This book analyses the use of the past and the production of
heritage through architectural design in the developmental context
of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political
shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary
approach toward complex relationship between architecture,
development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that
transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in
relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as
the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that
development has been a globalizing project that originated in the
West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a
renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The
authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture,
examining the theoretical context to the debates, international
exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of
housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic
public architecture that reflect monumental time. -- .
