After the advent of Islam which was emphasizing respect to guests in Quran verses and Hadith, equality and fraternity notions were added to the culture which leads to changes in Islamic urban framework. Despite the simplicity of walls and the similarity among houses which show equality between the rich and the poor, the connection point of houses to public passages, was a place for owner greetings and expressing fraternity to the pedestrians and guests who intended to enter the house. In this study, 21 traditional houses in traditional context and 58 contemporary dwellings (apartments and houses with yards) were investigated based on explanatory descriptive method in 3 cities of Iran. Furthermore, hidden religious concepts in greeting (invitation, welcoming, permission and acceptance) were evaluated and their manifestation in traditional Iranian framework (Safavid and Qajar period) in cultural domestic setting was also studied. Finally, continuation or absence of these concepts at the moment of entering the privacy of present houses will be discussed.

  • Persian Heritage: a Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development
    International Journal of Cultural Heritage E. Abedi, D. Kralj http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijch Persian heritage: A Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development ELAHEH ABEDI1, DAVORIN KRALJ2, A.M.Co., Tehran, IRAN1 ALMA MATER EUROPAEA, Slovenska 17, 2000 Maribor, SLOVENIA2, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In every country, heritage plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development. Iran, a high plateau located at latitudes in the range of 25-40 in an arid zone in the northern hemisphere of the East, is a vast country with different climatic zones. In the past, traditional builders have presented several logical climatic solutions in order to enhance human comfort. In fact, this emphasis has been one of the most important and fundamental features of Iranian architecture. To a significant extent, Iranian architecture has been based on climate, geography, available materials, and cultural beliefs. Therefore, traditional Iranian builders had to devise various techniques to enhance architectural sustainability through the use of natural materials, and they had to do so in the absence of modern technologies. Paper describes the principals and methods of vernacular architectural designs in Iran with given examples which is predominately focused on some eclectic ancient cities in Iran as Kashan, Isfahan, and Yazd. Design and technological considerations of past, such as sustainable performance of natural materials, optimum usage of available materials, and the use of wind and solar power, were studied in order to provide effective eco architectural designs to provide the architectural criteria and insights. This study will be beneficial to today architects in the design of architectural structures to provide human comfort and a sustainable life in adverse climatic conditions.

  • Iran's Nuclear Ambitions From
    IDENTITY AND LEGITIMACY: IRAN’S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS FROM NON- TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVES Pupak Mohebali Doctor of Philosophy University of York Politics June 2017 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of Iranian elites’ conceptions of national identity on decisions affecting Iran's nuclear programme and the P5+1 nuclear negotiations. “Why has the development of an indigenous nuclear fuel cycle been portrayed as a unifying symbol of national identity in Iran, especially since 2002 following the revelation of clandestine nuclear activities”? This is the key research question that explores the Iranian political elites’ perspectives on nuclear policy actions. My main empirical data is elite interviews. Another valuable source of empirical data is a discourse analysis of Iranian leaders’ statements on various aspects of the nuclear programme. The major focus of the thesis is how the discourses of Iranian national identity have been influential in nuclear decision-making among the national elites. In this thesis, I examine Iranian national identity components, including Persian nationalism, Shia Islamic identity, Islamic Revolutionary ideology, and modernity and technological advancement. Traditional rationalist IR approaches, such as realism fail to explain how effective national identity is in the context of foreign policy decision-making. I thus discuss the connection between national identity, prestige and bargaining leverage using a social constructivist approach. According to constructivism, states’ cultures and identities are not established realities, but the outcomes of historical and social processes. The Iranian nuclear programme has a symbolic nature that mingles with socially constructed values. There is the need to look at Iran’s nuclear intentions not necessarily through the lens of a nuclear weapons programme, but rather through the regime’s overall nuclear aspirations.

