Community based architecture 3
Today, the most well-known innovations of Iranians in the field of architecture and engineering can be found in many responsive functions of Iranian architecture, all of which, without exception, are all aimed at solving the need of people’s daily lives, windbreaks over time and destructive desert winds from A wall became a restraint and conductor of wind, the aqueduct changed its function from the need to supply water to agricultural lands, which were nothing more than wells, to a huge network of water supply for Iranian houses and cities, from the pattern of people coming and going to buy Circulation), they built a bazaar and flour was produced by the people of Nahr Dastkand, an Achaemenid wolf that had been dug to irrigate the village of Band-e Qir. But these were all the first steps of Iranian civilization that stopped somewhere, the promotion of engineering from one period to another gave way to art and Iranian art lost the competition to modernity and there was no evolution!
In my opinion, the key to Iranian engineering, which distinguishes it from many parts of the world, is the way they deal with the four elements, which, by blending their art with it beautifully, create new achievements and develop them to some extent. Periods of time have led to the production of various and important processes and processes to meet the needs of their time, and its method is the soft and hard skills of the architect and his tools are water, wind, earth and fire. It is said that in this age of iron and technology, it means backwardness, while the creativity and maturity of the architect in this way turns backwardness into components of community-based architecture.
One of the main differences between architecture and design, although they have very close and complex edges to each other, is the “pattern of sustainability and responsiveness” of the two, which either makes it a masterpiece or a temporary achievement (5 to 20 years) in Your field. This pattern of longevity can be valued all over the world based on a simple formula that can be discussed elsewhere, but with a very simple measurement it can be seen that many works of award-winning correction these days do not have either of these two, but At best, they do not have the basic component of architecture, which is to be here or to be local. The important point here is that many people misinterpret the issue of locality in forms or even climatic components, while the main component is culture and method. It is the interaction of the people of that neighborhood that cannot be extracted from its past architecture.
