Begum Sertyesilisik, Visiting Prof. at the Liverpool John Moores University, UK Assoc. Prof. at the Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, Turkey vi FOREWORD The concern for climate change at the international level dates back to the end of the 1970s with the organisation of the first World Climate Conference, which opened the way to many intergovernmental conferences organised from the mid-1980s. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a state of knowledge on climate change and its impacts. Its first report released in 1990 confirmed the scientific evidence for climate change and the risk posed by human activities on the environment, playing an important role in the discussions on a climate change convention. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was adopted in 1992 during the Rio Conference. It represents the basis for a global response to climate change. It was expanded in 1997 with the creation of the Kyoto Protocol, that sets binding targets for industrialised countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2012. Climate Change affects both the environment and human beings. The strategies to mitigate this phenomenon and to adapt to its consequences also impact on the natural and built environment and on populations, be it through the implementation of wind farms, the adoption of a fuel tax or incentive measures for sustainable construction. While global in its nature, climate change has differentiated impacts at the local level, thus requiring a wide array of solutions to respond to the particularities of each situation. In many ways, climate change represents an obstacle to sustainable development but it can also represent the opportunity to rethink consumption and production patterns, to imagine alternatives to non-renewable sources of energy and to develop new technologies. The Kyoto Protocol requires industrialised countries to meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets primarily through national measures, while providing for international flexible market-based mechanisms (emissions trading, clean development mechanism, joint implementation). Over the years, we have witnessed a shift from mitigation to adaptation strategies, the two approaches now being advocated and combined. Indeed, it was recognised that it would be very difficult to limit an additional rise of GHGs to a satisfactory level and that negative impacts of climate change will actually occur. Current international discussions deal with these two approaches. On mitigation, climate scientists estimate that the world must cut its emissions by 80% by 2050 to limit global warming to a 2°C average rise compared to pre-industrial levels. Although it seems difficult, not to say unrealistic, to reach this objective, islands states and some African countries are even worried that such an increase in temperature

  • Comparative Compatibility Assessment on Reused Iranian Houses from Qajar Era
    v.XX n.x 2020 DOI: 104013/arq.2020.161.XX v.17 n.1 2021 DOI: 10.4013/arq.2021.171.03 COMPARATIVE COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT ON REUSED IRANIAN HOUSES FROM QAJAR ERA AVALIAÇÃO COMPARATIVA DA COMPATIBILIDADE EM CASAS IRANIANAS REUTILIZADAS DA ERA QAJAR Negin Nazari Moayed1 Özlem Olgaç Türker2 Abstract Reusing heritage buildings with a compatible function provides the opportunity to sustain their significance. In this regard, the listed traditional houses in Tabriz, as one of the historical cities of Iran, play an important role in presenting cultural heritage values. Privacy as an intangible aspect of culture along with both physical and socio-cultural factors, have played a major role in the spatial organization of traditional Iranian houses, and formed the access hierarchy in the interior spaces. The purpose of this study is assessing the continuity or discontinuity of interior spaces in original and reused states of listed traditional houses in Tabriz from Qajar Era, to contribute to a better understanding of compatibility of new functions with the existing heritage building. The research methodology is based on literature survey for defining the original functions and observation of interior spaces for defining the current functions of each space. Additionally, the analytical approaches of ‘space syntax methodology’ are used to achieve the access hierarchy in space organization of the houses. Findings are derived from the comparison of ‘relative depth value’ as a reflection of privacy; and ‘integration value’ as a reflection of accessibility in both states. Keywords: Residential interior Space, architectural conservation, space syntax method, space organization, space hierarchy. Resumo A reutilização de edifícios patrimoniais com uma função compatível oferece oportunidade de sustentar seu significado patrimonial.

  • 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.

Every window, during the Qajar and early Pahlavi period (18th and every stone, every wall and all the elements early 20th centuries). Here, these dwellings are studied of a building tell us a story. As Baillie-Scott puts as some already written texts with hidden narratives it “few things are indeed so strange as this concealed in the lines of the buildings in order to thaumaturgic art of the builder, he places stones reveal their syntactic as well as semantic implications. in certain positions – cuts them in certain ways, In this regard, ideas of some leading thinkers—such and behold, they begin to speak with tongues as Heidegger, Bachelard, Bollnow, Norberg-Schulz and Pallasmaa—about home and non-physical, – a language of their own, with meanings too spiritual, and existential aspects of dwelling will be deep for words” (cited in: Norberg-Schulz, 1985, reviewed to show how a house narrates us about its p. 111). The buildings speak, but to hear them multidimensionality. Then, considering the traditional it is necessary to be open to them and listen houses of Tabriz it will be shown that how the structure carefully. “Over and over again those who have of the houses and consequently their existential and been open to listen, have beheld the ‘saying’ ontological implications have been transformed into of works of architecture” (Ibid.).

A common element is called an iwan. This study investigates the indoor thermal comfort of a room adjoined to a talar in a traditional house which has an iwan, in Shiraz, Iran. The data related to the temperature and relative humidity of the room are used to calculate the thermal comfort index of PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) by considering the following two cases: a talar room with an iwan and one without an iwan, by means of DesignBuilder software. For the purpose of validation, the air temperature and relative humidity of the talar room with an iwan were measured over 10 days and compared to the results of the simulation. Having a valid simulation, computation was conducted for the selected house in various cases for an annual passive operation of calculating PMV and PPD. The numerical results revealed that the talar room adjoined to an iwan located in the south front of the courtyard had relatively good conditions during the hot months, including June and July.

  • TABRIZ HISTORICAL BAZAAR in the CONTEXT of CHANGE Dr
    Ateliers-débats Session 1 TABRIZ HISTORICAL BAZAAR IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGE Dr. Pirooz Hanachi School of Architecture, College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, Enghelab Ave. Tehran, Iran. [email protected] Solmaz Yadollahi Fourth floor no.6, Sazman-e Ab-e Gharbi STR.Behnam STR., Ayatollah Kashani STR. Tehran, Iran. [email protected] Abstract. As multifunctional urban complexes, Bazaars were gradually formed to meet the demands of their developers and users. In fact, a Bazaar was a place to centralize the inter-related interests of different groups of stakeholders. A number of these Bazaars including Tabriz historical Bazaar Complex (THBC) located in Tabriz city in the north west of Iran played a momentous role in the economic and social development of the region as the hubs of international commercial and cultural exchanges. Being a commercial and social ensemble and being able to cope with and contribute to the changing world, Tabriz Historical Bazaar has served a diversity of functions to different stakeholders throughout the history. Although after being affected by the intensive political, social and economic change in the industrialization and modernization era the Bazaar continued serving its functions to different generations, its contribution to the economic and mainly social development has experienced a remarkable decrease. In order to sustain the prospective contribution of Tabriz Historical Bazaar world heritage site to the life of the contemporary society and facilitate its protection process, this work aims to provide a profound understanding of the authentic characters of the Bazaar, the root and nature of its values, and interests of people involved with it.

Due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of users and their needs, today there are many changes in the current housing and construction debate, which has led to the anonymity of houses and the move towards standardization in the country, which results in dissatisfaction of users, changing social norms and Going will not have the native identity of the inhabitants. At the same time, approaching an architecture that is based on the knowledge of needs, lifestyle, indigenous beliefs that over time has become the culture of that community and assigns a specific identity to it, can increase the sense of belonging to the space and overall satisfaction of residents to be met.
