On the tour we aim to see the main highlights – Esfahan, Persepolis and Shiraz, as well as some more unusual sites such as the Zoroastrian city of Yazd and the mountain village of Abyaneh. Accommodation is generally of a reasonable standard, with Tehran, Esfahan and Shiraz in particular providing some comfort along the way. The hotel in Yazd is more traditional, and the one in Abyaneh is perhaps the most simple, though is the best available – and the trade-off is worth it. Please note that on occasion Iranian hoteliers can have a rather cavalier attitude to hotel reservations, so it may be necessary to change the specified hotels. You will be accompanied throughout by an experienced Iranian guide and driver. Please note that Iran is an Islamic Republic so female members of the group must wear a head scarf and manteau (which should cover to mid-thigh and be worn over trousers). Alcohol is banned in Iran and being caught with it can land you in prison. You are not allowed to take any alcohol with you. CLIMATE Iran is a desert country, though our trip should avoid the worst of the heat. Spring and Autumn are generally pleasant times of year to visit. Rainfall is always a possibility in the north, though most days will be dry and clear. The hottest region is usually Persepolis. During the day here expect temperatures of above 20 degrees Celsius. On the other hand Abyaneh and Tehran will both be “fresh” with temperatures of about 15-20 degrees. MARC’S PROFILE Marc has worked at Audley for a number of years and has visited many countries but Iran has always stood out for him. The warm welcome and hospitality of the Iranian people, as well as some of the glorious architecture and scenery in Shiraz, Esfahan and Yazd made for a memorable trip. Marc will not be joining you on the tour but will be on hand up until your departure (and indeed when you get back) to discuss any aspect of the tour.

For that reason, the analysis of sustainable parameters in traditional landscape of Iran such as, Persian gardens is very important to the present and future of Iranian cities. This paper is a comparative study on the sustainable parameters of two Persian gardens located on the arid central plateau of Iran. The recognition and reinterpretation of Persian garden design can be an appropriate solution for landscape architects to create sustainable green spaces in modern cities. The main objective of this research is to find the parameters and principles of sustainability in Persian garden as sustainable landscape heritage. The selected case studies of this paper are two historical gardens, located in two different microclimatic areas in arid regions of Iran. By analyzing the sustainable and climatic features of the selected case studies, Shazde Garden in Mahan and Eram Garden in Shiraz, this paper identifies ways to create green space for sustainable landscaping in similar climates.

  • Iran, Gem of the Middle East
    a Iran, Gem of the Middle East Itinerary correct as at Mar 06, 2018 but subject to change. ALL flights to be confirmed. www.bluedottravel.com.au IRAN, GEM OF THE MIDDLE EAST Iranian culture is very old and considered one of the richest in the world. Religion, arts, pottery and weaving have been developed to a high degree. Ancient cultures and settlements have existed on the Iranian Plateau since the fourth millennium BCE. Many great empires came and went. In the 13th century, the Mongols invaded and killed most of the inhabitants and destroyed most of the cities. The following centuries were marked by constant wars with neighbouring states. It wasn’t until 1906 that the nation’s first parliament was established, however a coup led by Reza Khan (Shah) in 1921, toppled the government. In 1925 he replaced the ruling Qajar Dynasty founding his own Pahlavi Dynasty. In 1941 the Shah was exiled and replaced with his son Mohammad Reza Shah. The Pahlavi’s are credited with the development of Iran’s modern industry, transport and education system. They did however, with their autocratic rule, manage to alienate many of their countrymen including the religious leaders. Eventually, the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution toppled the Pahlavi Dynasty in 1979. Formerly Persia until 1939, the country is now officially known as the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is a mountainous and generally arid country with the interior containing a vast salt wasteland. Much of the terrain is unpassable and as such, is yet to be explored. Its population is diverse and consists of many ethnic and religious backgrounds.

  • A Comparative Study of How the Thoughts of the Poet and Designer Are Reflected in the Architecture of Tomb Garden (Case Examples: Hafez and Saadi Tomb Garden)

Original Research Article A Comparative Study of How the Thoughts of the Poet and Designer are Reflected in the Architecture of Tomb Garden (Case examples: Hafez and Saadi Tomb Garden) Zahra Yarmahmoodi1*, Fatemeh Niknahad2 1. Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran. 2. Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran. Received; 29/05/2021 accepted; 16/06/2021 available online; 01/07/2021 Abstract The garden of the tomb is the design of a symbol and a memorial that reflects the ideas, views, and beliefs of the person resting in it. Therefore, since people will visit this place in the future, it is better to be eternal and stable. As stated in various studies, the secret of a work’s immortality is its relationship with its viewers and users. Adherence to cultural and climatic patterns and adaptation to the conditions of the region and society is essential. Therefore, flexibility, appropriateness of the time, and the transfer of meaning are among the requirements for the design of spaces and monuments. The research uses the descriptive- analytical research method and employs the phenomenological approach to determine the relationship between the poet and the designer’s thought and the architecture of the tomb and in recording and transmitting the cultural-spatial identity of the city.
