Taking Maibud as a case study, Eisa Esfanjary traces the evolution of ancient settlements chronologically, thematically and methodologically. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaibud provides the basis from which a new interpretive approach is developed, being a city that has a history of several millennia yet has a scale that renders it manageable with archaeological remains that range across several phases of building development. An archetypal example of middle-sized Persian cities, it affords insights into the entire urban landscape and its spatial, functional and morphological iterations. Within this overall picture, a methodology is developed to explore various morphological elements of the city, the three key components of which are the town plan, the building type, and construction materials. The inter-relationships between these three components are explained in order to formulate an approach to support the management and conservation of the historic urban landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining a rigorous survey and observation of the standing structures with scarce archaeological and written sources, this book sheds light on Islamic urbanism in general and Islamic urbanism in Iran particularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eisa Esfanjary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474412785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474412780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Eisa Esfanjary","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073002074367,"sku":"9781474412780","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72d1b9c3-957d-447f-8c41-15ab7878d280.jpg?v=1685445220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/persian-historic-urban-landscapes-eisa-esfanjary-9781474412780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
