  • Un Paseo Por La “Torre De La Libertad” De Teherán
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Universidad de Zaragoza Un paseo por la “torre de la Libertad” de Teherán A diferencia de otras capitales mundiales como París, Roma, New York..., Teherán (Irán) es mucho menos conocida. Es por este motivo que al hablar del Monumento a la Libertad o Monumento Shahyad, en honor al Sah (el emperador de Irán), que tras la revolución iraní de 1979 cambió de nombre a "Torre Azadi" (en idioma persa, significa Libertad), es uno de los monumentos contemporáneos más desconocidos a nivel mundial, aunque esta construcción está situada en una de las entradas a la capital iraní, por lo que su silueta y los 45 metros de altura la hacen inconfundible, siendo visible desde muchas zonas de la urbe, en especial de noche cuando está completamente iluminada [Fig.1].1 Fig. 1.- Vista de la Torre Azadi Fig. 2.- Retrato Col. Christian Triebert Col. Hossein Amanat. El gobierno iraní, para conmemorar el 2.500 aniversario del Imperio Persa, convocó un concurso que ganó con tan sólo 24 años de edad, el joven arquitecto Iraní-canadiense graduado por la Universidad de Teheran, Hossein Amanat en 1966 que formó parte de la revolución cultural iraní de 1979 y durante la que tuvo que huír del país por su creencia religiosa Bahá'í, trasladándose a Canadá en 1980. Asimismo este primer proyecto arquitectónico le dió la oportunidad de crear algunos de los proyectos más distintivos de su país, ya que siempre tuvo como referencia la arquitectura tradicional persa.

  • The Official Opening of the Terraces: Reflections of a Participant There Was No Doubt It Was Going to Be an Amazing Week

Our hearts overflow with joy, our heads are bowed in gratitude to the Blessed Beauty, as we contemplate the astonishing success of the ceremony that inaugurated the Terraces of the Shrine of the Báb. The awe-inspiring, worldwide effects are reflected in the many messages being received here from different parts of the planet where telecasts of the event via satellite were seen. It is too soon to assess the immediate impact of this unexampled global proclamation of the Faith; nor can its implications for the progress of the Cause be immediately understood. There can be no doubt, however, that so vast a proclamation will accrue towards the advancement of the process of entry by troops, on which the energy of the loved ones of Bahá'u'lláh everywhere must be even more intensively focused than before. During the course of these events, we released two messages conveying our current views of the meaning of what transpired in the Holy Land.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Rafooneh Mokhtarshahi Sani Supervisor Examining Committee 1. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Türkan Uraz 2. Asst. Prof. Dr. Nazife Özay 3. Asst. Prof. Dr. Rafooneh M. Sani ABSTRACT Monumental architecture is reservoir of memories which can stand as symbol of the cities and even countries with the embedded meaning in their form and operation. This kind of structures can link the past and the future like the rings of a chain. In addition they have the potential to create and support the identity of a nation. The glory, dignity, culture, tradition and thoroughly the history of a nation can represent through the monumental structures. These structures can have variety of types including historical buildings or complexes, modern structures with advanced technology, landmarks, etc. Since during the last decades, identity crisis has been a major problem for contemporary architecture, the aim of this study is to survey the relation between national identity and monumental buildings and to recognize how monumental buildings contribute to create national identity.

  • Fazel Khakbaz Tehran, 2014
    Fazel Khakbaz Tehran, 2014 the monument, its images and histories Niloofar Kakhi Visiting Research Fellow, University of St Andrews, Institute of Iranian Studies, Niloofar, [email protected] Architectural representations of national identities are often monumental buildings that similar to the national ideologies they support are essentially ‘constructed from above’. These monuments are constructed by the states in order to represent the official understanding of nationalism to the public. In 1971 and on the occasion of the celebration of the 2500th Anniversary of Persian Empire, a memorial building –Shahyad e Aryamehr– was erected in Tehran. Yet, Shahayad with its specifically calculated design and most carefully selected visual references, hardly managed to represent the event or the idea of a glorious past for that matter. Far from the idea of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the king of Iran at the time, the monument constantly managed to represent the ‘present’ conditions of the country, and since its erection in Tehran, it has constantly been associated with a variety of often contradictory ideas: frustration vs. hope, freedom vs. constraint and revolution vs. stability. All these meaning has been associated with Shahyad in different episodes of modern history of Iran until today. This history could not have been narrated through Shahyad’s architecture and the visual appearance of the building, but only through its photographs. As part of an ongoing research, this paper will focus on how the photographs taken from a monumental building can represent a far more sophisticated and detailed historical narrative than the architecture of the building itself. It will analyse the photographs of Shahyad, published in the leading press as the representative of the most critical episodes of modern history of Iran until today and unfolds how the meanings that Shahyad was associated to, has changed during the last 45 years.

  • Art of Architecture and Design for Urban Art Spaces: Case Study of Tehran
    European Online Journal of Natural and Social Sciences 2014; www.european-science.com Vol.3, No.3 pp. 541-548 ISSN 1805-3602 Art of Architecture and Design for Urban Art Spaces: Case Study of Tehran Ehsan Tavasoli*, Qasem Matlabi and Solmaz Tatari Department of Architecture, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran *E-mail: [email protected] Received for publication: 16 March 2014. Accepted for publication: 10 July 2014. Abstract Urban art center has been designed aiming at memorable and statuary architecture creation which is considered as a place for artistic, cultural and social interactions for public. This kind of construction attempts to satisfy its addressees’ esthetic feelings to attract their attention to the art thereby provide public and artist interactive empathy as well as spiritual relaxation and fill intellectual gaps. Reinforcement of esthetic concept - these days necessity of our architecture - results in a well prepared environment for art growth and reinforcement within all social classes. Results from theoretical basics indicate that in spite of abundant resources around art there are weaknesses and deficiencies within its significance and necessity of scientific recognition and search for esthetic criteria. Keywords: Urban Spaces, Art, Beauty, Form, Statue of Architecture. Introduction One of the desirable qualities for urban spaces is being memorable. In other words, if a space is capable of creating opportunities of memorable events for its viewers, it will be welcomed more by people and results in more viewers visiting urban spaces (Carmona, 2010). Spaces with capability of putting citizens and tourist together in themselves will be considered alive and dynamic which pass to other generations.
