8. A Comparative Study of Residential Facades in Tehran and Iranian Architectural Principles
Challenges and Strategies
Chapter of: Housing, Heritage and Urbanisation in the Middle East and North Africa(pp. 141–162)
In Chapter Eight, Honey Fadaie examines the facade designs of residential buildings in metropolitan Tehran through the lens of traditional Iranian architectural principles. After identifying the main characteristics of Iranian facades, she analyses the design of selected buildings, evaluating the strategies of municipal committees tasked with aligning these facades with identity and climatic considerations. Based on this analysis, she then presents the most successful criteria and outcomes across Tehran’s twenty-two districts.
