Traditional architecture in Iran
Laurie Baker’s alternative approach to the design and development of affordable housing
Revitalisation of historic cores is beset with complexity, especially when seen in linear terms of development, as backward versus modern. The order of spontaneous physical development has become obsolete in the modern world. Yet in Tehran’s Historic Core, the traditional bazaar has shown resilience and continues to grow and thrive. Oudlajan, the residential area has been gradually abandoned, however, and the decaying houses are warehouses for th…

Laurie Baker’s contribution to the continuation of vernacular architecture in India
Vernacular architecture is a response to the facts of local geography and climate. The house form, materials and techniques of construction used in vernacular architecture are an effective response through appropriate or sustainable technology. Fascination with Western modernity has excluded this reality from architecture and planning in India. Laurie Baker's faithful continuation of his responsibility to build for India according to Gandhi's adv…

Iran’s Nomadic tribes represent part of its rich cultural heritage, and retain traditional knowledge in the sustainable management of the arid nation’s rangelands. Mobile pastoralists constitute 2.1% of the national population and own one‐third of the total livestock, using the country’s otherwise unused rangelands, which cover about 963,000 km2 (59%) of Iran’s land area. Iran’s pastoral stockbreeders produce more than 200,000 tonnes of red meat,…
