Abstract: (3104 Views)
As historical resorts, caravanserais played a role in welcoming and accommodating travelers. The route of Silk Road passed through numerous routes, cities, and deserts, and without caravanserais, it would have been unimaginable to pass through these arid and barren oases. The region of Iran is also one of these. It is not an exception and has diverse climate and environmental conditions, and the existence of caravanserais in these crossings was vital so that we see the establishment of countless caravanserais in this geographical area. The central region of Iran has been very important in the distant past due to the presence of cities and Rey town. For that reason, it has been the central focus of passages and roads. That explains why countless caravanserais used to be built in its vicinity. This research is based on a comparative study of suburban Sangi and Haj Kamal caravanserais in Robat Karim, in terms of the architectural form in the southwest of Tehran province. These two caravanserais have different styles from each other. The main focus of the present research is on the reinterpretation of the architecture of the aforementioned caravanserais. This is the first research that has investigated the physical characteristics of caravanserais in the Robat Karim region so that their hidden values can be known. This comparative study will ultimately lead to more optimal restoration and retrieval of the lost and damaged parts of the caravanserai. The research method of the present study is based on library studies, field research, comparative study, and interpretation and analysis of the gathered data. The purpose of this article is to introduce and recognize the studied caravanserais. This research attempts to review and examine tangible heritage aspects of Iranian caravansarai in the region of Robat Karim.
Keywords: Silk Road, Caravanserais of Robat Karim region, Spatial organization, Spatial circulation, Geometric proportions
