Накратко на български

Двуслойните тухлени куполи в Иран и Италия показват как строителните техники са се пренасяли по Копринения път през вековете. Анализът на тези структури помага да се разбере историята на архитектурата и консервацията чрез материален обмен между Европа и Близкия изток.

Architectural Technology Transfer on the Silk Road: Iranian Double-Shell Domes and the West: 14th to 20th Century

DOMES explores the shared architectural heritage of Europe and the Middle East by tracing the transmission of architectural knowledge along the Silk Road during two historical periods: from Seljuk and Ilkhanate Iran to medieval Italy during the 11th-14th century, and from Italy to Iran during the second half of the 20th century. Challenging traditional stylistic classifications, the project centers on structural techniques—specifically the construction and restoration of double-shell brick domes—to offer a more material-based, site-specific understanding of architectural history. DOMES investigates two key forms of knowledge exchange: the medieval transfer of dome-building technologies from Iran to Italy, and a reverse flow of preservationist knowledge from Italy to Iran in the 20th century. By examining previously unpublished archival material in multiple locations in Iran and conducting on-site analyses of historic restorations, DOMES aims to reconstruct a global history of construction and conservation practices. While Italian domes have been study in depth, Iranian counterparts did not receive the same scrutiny and lack fundamental modern survey data. Thus, in order to adequately compare structures in Italy and Iran, modern techniques have been employed to fully understand the forms and structures of Iranian domes, and related archival collections in Iran and Italy have been studied to find the historical and social context to their construction and the restoration carried out by Italian experts in the 1960s-1970s. DOMES ultimately seeks to restore the historical continuity of technical and cultural exchange across Eurasia, offering a new model for understanding medieval architectural history through material and collaborative lenses.

Цел на проекта

DOMES is an exploration of the shared architectural legacy of Europe and the Middle East. Specifically, my project details the transmission of architectural knowledge across the Silk Road from Persia to medieval Italy during the fourteenth century. Utilizing an innovative research methodology, DOMES aims to overcome traditional classification of architectural history based on the linear evolution and comparison of styles and forms, to promote a more comprehensive account of the history of construction, nourished by the material understanding of site-specific traditions. Utilizing structural building techniques as the basis for the project, DOMES focuses on the transmission of two types of architectural knowledge: technical knowledge and preservationist knowledge. This project proposes that the technological knowledge of building double-shell brick domes was originally transferred from Iran to Italy. Furthermore, DOMES investigates the historical exchange of Italian architectural restorers and Iranian preservationists through the study of the restorations of the same double-shell brick dome monuments during the 1960-70s. Through the combination of the study of unpublished archival documents in Tehran and the on-site analysis of the restorations carried out on monuments, DOMES will provide an innovative example of medieval global architectural history and will narrate the transfer of preservation knowledge from Italy to Iran.
