  • Conservation of Badgirs and Qanats in Yazd, Central Iran
    PLEA2006 - The 23rd Conference on Passive and Low Energy Architecture, Geneva, Switzerland, 6-8 September 2006 Conservation of Badgirs and Qanats in Yazd, Central Iran Dr Reza Abouei1, 2 1 School of Architecture, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK 2 School of Architecture, Art University of Isfahan, Isfahan, IRAN ABSTRACT: Of all historic Iranian cities, Yazd, with thousands of historic residential buildings and a large number of traditional structures such as badgirs (wind-towers) and qanats (underground tunnels) contains the largest uninterrupted historic urban fabric in Iran. The city is also an important example of Iranian urban history, whose urban fabric, well adapted to regions dry and hot climate, is relatively a living and dynamic area. The special climate of Yazd has made it necessary to adapt a particular architectural style and urban development/redevelopment schemes. Furthermore, most historic areas of the city contain various traditional structures such as the badgirs, ab-anbars (water storages) and qanats. The existence of these mud-brick ventilation structures, which dominate the city’s roofscapes, creates a distinctive architectural feature of Yazd in which an efficient clean energy system has been used for centuries. As an ancient Iranian system of irrigation, the qanats are also among the outstanding infrastructural features of Yazd in which an organised network of deep water wells linked a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels to form an artificial spring. Currently, many of these traditional structures remain in use, but the historic urban fabric of the city is under the risk of gradual depopulation. Accelerated modern technology and the change of social and economic aims of the community, in Yazd like many other historic cities, alongside the infeasibility of changes in traditional infrastructure have caused the gradual abandonment of these areas.

  • The Network of the Ismaili Castles in the Alamut Region Introduction
    The Network of the Ismaili Castles in the Alamut Region Introduction Early Ismailis in Persia Ismailis are one of the several religious sects of Shiite Islam which originally formed after the death of Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadeq in 765. These sects owe their origin to the issue of his succession (Fig. 2). In 909 they officially established a Shiite caliphate in modern Tunisia which was named Fatimid dynasty (909 -1171).1 The Fatimids benefited from a systematic method of propaganda (daʿwa) to extend their power and rule over the Muslim communities in the other part of the Islamic world. The daʿwa organization was composed of network of missionaries who disseminated the religious and political beliefs of Ismailis within the Fatimid dominions as well as in other regions.2 By the late 11th century, the number of converts in different regions of Persia (e.g. Isfahan, Rey, Khorasan, and Transoxania) had grown as a result of the activities of several daʿi (missionaries) operating in the Persian territories. The Ismaili daʿwa was even more successful in the areas of Deylaman and Qohistan which were already the centres of socio-religious oppositions against the Saljuq government.3 The main reason for such an acceptance of the daʿwa in the Persian lands was the widespread perception of social injustices caused by the political-economic policies of the Saljuq Turks (1037 - 1194).4 All of these conditions provided a 1 Farhad Daftary, “Ismailism, Ismaili History”, in the Encyclopedia of Iranica, Vol. XIV, Fasc. 2, 2007, pp. 178- 195, available online at http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/ismailism-iii-ismaili-history, accessed 11 February 2014.

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 7 No 4 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy July 2016 Tourism Boom by Islamic Art Spiritual Attractions in Iran Perspective Elements Susan Khataei Assistant Professor, Department of Graphic Design, Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design, Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University, Tehran, Iran Doi:10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n4s1p40 Abstract Iran is one of the ten first countries in the world on the subject of tourism attractions. Iran, the land of four seasons simultaneously, and historical and scientific - cultural buildings is of interest for many tourists. Various works of Islamic art in the perspective of Iran that have been arisen in different periods and regions all have the same message and truth and have a sign of coordination and the greatness of Islamic civilization and culture. The artistic unity that stems from ideological unity, is able to attract many audience and can transcends the boundaries of time and place and communicate spiritually with all its contacts and believers. Islamic art and architecture is derived from religious sources and has an appearance (form) and the inside. Forms are created to give meaning and generally in Islamic art, nothing is void of the "meaning". General feeling of foreign tourists by observing Islamic-Iranian monuments is along with surprise, admiration and a sense of spirituality. In this study, the role of decorations in mosques and shrines in Iranian - Islamic architecture to establish spiritual relationship with the audience is emphasized. This is an applied research with analytical descriptive method which have been done based on observation and documentary studies.

  • Un Paseo Por La “Torre De La Libertad” De Teherán
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Universidad de Zaragoza Un paseo por la “torre de la Libertad” de Teherán A diferencia de otras capitales mundiales como París, Roma, New York..., Teherán (Irán) es mucho menos conocida. Es por este motivo que al hablar del Monumento a la Libertad o Monumento Shahyad, en honor al Sah (el emperador de Irán), que tras la revolución iraní de 1979 cambió de nombre a "Torre Azadi" (en idioma persa, significa Libertad), es uno de los monumentos contemporáneos más desconocidos a nivel mundial, aunque esta construcción está situada en una de las entradas a la capital iraní, por lo que su silueta y los 45 metros de altura la hacen inconfundible, siendo visible desde muchas zonas de la urbe, en especial de noche cuando está completamente iluminada [Fig.1].1 Fig. 1.- Vista de la Torre Azadi Fig. 2.- Retrato Col.

  • On the Simplest Reading of Bartol's Alamut
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2016.4.1.215-227 215 On the Simplest Reading of Bartol’s Alamut Tahereh AHMADIPOUR*4 Abstract Bartol’s Alamut as a valuable Slovenian literary work has been exposed to several inter- pretations for more than 70 years. The simplest or maybe the most credulous reading of this book is the one that considers it as a history book. This reading deems that the novel literally narrates the political and social events of Iran in the 11th century, the time that the Ismailis with Hasan Sabbah as the leader ruled over Alamut Castle. In this article the novel’s most important interpretations have been provided by discussing the deliberate critical essays through content analysis and historical criticism of the happenings. Then by using some important historical documents and relevant evidence, some events and persons of that time have been detected. The main aim of the article is to show that while Bartol incorporated a vast knowledge of the history of the Middle East as the core part of his novel, he also regarded his own nation and the miserable events of his own country. As a matter of fact he sent a harsh message through creating his own Hasan Sabbah, without any concern for the history. Keywords: Bartol’s Alamut, Hasan Sabbah, historical Criticism, Slovene literature Izvleček Bartolov Alamut je pomembno slovensko delo, ki je že skoraj 70 let tema številnih inter- pretacij. Najpreprosteje, celo lahkoverno je to delo brati kot zgodovinsko knjigo. Takšno branje predpostavlja, da roman v resnici pripoveduje o političnih in družbenih dogodkih v Iranu 11.
