The Reproduction of the Spirit of Place Identity in Architecture and Urban Structure, Case Study: Al-Ghadir Neighborhood in Kerman

The intention of this paper is to define the concept of the spirit of place, and then to identify methods for its preservation in historical urban contexts. In fact, this study seeks to answer the question whether the spirit of the place and its components can be derived from tissue structure to improve? And whether we can weave his old identity in psychological indicators - human behavior foun...

Design of a Walking Wheelchair for the Motor Disabled

A proof-of-concept prototype walking chair for the motor disabled is proposed with the objective of demonstrating the feasibility of a completely new approach to mobility. Our prototype system consists of a chair equipped with wheels and legs and is capable of walking on uneven terrain and circumventing obstacles. The important design considerations, the system design and an experimental protot...

AbstractA proof-of-concept prototype wheelchair with legs for people with motor disabilities is proposed, with the objective of demonstrating the feasibility of a completely new approach to mobility. Our prototype system consists of a chair equipped with wheels and legs, and is capable of traversing ...

A historical experience of local seismic proof shelters in Quchan-northeast of Iran

Despite the utilization of several earthquake resistant traditional techniques in Iranian architecture throughout the centuries, the high seismic vulnerability of Iranian vernacular constructions is obvious. One of the latest innovations in building earthquake-proof emergency dwellings, prior to introducing the modern seismic design codes, took place during the successive destructive earthqu...
