Arrival to Tehran, after custom formality, meet and assist at airport and transfer to the Hotel. O/N: Tehran Day 2: Tehran After breakfast, full day visit Tehran: Niyavaran Palace, Imamzadeh Saleh & Tajrish Bazaar O/N: Tehran The Niavaran Complex is a historical complex situated in Shemiran, Tehran (Greater Tehran), Iran. It consists of several buildings and monuments built in the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. The complex traces its origin to a garden in Niavaran region, which was used as a summer residence by Fath-Ali Shah of the Qajar Dynasty. A pavilion was built in the garden by the order of Naser ed Din Shah of the same dynasty, which was originally referred to as Niavaran House, and was later renamed Saheb Qaranie House. The pavilion of Ahmad Shah Qajar was built in the late Qajar period.During the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty, a modern built mansion named Niavaran House was built for the imperial family of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. All of the peripheral buildings of the Saheb Qaranie House, with the exception of the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion, were demolished, and the buildings and structures of the present-day complex were built to the north of the Saheb Qaranie House. In the Pahlavi period, the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion served as an exhibition area for the presents from world eaders to the Iranian monarchs. Imamzadeh Saleh is one of many imamzadeh mosques in Iran. The mosque is located at Tajrish Square in Tehran's northern Shemiran district.
  • Culture of Shiraz

    Culture of Shiraz

    1 AKPIA @ MIT - Studies on ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY & CULTURE History and the Production of the “Culture of Shiraz” Setrag Manoukian Introduction My research project at the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT focused on the production of knowledge in contemporary Shiraz and in particular on some of the most visible products of this evolving concatenation: the buildings and public initiatives that mark the landscape of Shiraz today.1 These diverse products are constructed, presented, and interpreted mainly through the modality of history, which constitutes the main frame of reference to imagine the city and its place within the Iranian nation. Public history The Islamic Republic, since its inception, has devoted many efforts to the control of public space. These efforts have been oriented toward mapping revolutionary discourse onto streets and squares through images, texts, and objects as well as toward conforming existing images, objects, and texts to what were perceived as the tenets of the new state.2 1 I spent January and February 2004 at AKPIA at MIT and found a lively intellectual community that helped me to sharpen my views. I wish to thank Nasser Rabbat, Heghnar Watenpaugh, and Susan Slyomovics for their insights. 2 For descriptions of revolutionary images, texts, and objects and their relevance in the construction of the revolutionary state see Michael M. J. Fischer and Mehdi Abedi, Debat- ing Muslims: Cultural Dialogues in Postmodernity and Tradition (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1990) and more specifically Peter Chelkoswski and Hamid Dabashi, Staging a Revolution: The Art of Persuasion in the Islamic Republic of Iran (London: 2 A dispersed set of operations projected a forceful regime of signs, struc- turing a prescriptive field that regulates what can be made public.

Received 2018/07/17 revised 2018/11/03 accepted 2018/12/02 available online 2019/03/21 Abstract Statement of the Problem: Since the advent of Islam, the design of mosques have been really important to the Islamic architects. Its importance is well-evident in the designing of all its elements which has introduced the mosque as the most outstanding edifice in Islamic architecture. Since long time ago, mosque architectures and designers have esteemed certain principles regarding the preservation of an orientation towards the God from the beginning of an individual’s entry to the mosque till facing towards the Qibla as well as the maintenance of hierarchal movements. Thus, the most important problem of the present study is the role played by Qibla in spatial organization of the mosque. Based thereon, the issue has been investigated in the architecture of the traditional mosques in Dezful in terms of the spatial axis and movement hierarchy considerations so that the ground could be set for the designing and constructing of the contemporary mosques.

Each of the periods of Elamites, Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sassanids were creators of great architecture that over the ages has spread wide and far to other cultures being adopted.

    1 Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We Started the Trip with an Overnight,13

    Iran Triplog October 10 to 12.We started the trip with an overnight,13-hour Qatar flight to Doha; followed by a 7-hour layover; and then a 2.5-hour flight to Tehran, arriving at 4 am on the 12th. We whisked through security and immigration (unlike others whose luggage was thoroughly searched) and we were met at the airport by a driver and the assistant guide, Javad. The drive to the Espinas Hotel (which turned out to be the best hotel of the trip) took about an hour and we checked in and napped for 3 hours or so before going to breakfast. October 12. We were pleased to discover when we checked in that the breakfast was included. It was a selection of yoghurts, cheeses, breads, cereals, various fruits, dates, honey, a spinach frittata “cucu sabzi”, etc., as well 3 or 4 hot selections and an omelet station. To varying degrees, this was the breakfast at each hotel, so we had lots of options and plenty of food. After breakfast, we walked around the neighborhood a bit, then walked to Laleh Park and spent some time walking there. It’s a very large park, and each time we walked there we discovered a new section. There is a small Japanese area with stepping stones, a stage with cement seating, an area where locals blocked off sections and put up nets for net games, a long waterway flanked with blooming oleander, sculptures of historical figures, and flower beds in various areas, a pond, an area of woods…oh, and lots of very well-fed cats.

Mahdi Nejad1, H. Azemati2, A. Sadeghi Habib Abad3,* 1Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University, (SRTTU), Iran 2Professor, Department of Architecture, Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University, (SRTTU), Iran 3PhD. Candidate, Department of Architecture, Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University, (SRTTU), Iran Received: October 2018, Revised: April 2019, Accepted: April 2019, Available online: June 2019 Abstract In the history of Iranian architecture, mosques have always been the apex of Islamic art and architecture. The architecture of mosques seeks inspiration from the concepts of divine words to provide a space connecting the heavens and the material world and create a single spiritual environment. It is so important to identify the transcendental values of the past and choose the most essential values for considering the criteria adapted to the time and local conditions of today’s society. Seeking an applied purpose, this had used a qualitative and quantitative approach based on descriptive-survey research methodology. To this end, 16 valuable mosques of the traditional Iranian-Islamic architecture were initially investigated and their values and indicators were identified and confirmed by 8 experts to achieve architectural transcendence. The statistical population included architecture students of all technical faculties throughout Iran. 5 universities were selected through random cluster sampling and the sample size was 190 people; hence, 175 questionnaires were approved by eliminating the incomplete questionnaires.
