Please continue reading…

Looks like I can not get enough of Parvin Pezeshki’s awsome lecture 🙂 So here’s a cool photostream of The Prayer Room (Namaz khaneh) in Park Laleh, designed by Ms. Pezeshki. You can view all the related pictures which is way cool, but the link, specifically, will take you to the threshold of Namazkhaneh, where you have to take off your ragged shoes 🙂

Language in Architecture?

Hello everyone,

I have been thinking about something Dr. Ghomshei said during his presentation regarding Iranian Mythology and how our Language and Culture are intertwined with our Art and Architecture. I happened to come across this article in Hamshahri Newspaper which is relevant to that subject. Unfortunately it is in Farsi, and it is way too long to translate. If anyone is terribly interested, I’d be more than happy to give you a brief translation.
