Kashan: an Iranian City in Change

This book is intended primarily to document scientifically and without nostalgia an extraordinary urban and architectural phenomenon and the rich social substratum, which inspires it from. It goes beyond the scientific documentation of the monuments; it wants to be a therapy for the architectural amnesia in the contemporary world. A therapy, which set up in Kashan, can be adequate in many other similar conditions in Iran and around the Dar al-Islam. The therapeutic memory retrieval requires the guidance of a solid theory.
