About the Book

Kermaan City is a historic city in Iran. The historic cities of Iran, founded centuries ago, host many features of the indigenous architecture of Iran. The indigenous ( or the clay) architecture of Iran is a unique architectural genre characterized by the use of mud-bricks as well as dome-like roofs for the ceilings. Traditional tiles and tile-works, furthermore, are used for the interior and exterior decorations of the buildings.

Although there are many historic cities in Iran, seven of them are selected in this series. They include: Kermaan City, Kaashaan, Naaein (Naa-een), Shiraaz, Persepolis, Isfahaan City, and Yazd City. Volume I of this series covers main indigenous, architectural features in the historic Kermaan City (-- a city that an Iranian historian claims to be the birth place of mankind).

Kermaan City is the capital of Kermaan Province, a southern province in Iran, with an estimated date of settlement from the date of prophet Solomon (Introduction). Many features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present in this province, such as clay castles, Jam'a Mosque, wind-catching towers, baazaars, dome and arch by mud-bricks, clay, ice reservoirs, koochehes (narrow alleyways), and the qanat irrigation system. Because of a modernization process in Iran from about 1950s, however, the clay architecture in Iran, as well as in Kermaan, has been abandoned and historic buildings and structures have been demolished to be replaced by apartment complexes and by modern buildings made up of metal skeleton and concrete blocks. The present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before they are completely wiped out in a modernization process. The revised edition of the Volume I of this series (copyright 2021), invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Kermaan City for a review of the samples of the clay
( or the indigenous ) architecture in this historic city.

Noted architectural features in Kermaan City are displayed in this volume, including the dome-like roofs, the traditional baazaar, the wind-catching towers, the traditional public baths in two majmoo'ahes (complexes), narrow alleyways, a clay Ice Reservoirs (Coverpage), and the grand Jam'a mosque of Kermaan City (c. A.D. 15th century).
