    TANGIBLE - INTANGIBLE HERITAGE(S) – DESIGN, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES ON THE PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE • Paper / Proposal Title: The Impacts of a Political Quarrel on Heritage: The case of traditional Bazaar in Tabriz • Author(s) Name: Ali Rad Yousefnia • University or Company Affiliation: Master of Architecture (M. Arch) in Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey • Presentation Method. I would like to: i. present in person (with a written paper) • Abstract (300 words): Bazaar as the core, has shaped the urban form of many traditional Iranian cities. Without Bazar, a settlement is not considered as a city. Several functions can be listed for Bazaar due to its close spatial relations with different parts of the urban form. Activates like social, religious and cultural activities are among these examples. Nowadays, Bazaar considers as one of the most valuable heritages in Iranian cities. Tabriz, as one of the important and effective cities on the silk road, connected several regions. It was the connection hub with Europe and Anatolia on its West, Caucuses and Russia on its north, Persia and Middle East on its south and east regions. During the transition from tradition to modernity, the Bazaar of Tabriz had been the target of several changes and transformations. One of the most crucial and destructive acts which affected the structural and physical form of Bazaar was the street widening act enacted under the Reza Shah’s reign and continued through the ruling years of his son MohammadReza Shah. This act tore down the old and historical urban fabric in almost all cities in Iran between 1920 and 1960.

  • 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.

As the important city economic center Bazaar with other elements such as Jamee masque, Imamzadeh, schools, palaces and government seat and city gate at the center of city or as a connection of city gate with city center has a special value and thus can be considered as the chief priorities for restoration of historical context of cities.

The link of bazaar to the urban area is important as well; connection between city and bazaar and vice-versa in Iran is the main issue; question of this study is that: ”What are the main factors that have affected the structural development of the historical bazaars?” Furthermore, it is assumed that the urban elements as the "external factors" and the architectural elements in bazaar as the "internal factors" have affected the structural development of bazaar; so the side question of the study is: "What are the reasons for formation of two parallel" Rasteh Bazaars” at the Tabriz bazaar?"; which seems that "earth-quakes" and "change of urban centers" to be the key factors in this parallel Rasteh. The genre of the study is fundamental-theoretical, which has been conducted through historical-interpretive method; the materials required for this research has been gathered through library studies, historical documents, field survey on the historical bazaars of Iran, as well as the historical Bazaar of Tabriz.
