Your question is so broad. What do you mean by Iranian Islamic Architecture? the forms? the design methods? the solutions provided for a certain design problem? patterns? techniques? It is good to narrow down your question first.
Hello, Safa!
It is possible, but here is no such thing as a "global" architecture worthy of that name. I would advise you to decide if you believe whether it is desirable to contemporize. I believe Islamic architecture is one of the treasures of world civilization. Maybe variations due to climate or maybe the elimination of heavy, hand-made ornamentation (it would be a pity because Islamic ornamentation is useful in structural terms, and also beautiful as style, and remarkable because it is timelessness and always seems remarkably fresh and new) could be considered. The typology is there, and it would not be hard to intervene on a type to make it less "classical". You already have the style, the rich and varied typology, the people who know how to craft ornamentation, etc. You can feel free to use what you have and adapt it, without losing your splendid traditions that have withstood time without loosing their quality and vision looking surprisingly innovative as architecture.
My best, Lilliana
Certainly, because it is so beautiful!
My mother took a tour of Iran (a while ago from Greece) just to admire the architecture.
I think so, there is no doubt about it.
For example there are a number of interesting contemporary architecture designs, launched for non islamic architects as Le Corbusier, Kahn or Jean Prouve in Islamic countries as Argelia, Bangla Desh, Punjab, Morocco and others.
They really approached to local cultural background, proposing contemporary designs and ebven a proper technolgical ideas. And all this stuff from a contemporary point of view.
I believe that there is a big difference between Iranian and Islamic architecture, since Islamic architecture was influenced by Iranian architecture.
Iranian architecture is adoptable but for Islamic art, I do not think so.
Thank you all for sharing your ideas...now I could contemplate much more better about my dissertation subject...
Regards, Safa
The brilliant architectures, which have been belonged to the second Pahlavi era, are perfect examples of the contemporized Islamic-Iranian architecture so it is possible that architects have the similar approach to design in contemporary era!
