Abstract: (2760 Views)
Before international discussions on the principles of sustainable development began, Iranian architecture had inherently embraced sustainability features. From construction techniques to the respect shown for nature in the selection of urban locations and the development of buildings, these principles were embedded. The main objective of this paper is to uncover the approach to sustainable development embedded in the expansion of historical complexes in Iran. The Shah Nematollah Vali Historical Complex, located in the garden city of Mahan, is an example of the flourishing of Sufi mysticism in the Kerman region from the 14th to the 19th century CE. This research addresses some overlooked issues related to the gradual expansion of the structure by posing two key questions: 1) What stages did the expansion of the complex, in alignment with its function in each period, involve? 2) How have the sustainability features manifested in the development of this complex? The findings, derived from the study of historical sources, examination of inscriptions and decorations, as well as the perspectives of rulers in each period using a descriptive-analytical approach, indicate that the initial core of Shah Nematollah Vali’s mausoleum was constructed shortly after his death as a solitary tower tomb adjacent to his dervish lodge. Due to various factors, both the structure and the person buried within it have attracted the attention of kings, neighboring countries, local rulers, and the public over different eras. One of the outcomes of this attention has been the sustainable development and expansion of the complex, with consideration for its garden city nature, respect for environmental issues, economic factors, and social fabric, along with continuous preservation and restoration efforts. These factors have contributed to the survival of this unique architectural complex to the present day. This study examines the expansion of the structure from the lifetime of Shah Nematollah Vali (14th and 15th centuries CE) until the late Qajar period, as well as the transformations it has undergone up to the present.
