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. Although Iran has suffered its share of destruction, including Alexander the Great's decision to burn Persepolis, there are sufficient remains to form a picture of its classical architecture. This paper featuring a chronological description of structural styles, information on traditional construction materials, as well as an analysis of numerous structures, this interest and informative text will be of importance to anyone with a technical interest in structural history and presents a general overview of the structural and architectural characteris- tics of Iranian historical structures and investigates historical buildings of Iran through a structural engineering approach.

  • The Methodology of Iranian Curved Arches (Sagh) Based on Their Geometry

Sci. , 5(8S)648-662, 2015 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2015, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com The methodology of Iranian curved arches (Sagh) based on their geometry Afrooz Rahimi Ariaei 1, Zahra Sadat Etezadi*2 1Academic member, Isfahan Sepehr Institute of Higher Education, PhD student of architecture, Architecture faculty, Islamic Azad University of Sharekord 2* BA student, Interior architecture, Isfahan Sepehr Institute of Higher Education and the corresponding author Received: March 8, 2015 Accepted: May 10, 2015 ABSTRACT The architecture of each county is a display of its culture. So Iran’s architecture is the mirror of Iranian cultures; the characteristics of Iranian culture could be found in its architecture and vice versa. In the meantime, arches are one of the apparent expressions of the link between architecture and culture. Iranian coverings, over the ages, have developed due to time requirements and innovative needs; generally speaking, coverings have two types of flat and curved (sagh). The diversity in the geometry of Iranian arches is the result of Iranian architects’ efforts based on the antecedent’s experiences and their own modern technical achievements. Relying on this reach background, by reclamation and innovation, we could prevent loosing and destruction of this art. Vaults that are made with wishbone arches would increase the height of the monument and have more static stability compared to other vaults. The present study is an effort to assess the typology of Iranian curved coverings (except for domes) based on their evolutionary history, geometry, and shape. This study was a historical, descriptive and analytic study on the basis of two methods of field and library study.

  • Tarikhaneh, a Mosque with More Than 2000 Years Old! ۰۹:۴۷ - ۱۳۹۳/۰۷/۱۶
    Tarikhaneh, a mosque with more than 2000 years old! ۰۹:۴۷ - ۱۳۹۳/۰۷/۱۶ .is a Sassanid-era monument located on the southern limit of the present day city of Damghan, Iran ,(ﻣﺴﺠﺪ ﺗﺎﺭﯾﺨﺎﻧﻪ :also called the Tarikhaneh Mosque (Persian ,(ﭘﺮﺳﺘﺸﮕﺎﻩ ﺗﺎﺭﯾﺨﺎﻧﻪ :The Tarikhaneh Temple (Persian :The Tarikhaneh Temple )Persianﭘﺮﺳﺘﺸﮕﺎﻩ ﺗﺎﺭﯾﺨﺎﻧﻪ :also called the Tarikhaneh Mosque )Persian ,) ﻣﺴﺠﺪ ﺗﺎﺭﯾﺨﺎﻧﻪ is a ,) Sassanid-era monument located on the southern limit of the present day city of Damghan, Iran. This structure was initially used as a Zoroastrian Fire Temple during the Sassanid period, however, after the fall of the Sassanid Empire it was rebuilt and converted into a mosque in the 8th century. The monument is, thus, known as the oldest mosque in Iran.]1[ Tari is the Turkic term for God, and Khaneh is a Persian word meaning house. Therefore, the compound word Tarikhaneh, translates into "the house of god". The main plan consists of a square courtyard which is surrounded by arcades of barrel vaults supported by slightly pointed fired brick arches set on rather stumpy circular pillars, typical of the Sassanid architecture. The pillars are 3.5 meters tall and almost 2 meters in diameter.[2][3] Standing together at a distance from the mosque are the remains of a square column of uncertain date, possibly part of the original construction period, and a cylindrical minaret from the Seljuk period. The latter was built in 1026-1029 to replace an older 9th century minaret, and is strikingly divided into six zones of ornamentation, each rendered in brick with a different geometric pattern.
