP) and based on Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City concept. Karimi developed a com- parative study of Abadan with some other Iranian cities, such as Tehran and Mash’had, highlighting similarities and differences in the urban structure of these cities. She claimed that Iranian cities experienced a hybrid process of urban modernization. In following studies on the architecture and processes of transformation of individual houses and private apartments in Tehran, Karimi has examined how the government used the domestic space as a locus to introduce and promote Western lifestyles among Iranians. She has shown that the layout of the kitchen and its internal arrangement became the main subject of change in the state’s modernization agenda. This shift was connected to the goals of Truman’s ‘Point IV programme’, and developed as a strategy to reori- ent Iran’s home economy towards Western mass-market consumption. In a study developed by Hamed Khosravi, the architecture of dwelling in Tehran was examined through the lens of the state’s policies.6 Through extensive historical analyses, this study showed how the interior spaces of Iranian houses ceased to be the exclusive domain for individual life and family matters. Housing and land policies became a tool to expand the state’s control over the society. Khos- ravi contends that the government used housing as a tool to colonize the land made available after the demolition of the old city walls, in Tehran, with the aim to neutralize the socio-political structure of old neighbourhoods, constructing mass housing for middle-class families and imposing new urban forms. Moreover, his study illustrates how the development of multi-story apartments became an ideal spatial apparatus to promote certain lifestyles and exert control on the society through mechanisms of government planning. Rana Habibi has also examined the impact of mass housing development on the urban structure of Tehran.7 This study showed how mass housing projects in emerging middle-class neighbourhoods of Tehran facilitated the state’s project of nation building. Moreover, Habibi argues that the con- struction of new neighbourhoods was not only a strategy for responding to the

    AES BIOFLUX Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society The role of spatial organization in the typology of Shiraz (Iran) residential complexes Malihe Taghipour, Hossain Soltanzadeh, Kaveh B. Afkan Department of Architecture, College of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, Tehran Central Branch, Tehran, Iran. Corresponding author: H. Soltanzadeh, [email protected] Abstract. The purpose of this study is to understand space organization, its different schemes, and its effect on the formation of residential complexes. This study was based on typology since typology can influence the classification of various organization schemes and since many other studies are also based on typology. The combined approach was implemented using library resources and comparative methodology. For this purpose, those residential complexes in Shiraz which complied with the project requirements were studied. Various residential complexes were classified in terms of scale and height by studying their aerial photographs, satellite maps and GIS pictures. Field visits were also conducted for this purpose. Based on the conducted studies, it was observed that the following organization schemes were implemented in Shiraz: 1) individual, 2) centralized, 3) clustered, 4) linear, and 5) mixed. Ultimately, typology tables were presented based on the organization scheme used as well as the building scale and height. The results showed that the clustered organization scheme was the governing organization scheme used in

  • Agroclimatic Zones Map of Iran Explanatory Notes
    AGROCLIMATIC ZONES MAP OF IRAN EXPLANATORY NOTES E. De Pauw1, A. Ghaffari2, V. Ghasemi3 1 Agroclimatologist/ Research Project Manager, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo Syria 2 Director-General, Drylands Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh, Iran 3 Head of GIS/RS Department, Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI), Tehran, Iran INTRODUCTION The agroclimatic zones map of Iran has been produced to as one of the outputs of the joint DARI-ICARDA project “Agroecological Zoning of Iran”. The objective of this project is to develop an agroecological zones framework for targeting germplasm to specific environments, formulating land use and land management recommendations, and assisting development planning. In view of the very diverse climates in this part of Iran, an agroclimatic zones map is of vital importance to achieve this objective. METHODOLOGY Spatial interpolation A database was established of point climatic data covering monthly averages of precipitation and temperature for the main stations in Iran, covering the period 1973-1998 (Appendix 1, Tables 2-3). These quality-controlled data were obtained from the Organization of Meteorology, based in Tehran. From Iran 126 stations were accepted with a precipitation record length of at least 20 years, and 590 stations with a temperature record length of at least 5 years. The database also included some precipitation and temperature data from neighboring countries, leading to a total database of 244 precipitation stations and 627 temperature stations. The ‘thin-plate smoothing spline’ method of Hutchinson (1995), as implemented in the ANUSPLIN software (Hutchinson, 2000), was used to convert this point database into ‘climate surfaces’.

