Game Architecture: Yard Comparison between yarded houses in Iran and other countries Research Scope of expansion of houses with yard in East countries consists a long chain from Iran as far as North Africa and contains many countries like Iran, Iraq, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. In some of those countries, in addition to houses with yard, some yard less houses are also built. In other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, widespread species of multistory houses without yard are built. In every region, with regard to climate specifications and current architectural culture, houses with yard are formed. Notwithstanding those differences and various specifications, faith and belief of religious culture, result creation of a sanctuary for private life of residents. Then yard and organization of different spaces around yard, play an important role to achieve this aim. Yard in those countries has an utmost similarity to yards of coastal cities of Iran in Persian Gulf, specially to Bushir and in some instances are alike fully closed yards of Central Iran.

In some regions of China and on the lands of Shwanasi Province, a collection of "Yaudangs" are built. Yaudang is a house with yard, built on the slope of hills, by pressed argil. Houses, built on the slope of hills, are usually without a yard, in all the entire world and in Iran and opening of various spaces over look toward opposite side, but here we have a different case. In a way for security reasons, for protection against aggression of other tribes or clans, complex is built on hill. In other way, house space could not be wide-opened, because of drastic winds along with dust. The main spaces of house might not open to this wind and due to under-zero cold of winter, benefiting daily sunshine of winter in yard was possible.

13. New Zealand Architecture between the architecture of New Zealand and those of other countries was the “Louis Hay Architect”, Peter Shaw, 1998. “Old New Zealand houses 1814 http://www.dayout.co.nz/att_architecture.asp

New Zealand Architecture Buildings in New Zealand tell a unique story of immigrants - from both Polynesia and Europe - coming to a strange land and adapting known building forms to new conditions and materials. The immigrants found large, forested islands which had a temperate but highly variable and sometimes extreme climate. Combined Traditions The earliest buildings in New Zealand were the humble huts of the first Polynesians. By the time of European contact, the Maori had evolved a particular building type, the meeting house, which is the only building unique to New Zealand. In form it was a simple, gable-ended structure with an open porch at one end, but it was a building integrated into its setting, the marae-atea, and a building which is, in a real sense, the ancestor after whom most are named. By the mid nineteenth century the meeting houses were generally highly carved. These wharenui, or meeting houses, play a role in community life unlike the role played by any European-derived buildings, even churches. Some of the most exciting and original buildings in New Zealand (the Futuna Chapel in Wellington and the Arthur's Pass Chapel for example) marry the form and spirit of the Maori meeting house with traditions drawn from European architecture.

Architecture After Islam Advent of Islam in Fran (635 A.D.) gave rise to great upheavals in architecture, and laid the foundations for Islamic architecture all over the world. To be sure, no Persian building from the first two Islamic centuries have survived, but from third center onward, Islamic building flourished rapidly and marvelously expanded during the next centuries.A great surge of building works together with unique decorations and calligraphy appeared in these centuries. The new chapter which was opened in the Islamic period led to the creation of remarkable religious buildings. Iranian arts such as calligraphy, stucco, mirror work, and mosaic work, became closely tied together in this new era. Islamic architecture and building decoration are among the most beautiful means of expression. Decoration does not play such an important role in any other type of architecture. The archaeological excavations have provided sufficient documents in support of the impacts of Sasanian architecture on the architecture of Islamic period. According to a classification suggested by Zaki Mohammad Hossain, the fourth period of Iranian architecture (from 15 through 17 Centuries) is the most brilliant period. Various structures such as mosques, mausoleums, bazaars, bridges, and different palaces have mainly survived from this period. In the old Iranian architecture, semi-circular and oval-shaped vaults appeared and Iranians showed their extraordinary skill in making massive domes. Domes can be seen mainly in the structure of bazaars and mosques, and particularly in the historic buildings of Isfahan. Iranian domes are distinguished for their height, proportion of elements, beauty of form, and roundness of the dome stem. The outer surfaces of the domes are mostly mosaic faced, and create a magical view.

18. Winged Sandals: History: Greek Architecture Almost all ancient Greek houses had a courtyard, open to the sky. Most of therooms of the house faced Ancient Greek architecture in other countries http://www.abc.net.au/arts/wingedsandals/history6.htm

@import url(/arts/wingedsandals/css/styles.css); Houses The most richly decorated room in the house was usually a room called the andron , which means men's room . This room was where men would invite guests and where they held their symposia . Couches were arranged around the sides of the room, where the men would recline while they ate and were entertained. Sometimes the andron would have a mosaic floor. Temples The most impressive buildings in most Greek cities were the temples. There were many temples in every city, and each of them was dedicated to a different god or group of gods. The most impressive temples in a city were often built of stone, sometimes even marble; for example, the Parthenon . The Greeks did not gather together inside the temple to worship their gods, they gathered outside. The temple's main function was to house the offerings to the gods. Often the largest and most expensive offering was a statue of the god. The statue of Athena in the Parthenon, for example, was made of gold and ivory, was almost 12 metres high and contained approximately 1144kg of gold. The statue of Zeus in the temple at Olympia was considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. Because the Greeks gathered outside, rather than inside their temples, there was usually not very much space inside a temple and the building was really meant to look best from the outside. Although the ruins that we see of temples today tend to be very plain, in ancient times they were usually covered in sculptures, and parts of the temple were painted, mostly in blue and red. Often the sculptures on the temples depicted myths that were important to the god or the city which built the temple.

The 20th Century Architecture of the University of Edinburgh Clive B Fenton Although the University's architecture makes a highly visible contribution to the city's physical form, historical data on the 20th century projects is minimal. In order that the University's buildings can be properly understood a history of its architectural endeavours is required. Essentially the aim is to clarify the historical context. Following an empiricist agenda, the research involves detailed examination of archival material to ascertain who, why, where, what, how, when and for whom building projects were undertaken. In this respect the University is like a dynasty of patronage - the aims and motives of which must be assessed. Similarly, the artists who have been commissioned are worthy of attention since the works for the University are only part of their oeuvre. The major projects this century have involved architects and planners such as A.F. Balfour Paul, Robert Lorimer, John Matthew, Charles Holden, Sir Basil Spence, Sir Robert Matthew, Sir William Kininmonth, Alan Reiach and Michael Laird. After the First World War, a science campus was established in the suburbs. Then, in the 1940s the expansion of the University involved creating an urban campus within the densely built urban fabric. This latter project eventually led to the University's involvement in a scheme for urban redevelopment in the 1960s. In addition, the University initiated several key restoration and conversion schemes of 17th, 18th and 19th century buildings and so can be said to have been an early participant in what was `to become a significant national trend in architecture.

The Library, the Museum and the Fair pavilion: architectural policy just idling at a time of accelerating construction activity Triin Ojari The result: the project, initiated by a few enthusiastic geologists, completely lacks any kind of state support. The local budget could, at most, afford to pave the parking place in front of the museum... The only hope is to attract international interest. einst@einst.ee
