    Kashan Kashan is a city in the Isfahan province of Iran. Kashan is the first of the large oases along the Qom-Kerman road which runs along the edge of the central deserts of Iran. Its charm is thus mainly due to the contrast between the parched immensities of the deserts and the greenery of the well-tended oasis. Archeological discoveries in the Sialk Hillocks which lie 2.5 miles (4 km) west of Kashan reveal that this region was one of the primary centers of civilization in pre-historic ages. Hence Kashan dates back to the Elamite period of Iran.The Sialk ziggurat still stands today in the suburbs of Kashan after 7000 years. After world known Iranian historical cities such as Isfahan and Shiraz, Kashan is a common destination for foreign tourists due to numerous historical places.Kashan Province is renowned over the centuries for its ceramic tiles, potter) textiles, carpets and silk, Kashan is an attractive oasis town and also the birthplace of the famous poet Sohrab and the artist Sepehria.

  • Persian Heritage: a Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development
    International Journal of Cultural Heritage E. Abedi, D. Kralj http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijch Persian heritage: A Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development ELAHEH ABEDI1, DAVORIN KRALJ2, A.M.Co., Tehran, IRAN1 ALMA MATER EUROPAEA, Slovenska 17, 2000 Maribor, SLOVENIA2, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In every country, heritage plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development. Iran, a high plateau located at latitudes in the range of 25-40 in an arid zone in the northern hemisphere of the East, is a vast country with different climatic zones. In the past, traditional builders have presented several logical climatic solutions in order to enhance human comfort. In fact, this emphasis has been one of the most important and fundamental features of Iranian architecture. To a significant extent, Iranian architecture has been based on climate, geography, available materials, and cultural beliefs. Therefore, traditional Iranian builders had to devise various techniques to enhance architectural sustainability through the use of natural materials, and they had to do so in the absence of modern technologies. Paper describes the principals and methods of vernacular architectural designs in Iran with given examples which is predominately focused on some eclectic ancient cities in Iran as Kashan, Isfahan, and Yazd. Design and technological considerations of past, such as sustainable performance of natural materials, optimum usage of available materials, and the use of wind and solar power, were studied in order to provide effective eco architectural designs to provide the architectural criteria and insights. This study will be beneficial to today architects in the design of architectural structures to provide human comfort and a sustainable life in adverse climatic conditions.

  • Knife-Making Most Famous Handicraft of Zanajn Province
    April 24, 2021 The first phase of the project to renovate the historical castle of Barkooh Village, Sarbisheh, South Khorasan Province, has been launched, said head 5 of the city’s Cultural Heritage Department Hadi Haqpanah, chtn.ir reported. greetingiran.com Hegmataneh Museum Iranica Desk he Hegmataneh Hill is one of the largest archeological mounds in Iran, located in Hamedan Province, western Iran. T Built in the 8th century BCE, Hegmataneh, also known as Ecbatana, which means ‘the place for conven- tion’, was designated the capital of the Median Empire, IRIB News reported. The construction of Hegmataneh is attributed to Deioces, the founder and the first king of the Median Dynasty. Various structures were built in the city during the Achaemenid Empire as the city was also picked as the summer capital of the Persian Empire. Parts of the city, which is stretched over some 40 hectares, have been unearthed through multiple excavation seasons. Different parts of the surrounding wall and a number of houses have been exposed throughout the years. Only five percent of the city has been uncovered through 22 seasons of archeological excavation in the area. The height of the remaining parts of the wall, which is nine meters in width, varies from eight to 12 meters in different areas. Huge towers were built along the wall all around the city. Some 300 pieces discovered in the ancient hill are kept in the Hegmataneh Museum, east of the mound. Pedestals belonging to the columns of the Achaemenid palaces, namely the plinths dating back to the era of Artaxerxes II, the 10th king of the Achaemenid Dynasty, are on display.

  • Re-Reading Iranian Vernacular Architecture from a New Perspective from 1961 Until Now Marjan Arbabzadeh1, Iraj Etessam2*, Seyyed Majid Mofidi Shemirani3
    Bagh-e Nazar, 17(86), 59-74 /Aug. 2020 DOI: 10.22034/bagh.2019.193734.4209 Persian translation of this paper entitled: معماری بومی ایران در خوانشی نوین، از دهۀ چهل خورشید ی تا کنون is also published in this issue of journal. Re-Reading Iranian Vernacular Architecture from a New Perspective from 1961 until Now Marjan Arbabzadeh1, Iraj Etessam2*, Seyyed Majid Mofidi Shemirani3 1. Ph.D. candidate, Department of Architecture, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. 2. Professor, Department of Architecture, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. 3. Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Science and Technology University, Tehran, Iran. Received:17/07/2019; revised:25/12/2019; accepted:29/12/2019; available online: 22/07/2020 Abstract Problem statement: The lack of identity and a sense of attachment to place and lack of attention to climate, nature and history have led modern architecture to face major problems. This has encouraged contemporary architects to search for solutions to fix the predicaments caused by modern architecture. This research is an attempt to understand how the integration of architecture, history and nature can offer a design that can satisfy today’s needs while benefiting from advanced technologies. Research objective: The purpose of this study is to find the key ideas in vernacular architecture by focusing on climate criteria that can be combined with new technologies It is hoped that the ideas form the basis of contemporary concepts and pave the way for sustainable architecture. The possibility of examining the text of vernacular architecture from another perspective leads to the creation of a new language based on a direct reference to or a symbolic interpretation of the text This is also another question to which the response can help us achieve the goal of this study Research method: The study is interpretive-historical and it is qualitative in nature.
