For this reason, starting from general considerations of our countries of origin, we wanted to collect in this article some of the most representative examples of water treatment all over the world in three different fields: the outdoor spaces, the indoor spaces and the in-between spaces, both public and private, to mark the role of water in the designing of architectural process in the last 25 years and proposals for the future not so far.展开更多

基金When I was in Tehran three years ago,I had the opportunity to visit and meet some architects:this was the starting point to investigate Iranian architecture,especially the residential sector.I would like to acknowledge the seven architectural firms which answered my call and sent me photos and diagrams of the case studies chosen:Admun Studio,Faezeh Hadian Design Studio,Alidoost&Partners,Keivani Architects,Ayeneh Office,TDC Office.Thanks also go to Parham Rashidi for his valuable support in contacting the architects.
