A project-course (as part of the X-Tutorials) at the Global Center on Spatial Methods for Urban Sustainability, Institut für Stadt- und Regionalplanung ISR, Technische Universität Berlin
Description:
In this research project, we will identify and investigate historical patterns of housing typologies in the old neighborhood of Emamzadeh Yahya, Tehran. With 130 years of history, it distinguishes itself with its large quantity of old buildings, as well as the traditional forms of housing typologies. The neighborhood showcases a myriad of mixed-use spatial typologies ranging from housing/storage, housing/retail as well as housing/workshop. The distinct condition of the area provides us with a rich context for a critical examination of a developing neighborhood. Through studying plans and layouts of various buildings, this research aims to examine physical transformations in urban housing and thus demonstrate various typologies of spatial developments. With the students, we will use the transdisciplinary approach of urban studies, as well as typological and graphic analytical methods. Advanced bachelor and master’s students of Historical Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Architecture Typology, Architectural Restoration, Civil Engineers, Political Science, Sociology, History and Culture Studies, as well as Geography and Urban Economy students and other disciplines by arrangement, can take the seminar.
Date: Wednesdays 2:00-5:00 pm, Start: 10/13/2021
