  • Nomadic Path
    Nomadic path With the onset of the Neolithic Revolution and the emergence of Mesopotamian populations, groups of people who lived in the surrounding mountains migrated to the banks of the large rivers of these areas and founded human civilization. People living in Zagros Mountains (western part of Iran) were likely the first people who had domesticated some animals many years ago, were among them. The life of these people was dependent on livestock farming; and each year, looking for good pastures, they migrated between two sides of Zagros Mountain range. But this lifestyle with its ancient traditions is still alive in Zagros Mountains. There are still some Bakhtiari tribes who migrate annually between the tropical regions in Khuzestan (ancient Elam) and the cold and elevated regions in the east of Zagros mountain range.

  • THE SOCIETY for ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018
    THE SOCIETY FOR ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018 More than five hundred years before Christ, Cyrus the Great founded one of the world’s first empires at Pasargadae. Over the centuries Persian civilization has been impacted by diverse cultural influences from invading Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and Turks. Join Dr. Keelan Overton on a journey through Iran where impressive monuments serve as vivid testament to the extraordinary history and culture of the country. The name Persia, used by the ancient Greeks, is derived from the southwesterly province of Pars which was the cradle of the Persian Empire. It was here that the Achaemenids became the first kings of a united country. They built capitals at Pasargadae and Persepolis and ruled over territory which stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea and from China in the east to the Mediterranean shores in the west. It is a welcoming and beautiful country of contrasts, of jagged mountains and golden deserts punctuated by slender wind towers, crumbling clay-baked caravansaries, and everywhere a horizon pierced by mosques and turquoise minarets. ----------------------------------Tour Highlights -------------------------------------- Tehran– 3 nights Visit Jameh Atigh, 9th c.

  • 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)
    35 quarterly, No. 32| Summer 2021 DOI: 10.22034/jaco.2021.288405.1199 Persian translation of this paper entitled: بررسی تطبیقی نحوۀ انعکاس اند یشۀ شاعر و طراح بر معماری باغ مزار (نمونه های مورد ی: باغ آرامگاه حافظ و سعد ی) is also published in this issue of journal. 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.

  • Exploring the Symbol of Gavaevodata and the Essence of Siavash in Shāhnāmeh and Its Replication on the Embossments of Persepolis
    Exploring the Symbol of Gavaevodata and the Essence of Siavash in Shāhnāmeh and its Replication on the Embossments of Persepolis Introduction The mythology of each ethnic group is rooted in their initial attitudes and thoughts about creation and the universe. When human science, knowledge and research had not yet begun, and the first man had to calm his troubled mind for his own reasons. The only way he could escape the horror of death was to turn to a supernatural and mythical power. Many words have been said about the meaning and roots of myths. Arab lexicographers consider the term myth in Persian (Ostoreh) as an Arabic word on the weight of "Ofoleh" meaning objects connoting unfounded and wonderful myths and words that have been written (Kazazi , 1993: 1). Myth is a narrative that revives the original reality and satisfies the deep religious need and is a basic element of human civilization; moreover, mythology and storytelling are not in vain in any way (Masoumi, 2009: 19). It is an art, creative and poetic that over time, with the creative power of their imagination, have turned every aspect of human life into a poetic symbol; The aspirations of human beings throughout history have found poetic interpretations during these myths and have been narrated from generation to generation, and over time, have crystallized in the aura of poetic imagination of different generations. In between, myth and epic have a close and fundamental connection with each other. The epic is the product of a myth, and the myth is left to the nurturing mother who breeds the epic and nurtures it on her lap.

  • 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.

  • Sasanid Music (From Historical Texts to Archaeological Evidence)
    Вестник Томского государственного университета Культурология и искусствоведение. 2020. № 37 УДК 008.001 (4) DOI: 10.17223/22220836/37/17 Samad Parvin, Behrouz Afkhami SASANID MUSIC (FROM HISTORICAL TEXTS TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE) The Sasanid government is the last government before the arrival of Islam to Iran.

Various views have been presented for the definition of art. Tolstoy considers art to be the expression of feeling [1. P. 53]. Some considered it as the creation of beauty [2. P. 30]. Art is an expression of beauty, human feeling, emotions, and thoughts [3. P. 7]. Attributes such as fit and balance, creativity, feeling, affection, and thought are used in art [4.
