About the Book

Shiraaz is a historic cities as well as the capital of the Fars province of Iran. The historic cities of Iran, founded centuries ago, host many features of the indigenous architecture of Iran. The indigenous ( or the clay) architecture of Iran is a unique architectural genre characterized by the use of mud-bricks as well as dome-like roofs for the ceilings. Traditional tiles and tile-works, furthermore, are used for the interior and exterior decorations of the buildings.

Although there are many historic cities in Iran, seven of them are selected in this series. They include: Kermaan City, Kaashaan, Naaein (Naa-een), Shiraaz, Persepolis, Isfahaan City, and Yazd City. Volume IV of this series covers main indigenous, architectural features in the historic city of Shiraaz.

Because of a modernization process in Iran from about 1950s, however, the clay architecture in Iran, as well as in Shiraaz, has been abandoned and historic buildings and structures have been demolished to be replaced by apartment complexes and by modern buildings made up of metal skeleton and concrete blocks. The present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before they are completely wiped out in a modernization process.

Shiraaz is a historic city in Iran which is located about 600 miles south of Tehran. The date of the foundation of this city is about 500 B.C. when Persepolis ( about 30 miles northeast of Shiraaz) was selected to be the Capital of the Persian Empire. Shiraaz is a modern city with many modern buildings. In the old section of the city, however, features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present, such as the Jam'a mosque, traditional houses, baazaars, dome and arch by mud-bricks, clay, koochehes (narrow alleyways), and the Arg-e Karim Khan (or Karim Khan's Citadel).

Volume IV of this series invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Shiraaz for a review of the samples of the clay ( indigenous) architecture in this historic city. Many features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present in this city, such as: the Jam'a Mosque, the traditional, baazaars in the Vakil's majmoo'ah ( complex), dome and arch by mud-bricks, clay, koochehes (narrow alleyways).

The revised edition of the Volume IV (III) of this series (copyright 2021), invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Shiraaz, for a review of the samples of the clay ( or the indigenous) architecture in this historic city. Noted architectural features in Shiraaz are displayed in this volume, including the Karim Khan's Fortress ( the Arg-e Karim Khan), the Qur'an's Gate, the Sa'adieh, the Hafizieh, the Vakil's mosque, the Vakil's baazaar, the narrow alleyways (the koochehes)., and the tile-works and vaulted ceiling at the Nasir-ul-molk Mosque.