    State and the Paradox of Gender Segregation in Iran By Nazanin Shahrokni A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Michael Burawoy Professor Cihan Tugal Professor Saba Mahmood Professor Norma Claire Moruzzi Fall 2013 Abstract State and the Paradox of Gender Segregation in Iran by Nazanin Shahrokni Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair This dissertation is about state formation processes and gender segregation practices in postrevolutionary Iran. It uses gender segregation as a policy and spatial indicator to trace the shifts in state power between the establishment of the Islamic Republic (in 1979) and 2009. It explores the politics around the production of gender-segregated spaces, the imperatives of the state that produces them, and the implications for women’s public presence. Building on 182 interviews, more than 16 months of fieldwork between 2008 and 2011, this dissertation offers a thorough account of the (trans)formation of three major sites of gender segregation in Tehran, Iran, namely women-only parks, segregated buses, and men-only sports stadiums. Throughout this work, I argue that current models that attribute the endurance of the Islamic Republic of Iran to its application of coercion and prohibitive measures, fail to account for the productivity of the Iranian state power. Thus, instead of dismissing the Iranian government mode of rule as that of religious totalitarianism using repression, I illustrate that it is more productive to look closely at the intricacies of power and the multitudes of their logics, in order to understand spaces, gender, Islamic rule, and subject formation.

  • Chronology of Events in Iran, September 2002*
    Chronology of Events in Iran, September 2002* September 1 Court grants first "blood money" to a Christian. (Reuters) An Iranian court has for the first time granted the family of a murdered Christian man the same "blood money", or compensation, as that of a Muslim. The ruling was part of moves to give Iran's non-Muslim minorities the same right as Muslims to have killers pay their victims' families to avoid execution. The court in a south Tehran suburb granted the family of Christian pastor Haik Hovsepian-Mehr 150 million rials ($18,750). The blood money for a non-Muslim man had earlier been one-twelfth that of a Muslim under Iran's Islamic laws. Judiciary head Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi recently asked courts to pass equal judgements in such cases and the parliament is to debate a formal legal change. Hovsepian-Mehr, a Protestant pastor, was killed under mysterious circumstances in 1994. Authorities blamed an exiled opposition group for his killing. Western human rights groups said the murder might have been part of alleged extra-judicial killings of dissidents. Official media said the blood money was to be paid from public funds, which is usual in unresolved killings. ($1=8,000 rials). September 2 House destruction and unrest in Karadj. (Student Movement Coordination Centre for Democracy in Iran / SMCCDI)* Authorities reportedly decided to demolish more homes in the "Zoor-Abad" area of Karadj. The decision to resume the destruction of homes which are qualified as unauthorized follows the bloody clashes that rocked the area and resulted in tens of injured among the angry residents and the security forces on August 29.

Irregular urban growth is considered as a global issue; and it is predicted that more than 65% of the world population will live in cities by 2025. Rapid growth of urbanization not only increased number of cities and population size, it also accelerated their physical growth. The process has led to consequences for urban population health, environmental resources, climate and biodiversity. In some countries, rapid physical growth of cities has even surpassed their population growth rates, and this uncontrolled growth creates a phenomenon called the "urban sprawl" which is a complicated model of land use, transportation, and socio-economic development. Urban sprawl is a kind of urban development with a low, unordered and unorganized density. In this type of development, the urban land use model is changed; and further per capita urban land is available to people. Factors affecting the incidence of these phenomena in cities are among important aspects that should be studied in the field of urban sprawl.
