The Story of the Domestication of Zayandeh Rud River
Offered By: TEDx via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the unique relationship between the Zayandeh Rud river and the city of Isfahan in this 17-minute TEDxEsfahan talk by Mohammad Arab. Discover how the river becomes an integral part of the city's culture and identity, interacting with and influencing urban life rather than simply passing through. Learn about the two key components that facilitate this integration: the green margins surrounding the river and the presence of historical bridges. Gain insights into Arab's architectural background and his approach to understanding the context and content of projects, including the analysis of hidden layers and the dialectical relationship between humans and designed spaces. Reflect on how architecture impacts contemporary human behavior and daily life over time in this thought-provoking exploration of urban planning and cultural identity.