Received: 20/01/2019 ; revised: 25/05/2019 ; accepted: 15/06/2019 ; available online: 20/02/2020 Abstract Problem statement: Perception is our sensory experience of the surrounding world and requires the recognition of environmental stimulus and responses to them. Architecture is a multiple realm of sensory experiences that mutually affect each other and are interconnected and provide an opportunity for perception of a space. Throughout history, “ Iranian traditional bazaars”, with a vast collection of land uses and adjacent buildings, were lively centers of cities, and social interactions. These covered bazaars, which are valuable relics from the pre- modern era, can be considered as multi-sensory spaces, unlike contemporary shopping malls and shopping centers, which make sense of belonging to a place among users. Research Objectives: The present study attempts to qualitatively examines the senses cape components in the Qazvin Bazaar from the users’ viewpoint, considering the importance of sensory perception system in spatial perception and the role that this perception can play in the process of cognition and behavior.

  • Analysis of the Responsive Aspects of the Traditional Persian House
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM ISSN 2029-7955 / eISSN 2029-7947 2015 Volume 39(4): 273–289 doi:10.3846/20297955.2015.1088414 ANALYSIS OF THE RESPONSIVE ASPECTS OF THE TRADITIONAL PERSIAN HOUSE Maryam Gharavi ALKHANSARI School of Architecture, College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, Enghelab Avenue, 14174-66191 Tehran-Iran E-mail: [email protected] Received 4 June 2014; accepted 26 October 2015 Abstract. The traditional Persian house is a representative of the culture, way of life, and beliefs of the Persian people during the golden era of Persian civilization in 17th to early 20th centuries. The goal of this paper is to analyze the responsive features of this traditional house in order to provide a more organized recognition of this structure and its fundamental principles. It seems that appreciation of such key principles may help to exit the current confusion in understanding cultural-spatial qualities in contem- porary Iranian housing. In this regard, the paper will introduce the traditional Persian house, and will analyze its different aspects by using the seven criteria of Ian Bentley et al. in the book Responsive Environments (1985). This book speaks of broad, but somewhat universal concepts that can be applied across a wide range of areas such as old environments. This approach can be applied to reconsider the values of traditional environments. The criteria proposed are ‘permeability’, ‘variety’, ‘legibility’, ‘robustness’, ‘visual appropriateness’, ‘richness’ and ‘personalization’. This paper’s analysis will be performed from three main viewpoints: functional-constructional, environmental, and social-cultural. The paper discussions show that the responsiveness criteria are achieved in the traditional Persian house.

Besides considering five principles of Iranian architecture including: interior oriented (maintaining privacy), popularity, self-sufficiency, avoiding the waste and structures, the construction culture of Iranian traditional houses has had a very complicated but at the same time simple and rational mutual relationship with culture and architecture which is similar to sustainability principles of contemporary architecture. It can be seen in the order of exterior and interior spaces such as porch, court-yard, three-door and five-door room. Besides preserving originality and social cultural identity of people in the past, this mutual relationship was considered as a sustainable factor of cultural development in line with ordinary people’s culture (folklore), which has been discussed thoroughly and analytically in this article.

  • Reinterpreting Sustainable Design of Traditional Iranian Cities
    Reinterpreting sustainable design of traditional Iranian cities A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy Nima Dibazar Welsh School of Architecture Cardiff University September 2016 Abstract: In our constant attempts to reduce the negative impact of urbanisation on natural environment and to improve quality of urban life, we must be inventive with new technologies but also to re-learn and re-use effective local solutions which have been used for centuries in vernacular cities before the industrialisation and widespread use of fossil fuels. The study focuses on vernacular Iranian cities in order to highlight architectural and urban solutions adopted in response to harsh climate of Iranian plateau. Throughout the study climatic adaptations in vernacular Iranian cities have been investigated in response to four elements of sun, wind, water and green spaces. The main research approach adopted in this research involved urban structure analysis through aerial photos, historic maps, existing literature in Farsi and English as well as on site observation by the author. Native builders informed by accumulated knowledge of their ancestors, constructed dense urban environments with available local materials. These compact cities were efficient but also diverse in land use. Dense urban fabric protected building from cold winter winds and harsh summer sunlight. Water was transported from foothill of mountains via network of underground channels to supply water to buildings and also to moderate temperature by surface evaporation. Local knowledge of regional winds enabled native people to build houses and streets with appropriate orientation and benefit from favourable winds for ventilation and to avoid harsh unpleasant winds.
