Let's judge a little about our country's architecture and do correct valuation Iran's architecture in comparison with world architecture, see in which level is our country's architecture and how defined architectures rule is society and professional world level are. If we come back a little and consider 40 and 50 decades, we will see how big architectures, in a distance less than 3 or 4 decades, could create works which unexaggeratedly will gleam many years as symbols of modernity entrance and it's confrontation with Iran's architecture. We can enumerate many cases as mental and practical discontinuity of that era's thought which has been very important. Nowadays also maybe we observe effectiveness of same type of done actions in previous decades especially in construction era; but this we don't want return back an satisfy mental vacancies of Iran's today society's architects by fault finding of past! Besides, deal with future also seems useless because of conditions which govern Iran's architecture! Always custom is this that we tie past concert to future ambitions and mottos and flee from place and time that we are in it. We never have tried to believe our society's reality, Endeavour in a framework which is necessity of our economic, social and even political conditions.
For many years, we have presented our selves with a very much pride to world under the shade of perspolis and Nagsh-e-jahan square and have avoided any new motion and rethink in architecture process and other group also with another type of such a self-doubt resorts to world and introduces their tools and thoughts as the most correct path for achieving to true architecture. all of them are said and even used which we are not able to know position that are in it: without considering the degree of today architect's abilities or concept which are available in the mind of agents and people about architecture, consider techniques given by the outside of the socially, whether by Iran's traditional architecture or west world, and can not reach a desirable result.
What we see in the architecture of 80's in Iran. Is the activity of big architects and consulters who sometimes profit by the presence of same coworkers of European countries and generally have had wide educations in different countries?
In this decade of Iran's architecture, even having access to considerable number of books and sources about Iran's traditional architecture also is possible. One of the others specifications of this decode is that new techniques and materials have entered into Iran's market and if we consider that same of the architects of Iran's 40's and 50's still alive, we will observe a suitable bed for growth and development of architecture knowledge but in such as bed with such a possibilities which we have observed less in previous decades, Iran's architecture is in a lamentable situation. If we look realistic around, we will see that our three previous decades souvenir is not anything except several architecture works which can be raised in country scale and their numbers don't violate of hand fingers and other constructions are not important in this several remained works also we can not find an expression of effective thought presence and or an approach which can repair broken ship of our architecture and mentioned as good nor true works.
Iran's today architects and those who stand in high position of mastership and multiplicity of their offices projects and look at people and society proudly and with an indescribable self-glorification, do they suggest which path or method for saving from the mire of wandering and disillusionment? We should accept that there is not so high thought among thinkers of our today architecture, and if it exists, willingly or not, exposed to the command of dominant power on architecture and have resorted to a defensive isolation.
Neither Takht-e-Jamshid nor Agha Bozorg-school mosque and nor single works of Dutch architecture (which today even newcomer students also copies them) can not be proper model for today architect.
This architect is a human who lives in the forth world with thousands of imitations and great talents our society is very affected by modern world and its achievements: and our architects cannot escape it and we should not forget that architecture which nowadays manifests exaggeratedly and tries to change the world's peculiarities is not superior to sciences and techniques…
Our architecture should be realistic and know that our society and architecture can be formed and developed according to our achievements, not according to treasures that east and west imposed U.S and reviewed thousands of in classroom and various associations. We should start something new and before everything we should think about producing thought and contemplation of architecture.
In such a disturbed area we can't find any prefect architect and architecture. unless we know our position without Exaggeration and without using the conceptions and thoughts of ancients and the west, and offer accurate and correct analysis by a meditation far from inspirations and excitements of the world architecture.
Many people try to portrait a thought and conception in the mould of building or in design and image of a tableau and think if they do so the created work will have a special and depth and content. If the selected concepts are more philosophic and historic, them they will seem more valuable, equally, and maybe this interpretation leads same architects to repeat the successful samples of Iran's architecture history or imitate this honorable architecture. We acknowledge that our past and architecture and literature have had high depth and content and every artist and architect's duty is that investigate and search about the history and findings of his past generation and use their experience. However repeating and imitating of architectural works and buildings by this imagination that revival and reconstruction historical treasures seems a vain and unwise work. It is likely in many social and cultural fields, most of thinkers regret about the past and instead of offering a new theories and methods in association with tradition, and recognizing stabilization of current situation in opposition with west world. They see new findings and conceptions vain and worthless. Therefore during recent decades Iran with such a connectional and philosophical records in artistic and especially architectural fields is not able to protect ancients' benefits.
Artists and architects, today, read, write and discuss abut what has happened and finished. Life does not continue by memory of past and regret and remorse, it is a kind of standing still. While many of architectural memorials and masterpieces of this country, ruin in their obscurity and nobody pay attention to this issue contrast between speech and action brims in words and teachings of architecture, and this waves of our ignorance and neglect undermines Iran's art and thought in other words as Bahram Hoshyar Yousefi says: "generally, researcher's approach towards reaching to a individualism concept and influenced by Iranian-Islamic architecture and geometry, although is a perfect sample of Iranian action within the post-modern valley and in opposition to it's non-Iranian type, but tens years record of this kind of behavior towards architecture, clearly indicates to its superficiality and is a kind of vicious circle in its repetition.
