Book Launch of Persian Vernacular Architecture: Lessons from Master Builders of Iran on Climate Resilient Design

Please join us for the book launch of Persian Vernacular Architecture: Lessons from Master Builders of Iran on Climate Resilient Design.

The book, edited by Ali Cheshmehzangi and Sue Roaf, offers a compelling exploration into the wisdom of traditional Iranian building practices, urging contemporary architects to embrace time-tested design principles for climate-resilient, sustainable architecture. The book emphasizes how vernacular architecture, shaped by local climate, materials, and cultural practices, provides invaluable lessons in creating energy-efficient buildings that thrive without modern mechanical systems.

With insightful case studies and practical recommendations, it challenges architects, researchers, and policymakers to reimagine buildings that are both harmonious with their surroundings and resilient to future challenges.

The book launch will include a special panel event with Ali Cheshmehzangi, Sue Roaf, Ali Rad Yousefnia and Liza Neil.
