In this article, a brief look at the history of ancient Iranian art before Islam, its characteristics during the Parthian rule, and the study of the monuments left over from that period, especially the palaces and the influence of ancient Greek architecture on them. Parthian period, due to the succession of the Seleucids, the Greek and Iranian domination over the Greek culture and architecture were widespread in Iran, one of the most important periods of the history of Iran. The Parthian era culture is a culture that tries to dominate the remains of Greek civilization and culture to bring Iran to re-establish. Parthian win this battle and inspiring inventions and innovations of the Sassanid civilization and Islamic culture of Iran. Overall, what is interesting is the dramatic Parthian architecture are among the Porticoes wide open courtyard surrounded by columns attached to the wall.

Perhaps one of the advantages of this new material, creating massive arch of the dome is first and then create a new architectural style were the architects of the Sassanid indebted. City maps with Hypoderm been carried out in some cities. But the main feature of the Parthian city circular design in cities such as Marv, Ctesiphon and Hart seen.

The career of Sir Aston Webb (1849-1930) is arguably one of the most impressive of all late-Victorian and Edwardian architects. Living in an important era in British social, political and cultural history, Webb's career and rise to prominence paralleled one of the most exciting and transitional periods in the history of British architecture, with his course reaching its peak by achieving the rank of Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) President, the President of the Royal Academy (RA) and RIBA Town Planning Chairman. Renowned architectural historian Alastair Service (1977 and 1979) for instance, noted that regardless of the architectural ideals of the period the greatest practice in terms of the sheer volume of work or money earned was that of Webb's, yet history has largely ignored Webb's importance partly due to his designs lacking the stylistic creativity of many of his generation. This proposed paper therefore will thus rectify this situation through highlighting Webb's largest work, the Queen Victoria Memorial Scheme (1901-12) –a monumental undertaking on a par with contemporary American City Beautiful projects, which with the London County Council's Kingsway- Aldwych plan 'Hausmannised' the metropolis. By this means the work will also demonstrate how Webb was not merely an architect of unappreciated ability, a designer who arguably more than any other of his time helped define British civic design and town planning in practice prior to the onset of World War One in 1914. ; La carrera de Sir Aston Webb (1849-1930) es posiblemente una de las más impresionantes de todos los arquitectos tardovictorianos y de la época eduardiana. En una importante época de la sociedad, la política y la historia británicas, la carrera de Webb y su salto a la fama anduvieron paralelos a uno de los períodos más excitantes en la historia de la arquitectura británica, alcanzando su pico de protagonismo cuando le concedieron el rango de Presidente del Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), el de Presidente de la Royal Academy (RA) y el de Presidente de Town Planning de la RIBA. El célebre historiador de arquitectura Alastair Service, por ejemplo, apuntó que, a pesar de los ideales arquitectónicos del período, el mayor arquitecto en términos de volumen total de trabajo o de dinero ganado fue Webb, aunque la historia haya ignorado casi absolutamente su importancia, debido en parte a que sus proyectos carecían de la creatividad estilística que poseían muchos de sus coetáneos. Es por ello que en este artículo se intenta rectificar esta situación, subrayando la importancia del trabajo más grande de Webb, el proyecto del Queen Victoria Memorial (1901-1912) –una empresa monumental a la misma altura que los proyectos American City Beautiful, que junto al plan London County Council's Kingsway-Aldwych "haussmanizaron" la metrópolis. De este modo, este trabajo también demostrará que Webb no era simplemente un arquitecto de incomparables aptitudes, sino que posiblemente fue el diseñador que más ayudó en este período a definir el diseño cívico y la planificación urbana británicas de un modo práctico, antes del comienzo de la Primera Guerra Mundial en 1914.

After the failed revolution in 1956 an intensive development began around the Lake Balaton in Hungary. It was a manifestation of political détente but was driven also by the economic interest, as an investment in tourism. The new regional plan included a survey on monuments, which was extended also on vernacular built heritage. The paper presents the findings of the survey and compares them with the planned and realised buildings, and with the architects' manifestations. The investigation includes public buildings which gave the bulk of building activity in the first period, but it analysis also the awardwinning designs of weekend houses submitted for a competition in 1958. The research concludes that while decades later some architects remembered this time as when 'the spirit of the vernacular was in the air' the buildings were not fully in tune with this statement, against the previously welldocumented built heritage. The duality of placeform and product-form that is of tradition and technology – or vernacular and modern – was interpreted by the majority of architects as either/ or problem. by the middle of the 1960s this battle ended with the victory of technology. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Open Design refers to a stakeholder-oriented approach in Architecture, Urban Planning, and Project Management, as developed by the Chair of Computer Aided Design and Planning of Delft University of Technology. This edition collects the following three volumes on Open Design: 1) Open Design, a Collaborative Approach to Architecture, offering concepts and methods to combine technical and social optimization into one integrated design process; 2) Open Design and Construct Management, Managing Complex Construction Projects through Synthesis of Stakeholder Interests, offering a new approach to mana

Material is the substance of the world of things. Literary sources suggest that materiality was part of aesthetic perception, loaded with meaning and bound to function even in antiquity. To date, this complex reading of material has not been adequately represented in archaeological research. The present volume addresses this oversight by examining the decorative use of material in Roman Italy between the Late Republic and Early Imperial period.

"This book addresses the relevance of the case study research methodology for enhancing urban planning research and education in Africa and the global South. It is the outcome of a project operated by the Association of African Planning Schools (AAPS) from 2007 to 2011 to enhance case study research capacity amongst African planning students and academics. The editors and contributors argue that case study research can produce contextualized and empirical accounts of African urbanization and planning processes to challenge outdated assumptions underpinning urban planning education and practice in many parts of the continent. The volume features case studies and examples of innovative teaching practices from contexts including Uganda, Malawi, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa"--

Architectural practice in the Stalinist USSR saw the sudden and rapid revival of historical forms and styles. One approach interprets this development as part of a reactionary shift in Soviet temporal culture, a "Great Retreat" across all spheres of social and political life. The rival conception sees in historicism an aesthetic of "timelessness" and "perfection," which expressed Stalinism's self-characterization as an eternal, utopian present. This paper presents a third perspective, arguing that the revival of historicism stemmed, paradoxically, from a future-oriented impulse. This revolved around the charge that Stalinist architecture "immortalize the memory" of the era, to ensure posterity's gratitude and admiration. Accordingly, Stalinist architects drew upon supposedly enduring historical styles, which they expected to remain understandable to future generations. Further, time-tested traditional materials, forms, and decorative mediums were employed to ensure the physical durability of Stalinist architectural monuments. The paper concludes by situating this logic in the global context of interwar monumental architecture and considering some implications for our understanding of Stalinist temporality.
