This has, however, remained largely unrecognised internationally, as architects in Iran have had little exposure in publications abroad and the diaspora of well-known Iranian designers working in the West, such as Hariri \u0026amp; Hariri and Nader Tehrani of NADAAA, are not necessarily associated with their cultural background. Moreover Iran, or rather Persia, has one of the richest and longest architectural heritages, which has a great deal of untapped potential for contemporary design. The intention of this issue is both to introduce key works and key architects from a range of generations  at home and abroad  and to highlight the potential of historical structures for contemporary architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures Hariri \u0026amp; Hariri, Nader Tehrani of NADAAA, Farjadi Architects, and studio INTEGRATE.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlaces the spotlight on emerging practices in Iran: Arsh Design Studio, Flu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditorIal 5\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eHelen Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Guest Editors 6\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Mehran Gharleghi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpotlight 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisual highlights of the issue\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIran: Past, Present and Future\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel and Mehran Gharleghi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTowards an Architectural History of Performance: Auxiliarity, Performance and Provision in Historical Persian Architectures 26\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel, Defne Sunguro\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eğ\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003elu Hensel, Mehran Gharleghi and Salmaan Craig\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePersian Gardens and Landscapes 38\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eNasrine Faghih and Amin Sadeghy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorld of Similitude: The Metamorphosis of Iranian Architecture 52\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eFarshad Farahi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubterreanean Landscape: The Far-Reaching Influence of the Underground Qanat Network in Ancient and Present-Day Iran 62\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eReza Daneshmir and Catherine Spiridonoff\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContemporary Architecture of Iran 70\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eDarab Diba\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAssimilating the Authentic with the Contemporary: The Work of Hadi Mirmiran 1945–2006 80\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eSaman Sayar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractices @ Home: Assimilating the Past and the Present for a Visionary Architecture 88\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMehran Gharleghi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractices Abroad: Today’s Diaspora Tomorrow’s Architecture 104\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLatent Futures of Iranian Architecture 120\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eMichael Hensel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCounterpoint 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIran in the Regional Context\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eFarrokh Derakhshani\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors 135\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407197118807,"sku":"9781119974505","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/iran-9781119974505","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
