  • An Analytical Study of the Evolution of Qajar Palaces
    فصلنامه مدیریت شهری (ضمیمه ﻻتین) Urban management No.45 Winter 2016 367 - 389 Received 23 May 2016; Accepted 11 July 2016 An Analytical Study of the Evolution of Qajar Palaces Mehdi Saadati Khamseh1 -PhD in Architecture from Azerbaijan National Academy of Sci- ences, Faculty Member of Shomal University, Amol, Iran. Abstract The political and social system involved in the limbo between tradition and modernity of the Qajar Era caused widespread and quick developments in Iranian culture, art, and architecture as well as a challenge between tradition and modernity. Relatively numerous palaces built in this era were signs of greatness and distinction-seeking of the Qajar kings and aristocrats, who embraced all transformations of architecture in their era and played a significant role in changing Iranian architectural values. There- fore the purpose of the present study is to investigate developments in architecture of the Qajar Era and their effects on the evolution of palaces in this era. Using case studies methodology and referring to historical sources, contemporary studies on Qa- jar architecture and field studies conducted on outstanding palaces of this era, it can Downloaded from ijurm.imo.org.ir at 13:05 IRST on Friday November 13th 2020 be concluded that the continuation of Safavid architecture early in this period, Qajar kings’ tendency to Iranian ancient architecture, and the culmination of the architec- tural influence of the West in the Nasserid Era were the main factors effective on the formation of Qajar palaces. Moreover, the evolution of these buildings has occurred in three pre, early and late Nasserid Eras with various traditional, eclectic and Euro- pean characteristics regarding the construction period and the effects of the above factors on the evolution of plans and circulation systems, facades and sections, ma- terials, decorations, and architectural elements.
