| dc.description.abstract | "Most of the existing buildings constructed during the Qajar era in Iran have outlived their initial owners, surroundings, and functions. Their remainders strongly mimic the past, creating a divergence between what once was & what is today. The majority of these treasures are currently deteriorating, leaving nothing but piles of dust, being eventually replaced by fabricated structures. Throughout the recent years, there has been a heightened interest in the new generation of architects and designers in Iran to revive these structures, cautiously preserving & restoring them back to their glorious existence, whilst giving them a new function. By transforming them into boutique hotels, they not only attract foreign tourists, but also local architecture and design enthusiasts across the country. [...] The aim of this research paper is to tie a link between the strategic theories developed in the 21st century and their implementation on the existing historical buildings constructed during the Qajar era, seeking to determine which of the strategies are best suitable to employ on these particular structures. [...] The outcome of this research will be reflected in the fifth chapter, the bachelor thesis project, a design proposal for the Bafandeh Historical House and its reprogramming to a boutique hotel & the project conclusion, serving to represent a personal strategic approach. The intention of this research is to provide a basis for projects tackling the same building typology, its challenges and the methods architects can undertake guaranteeing a successful outcome with the help of the theory of adaptive reuse." | en |
