[ 1 ] - The Theory of “Living Time ” in Periodization of Iranian Architectural History
The writing of Iranian architectural history has, from its start, followed the principles of western historiography. Portions of this history are well expected to be neglected or unattended when writing of it takes place outside its intellectual framework that essentially reflects the Iranian throught world. To have a truly Iranian architectural historiography, one has to find the theoretical p...

[ 3 ] - مفهوم معماری در برهۀ گذار از دورۀ ساسانیان به دوران اسلامی، درآمدی بر تاریخ مفهومی معماری ایران
The common division in Iranian architectural history to two separate periods - pre-Islamic and Islamic - which was once efficient, has gradually lost its motivating power. Such a cliché had consequences including disregarding the architecture of the very transitional era from the late Sassanid to the early Islamic period.

[ 4 ] - درآمدی بر تاریخ ذهنیت عامه در معماری ایران
The architectural works that remained from the long history of Iran are indeed treasures of Iranian architecture. However, these works are not perfect manifestations of the architecture which had been realized in Iran during centuries. Most of what we have inherited from this architecture are monuments. Such majestic works can hardly lead us to the major part of the architecture, which is popul...
[ 5 ] - جایگاه مفهوم معماری در نظام طبقه‌بندی علوم مسلمانان در سده‌های نخست هجری با تکیه بر اندیشه‌های ابونصر فارابی

[ 7 ] - علم عقود ابنیه: کلیدی برای فهم نسبت علم و معماری در جهان اسلام
علم عقود ابنیه نخستین بار به این نام در ارشاد القاصد ابن اکفانی (سدۀ 8ق) یاد شده است؛ اما تأمل در تعریف و متون منسوب به آن معلوم می‌کند که این علم پیشینه‌ای کهن‌تر دارد. نخستین نشانه‌های آن در احصاء العلوم فارابی و با عنوان «علم ریاست بنا» یافت می‌شود. هیچ متنی از دوران اسلامی به‌دست ما نرسیده است که انتساب به این علم در آن، یا در دانشنامه‌ها، تصریح شده باشد؛ فقط سخن از این است که ابن هیثم و اب...
[ 8 ] - Architecture of Art and Magical Architecture in Shahnama

In this world, architecture is of two kinds: thearchitecture that has its roots in art, and the architecture that stems from magic.
