Zero Carbon & Low Energy Housing; Comparative Analysis of Two
World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Civil, Structural, Construction and Architectural Engineering Vol:8, No:7, 2014 Zero Carbon & Low Energy Housing; Comparative Analysis of Two Persian Vernacular Architectural Solutions to Increase Energy Efficiency N. Poorang II. CLIMATE OF IRAN Abstract—In order to respond the human needs, all regional, As it was mentioned the climate of Iran is varied according social, and economical factors are available to gain residents’ comfort to the vast geographical locations, Fig. 1. Iran is basically and ideal architecture. There is no doubt the thermal comfort has to satisfy people not only for daily and physical activities but also divided into four climatic regions: creating pleasant area for mental activities and relaxing. It costs • Mild – Humid Climate energy and increases greenhouse gas emissions. • Cold Climate Reducing energy use in buildings is a critical component of • Hot – Humid Climate meeting carbon reduction commitments. Hence housing design • Hot – Arid Climate [1]. represents a major opportunity to cut energy use and CO2 emissions. In terms of energy efficiency, it is vital to propose and research Hot-arid Climate prevails in most parts of the central modern design methods for buildings however vernacular Iranian plateau, it receives almost no rain for at least six architecture techniques are proven empirical existing practices which month of a year, and hence it is very dry and hot. In this have to be considered. This research tries to compare two climate, summer is very hot and dry and winter is very cold architectural solution were proposed by Persian vernacular and hard. -
History of Architecture
Caravansarais Islamic Architecture No’man Bayaty Introduction • Islamic civilization is mobile civilization. • At its simplest form, the caravanserai is a building that hosts a caravan. • It is the largest building type in Islamic architecture in terms of area. • It had a large courtyard with stables for animals. • It had several names: caravanserai, khan, funduq, ribat, manzil. These names show the ambiguity of the function of this building. • These different names lead to different building types, and thus different forms and functions. Architectural Origin • Because of its multi functional nature, many buildings might offer a source for the caravanserais, and there were a few building types that might give these buildings an initial form. • Some theorists refer to the relationship between caravanserais and the Christian monasteries spread on the Arabian lands. • There is also some resemblance between them and the Roman forts, which had the same form, a fortified wall with a courtyard and rooms inside. • They might also be affected by large Assyrian houses, because of the similarity in form and function. General Considerations • We have two main settings for caravanserais, urban and rural. • Crowded areas inside the cities lead to minimum spaces problems in urban caravanserais. • They also used to sell goods, an activity unavailable in rural caravanserais. • They also needed less fortification. They must held merchants and shopkeepers for a daily basis, not temporarily. • The rural ones were more fortified, and larger in size. • The styles of the caravanserais overlap and merge, complicating the task of classifying them. Iranian Caravanserais (Early) • The early Iranian caravanserais range from very small buildings (Zindan-i- Harun) to some large structures (Ribat-i-Sharaf). -

With the expansion of the Caravanserai, was the spread of black madonna temples, African rites and rituals, and dark goddesses. (RGS.) Dark Mothers. The veneration of the dark mothers began to spread throughout all continents following the african intercontinental dispersions including anatolian trade routes. (AO: 1-2.) The caravanserai (or Turkish kervansaray) was a roadside area, structure or inn for pilgrims, traveling tradespeople, and their animals providing lodging, substance, trade and marketing opportunities. In addition to providing food and temporary lodgings, many caravanserais also included a black madonna temple, shrine room, holy of holies, sacred cave or adjacent rock shelter. Tethered to the advancement of the caravanserai, was also the spread of African rites and rituals, black madonna temples, and dark goddesses. This was especially apparent with the Phoenicians. * Devotion to the great goddess of the Levant was prolonged by the Phoenicians who lived along the Syro-Lebanese coast in the first millennium BC and were great seafarers and traders. -

(PIJ) Is One of Those Palestinian Groups One Hardly Hears Of, but Who Plays a Crucial Role in Gaza and Has a Radical Approach in the Fight Against Israel
THE UNCERTAINTY REVOLVING AROUND THE PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is one of those Palestinian groups one hardly hears of, but who plays a crucial role in Gaza and has a radical approach in the fight against Israel. For this reason it has been blacklisted as a terrorist group by the United Kingdom (November 19 2001), the United States (November 27 2002) and the European Union (December 21 2005). Just like Hamas - and under some respects even worse than Hamas - the Islamic Jihad portrays its political and military fight against Israel in a religious light, thus making its initiatives more radical. Its military operations have unequivocally taken the shape of acts of terrorism. The armed struggle as a jihad, or holy war, makes the cohabitation with the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine (PLO) - the umbrella group that gathers the majority of Palestinian groups - extremely difficult. Relationships are even more tense with the political branch of the PLO, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). In fact, the PLO is an assembly of basically secular groups, closer to marxism in the past and with little or no ideological contact at all with islamic extremism. Under this respect, the Islamic Jihad competes with Hamas for the leadership of radical Palestinian islam. It is not by chance that the group benefits from the support and proselytes in the Gaza Strip thanks to its hardcore stances as opposed to those recently taken by Khaled Meshal's group. If islam is used by Hamas in an ideological and theological key, the Islamic Jihad employs religion politically. -
Diary of 2009 Trip to Iran 4
WORLD LEADERS MIDDLE EAST PRE-SYMPOSIUM EXTENSION TO IRAN By Jo Saeta IRAN AND TRIP PREPARATION Phil and I did lots of reading this time in preparation for our pre- trip to Iran as well as the main trip to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Phil read Professor Diamond’s book “The Spirit of Democracy.” I read about 200 pages of it and then relied on his notes. He read all 800 pages of The Missing Peace— the Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace. By Dennis Ross. It sounded like it was the word for word descriptions of negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis for peace. I got a flavor of negotiations by reading Aaron David Miller’s book The Much Too Promised Land, a book about Israel which also gave me a flavor of negotiations. He replaced Ross as a speaker on our trip once Obama had tapped Ross. Phil read it on the trip and we both read Robin Wrights book Dreams and Shadows, a book that touched on several countries in the Middle East. We both read excerpts from James Baker’s book. I also read Infidel by Ayaa Hirsi Ali (a book club book) which gave me a fine background of what it is like to grow up in a religious Muslim family. I also read Jared Cohen’s book Children Of Jihad. It spoke a lot about Iran- the Iran that most tourists never see of the teenagers and young twenties set and how they do what they wish not in strict observance of the rules. -
