- Title
World of Similitude: The Metamorphosis of Iranian Architecture.
- Authors
Farahi, Farshad
- Abstract
How can an ancient architectural heritage become a rich resource for inspiration rather than a burden or a limitation? Moving away from a conventional formal analysis of historic architecture, which identifies particular periods with specific styles or characteristics, Farshad Farahi suggests an approach that unites the contemporary philosophically and spiritually with its past - by seeking out an imaginary dimension or 'World of Similitude'.
