Desert Utopia: the Hidden Unity of Iranian Architecture Conceptualization Behind the Making of a Documentary Film
American International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 2; April 2018 Desert Utopia: The Hidden Unity of Iranian Architecture Conceptualization behind the Making of a Documentary Film Khosrow Bozorgi Professor of Architecture and Urban Design Director, Center for Middle Eastern Architecture and Culture College of Architecture, University of Oklahoma United States of America NARRATIVE Desert Utopia will examine the history of architecture in three desert cities in Iran, exploring unique aspects of the built environment that enabled people to flourish in one of the world’s harshest climates. Although the film will focus on the history of Iranian desert architecture spanning thousands of years, this project is nevertheless timely for today’s American audiences. Due to concerns about global environmental change, sustainable building techniques have emerged as a topic of increasing interest over the past two decades. This interest encompasses themes such as the use of local building materials, creative ways to minimize water use (and water waste), and ways to reduce the amount of energy spent on heating and cooling. Furthermore, the geopolitics of the last two decades also have piqued Americans’ curiosity about the Middle East, especially Iran, but for many people, their knowledge about this part of the world is spotty or even misinformed. Desert Utopia is therefore a film that comes at the right time: It will help satisfy Americans’ curiosity about environmentally sound architecture while filling some of the gaps in their knowledge about Iranian culture and history. However, Desert Utopia is more than simply a film about sustainable architecture in Iranian history. -

Man-made has been in order to fulfill the material and spiritual needs of man and with peers on this issue; he has created the space to fulfill man's natural needs such as achieving peace. The vast landscape, spatial variety, sacred landscape, place of reflection and rectangular geometry are among them. Among the elements of nature, water and plants are more important than others and always affect the other elements. A smartly combination of water and plants inspace design of Persian gardens indicates that all three approaches of conceptual, functional and aesthetic are well-matched there and in fact, the emergence of these three concepts in the whole garden is the secret of Persian gardens stability. The main goal in research is to achieve understanding of elements of Iranian architecture and their arrangement in the formation of a Persian garden.

Lalbagh Rethought Exploring the Incomplete Mughal Fortress in Dhaka, Bangladesh
International Conference on Universal Design in Built Environment ( ICUDBE 2011) Kulliyah of Architecture and Environmental Design International Islamic University Malaysia 22-23 November 2011 Lalbagh Rethought Exploring the incomplete Mughal fortress in Dhaka, Bangladesh Md Mizanur Rashid (PhD) Department of Architecture, Kulliyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ABSTRACT Lalbagh Fort is probably the most ambitious building activity undertaken by the Mughal rulers of Dhaka. Although the complex coined the name ‘Lalbagh Fort’ because of its huge fortification walls and gateways, the master plan and the layouts of the buildings that still exist suggest little or no similarity with the other Mughal forts either in Bengal or any other parts of India. The construction of the complex ran only for one decade and it was left abandoned for unknown reason. The brief history of the megaproject had been buried since 1688 and the fort remained incomplete till date. Several attempts have been made so far to recover the memories of this monument after the amnesia of centuries. However, the incomplete nature of construction, the limited amount of archaeological resource, literary evidences and epigraphic records at the disposal of the architectural historians appears as the main thicket. Filling up this lacuna using these apparently inconspicuous resources certainly put the existing discourse regarding this monument in a perplexed situation. This perplexity is the character of the architecture of Lalbagh today. It poses a long list of questions regarding its original master plan, its purpose and its history of construction, of which we are yet to provide definite answers being in a telescopic distance. -
