I found this video while randomly searching through youtube. I found it rather interesting because even though it is modern, it still has a lot of the elements of old Persian architecture, especially if you notice the stairs to the roof, such as was the case in Yazd. Also the water pond in the centre of the home to act as a cooling system. It also contains one of my favourite things about Persian architecture which is the use of geometry and angles. Enjoy!

This is a very interesting article on the history of Iranian tile which I think could help any one of us to understand what we have studied so far in the course. Please take the time to read it.

I uploaded this video because it has amazing photos of the monuments and their “sophisticated” decorations. The music is distracting though :S
Enjoy
