Although a few thousand years ago, very few individuals were able to travel to other\u003cbr\u003enations, at the present a majority of populations are able to travel to other countries to get knowledge about\u003cbr\u003eother cultures, other peoples, and other architectural features. Today, millions of people travel to other\u003cbr\u003ecountries just to see how peoples, foods, living environments, and forms and designs of buildings in other\u003cbr\u003ecountries look like. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present series is a contribution to make available for all people around the world to see in pictures\u003cbr\u003ethe architectural features (i. e., forms, designs, decorations of buildings) in selected countries. It is a\u003cbr\u003ecomparative, pictorial introduction of architectural features in six selected countries to show the talents, \u003cbr\u003eskills, and masterships of builders in creation of architectural forms and designs in the selected countries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore specifically, there are two main architectural styles in Europe (--as well as in mountainous countries\u003cbr\u003esuch as Armenia and Georgia, ) and in Iran. While a stone architecture is common in Europe and in the\u003cbr\u003emountainous countries, a clay architecture is used in Iran. A comparative display of the two styles, the\u003cbr\u003estone vs. clay architecture, therefore, is the main theme of the series titled: \u003ci\u003eA Comparative Display Of Art\u003cbr\u003eAnd Architecture. \u003c\/i\u003eThe second volume of this series is about architectural styles in Georgia (Tbilisi) and Iran. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing a functional-equivalency approach, the series focuses on architectural features from Europe and\u003cbr\u003emountainous countries and Iran that, while structurally are different, functionally are similar or have similarity\u003cbr\u003ewith each other. For example, both a church and a mosque are religious buildings with similar functions but\u003cbr\u003ewith different structures. Although there are numerous published books about art and architecture in Europe\u003cbr\u003eor in Iran separately, but none makes a comparative introduction using a functional- equivalency approach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present series, therefore, should be regarded as the first original work that seeks to present a comparative, \u003cbr\u003epictorial introduction of two different architectural styles, stone vs. clay architectural styles, by displaying their\u003cbr\u003emain features side by side. For example, the illustrations are grouped into several categories (Introduction)\u003cbr\u003e[ i. e, 1) Historic or Heritage Buildings; 2) Stone (Khachkar) vs. Brick or Tile decorations; and 3) Religious\u003cbr\u003eBuildings: Churches vs. \u003ci\u003eJam'a\u003c\/i\u003e mosques]. (Otherwise, assuming that the images collected and presented in\u003cbr\u003ethis volume are also presented randomly in some other books about art and architecture in Armenia or in Iran, \u003cbr\u003ean estimated 50 to 100 books on the subjects of art and architecture in either Georgia or Iran should be\u003cbr\u003ebrowsed over, here or there, to find similar images collected in this volume.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume II of this series compares architectural features in Georgia (a country in the Caucasian region) \u003cbr\u003eto similar, clay architectural features in historic cities of Iran. The work is expected to make available\u003cbr\u003efor the readers a quick and an easy comparative views of the architectural forms and designs from\u003cbr\u003eGeorgia ( Tbilisi ) as compared to their similar, clay architectural features in historic cities of Iran.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hossein Manoochehri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798853307063\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43967216451699,"sku":"9.79885E+12","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_803624df-3f3c-47ac-8d59-5fa8c5a96b2b.jpg?v=1760180638","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/georgia-tbilisi-and-iran-a-comparative-display-of-art-and-architecture-volume-ii-9798853307063","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
