Shushtar New Town: a Turning Point in Iranian Social Housing History Shushtar New Town: A Turning Point in Iranian Social Housing History Rahmatollah Amirjani A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of Canberra 2020 1 Abstract The emergence of the Shushtar New Town housing project in 1977, designed by Iranian architect Kamran Diba, raised a great hope among contemporary Iranian architects and authorities. Diba’s design offered an alternative approach that stood against the existing housing issues and challenges caused by the government’s radical housing ideology, and the universalisation of Western lifestyle values. Yet, even while Diba’s Shushtar social housing project was receiving worldwide architecture awards, signs of erosion were gradually emerging in the project. Today, just a few parts of the original design remain unchanged, while the rest have been demolished or transformed by its residents. As a result, critics and historians were left with a number of questions: why should such an allegedly great pioneer project suddenly become one of the most prominent architectural loopholes in the housing history of Iran? What were the accountable design components of social housing that Diba failed to address? And how could the Shushtar New Town experience contribute to more general social housing discourses? These questions will be addressed through literature review, documentary research, observation, and descriptive data analysis. i Contents Abstract ....................................................................................................................................... i Form B ....................................................................................................................................... iii List of Figures ........................................................................................................................... ix Acknowledgments ................................................................................................................... xiii Chapter One_ Introduction ......................................................................................................... 1 Research Questions ............................................................................................................... 4 Research Methods ................................................................................................................. 5 Significance and Innovation .................................................................................................. 6 Limitations and Scope ........................................................................................................... 7 Chapter Two_ Social Housing: An Ongoing Story .................................................................... 9 Introduction ........................................................................................................................... 9 The State of Working-Class Housing before the Industrial Revolution ................................ 9 Industrialisation and the Rise of Social Housing ................................................................ 14 Company Towns ............................................................................................................... 16 Utopias .............................................................................................................................. 17 The Rise of the First Public Housing ................................................................................ 22 Social Housing and Utopia in the Early Twentieth Century: The Golden Age .................. 25 CIAM and the Question of Minimum Housing ................................................................... 29 Social Housing and Ideology ............................................................................................... 32 Social Housing After the Second World War: The Crisis ................................................... 36 From Machine Ideology to Particularism ............................................................................ 38 Social Housing: Commodification Versus Humanism ........................................................ 42 What is Happening to Social Housing?

After the advent of Islam which was emphasizing respect to guests in Quran verses and Hadith, equality and fraternity notions were added to the culture which leads to changes in Islamic urban framework. Despite the simplicity of walls and the similarity among houses which show equality between the rich and the poor, the connection point of houses to public passages, was a place for owner greetings and expressing fraternity to the pedestrians and guests who intended to enter the house. In this study, 21 traditional houses in traditional context and 58 contemporary dwellings (apartments and houses with yards) were investigated based on explanatory descriptive method in 3 cities of Iran. Furthermore, hidden religious concepts in greeting (invitation, welcoming, permission and acceptance) were evaluated and their manifestation in traditional Iranian framework (Safavid and Qajar period) in cultural domestic setting was also studied. Finally, continuation or absence of these concepts at the moment of entering the privacy of present houses will be discussed.

Moreover, beyond the specific reasons for the protests, they appeared to reveal a deeper reality about Iran, both before and since the 1979 emergence of the Islamic Republic: its character as an inherently “revolutionary country” and a “movement society.”2 Since its formation, the Islamic Republic has seen multiple cycles of protest and revolt, ranging from ethnic movements in the early 1980s to urban riots in the early 1990s, student unrest spanning 1999–2003, the Green Movement response to the 2009 election, and upheaval in December 2017–January 2018. The last of these instances, like the current round, began with a focus on economic dissatisfaction and then spread to broader issues. All these movements were put down by the regime with characteristic brutality. © 2020 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

  • 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.

Every year around the world, a large number of people lose their home and life due to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. It is necessary to provide and specify some suitable places for settling the homeless people before occurrence of the earthquake, one of the most important factors in crisis planning and management. GIS has a vital role in crisis management. By using GIS, it would be possible to manage the spatial data and reach several goals by making use of the analyses existing in it. Among the applications of GIS in crisis manage- ment there is location of suitable and safe place for settling the injured people after the occurrence of the earthquake.
