Transmitting Architectures: Analysis of the Projects of Iranian Architectures in Foreign Countries. J. Civil Eng. Urban., 5 (6): 249-256

Building and Architecting are complex tasks that are affected by many things. Architecting abroad and for people of different cultures requires special patterns. The environment is one of the affecting factors on design. Architecting in the environment puts special orientation in front of the architecture. This article is from a research that discusses the projects of Iranian architectures living abroad. The key questions here are that “What is the common orientation of these architectures in design?”, “Why they tend to design in these manners?”, “What are the effects of the Iranian Nationality and Iranian-Islamic Culture and Patterns on these architectures design?”, “Have these architectures and designers got some attempts on introducing the Iranian Architecture to the world?”, “Where have the Iranian Architecture Patterns manifested in these architectures projects?” To answer the preceding questions, gathering many opuses of Iranian architectures living abroad, we are about to find out the reasons of success of these architectures, their design orientations and inspirations, the effect of the environment on their design and the manner of using archetypes and Iranian-Islamic culture and traditional architecture in their projects. Data gathering has been done through archive studies and by combined methods in data classification and conclusion in various levels. Comparison of these projects in various classes and sub-classes was very helpful in analysis of gathered data and made it easier to reach an accurate way of analysis and architectural criticism. So, using the percentage charts, we could have accurate conclusions of the derived results in this article. All the affecting factors on design procedure have been studied in this article and the most important factors of durability of these projects has mentioned and according to this, the projects of each architect has analyzed and criticized.
