　View Summary

Promoting understanding of housing with buffer territory by making a guidebook for its representation While housing according to the standard of building energy efficiency act is promoted by the ministry, Okinawa prefecture enacted alternative standard of climate adapted house, which is called housing with buffer territory. We made a research about effects and characteristics of housing with buffer territory and compiled “a guidebook for representation of house planning and design suitable for climate of Okinawa" which can be used for explanation according to the building energy efficiency act and utilized for understanding housing with buffer territory.

Physical features and analysis of traditional mosques: The case of Quzzat quarter of Herat Old City, Afghanistan

ASIM Ghulam Mohammad, SHIMIZU Hajime

Built Heritage ( Springer ) 7 2023.07 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

　View Summary

This study examines the physical features of traditional mosques in the Quzzat (Bardrani) quarter of Herat Old City, Afghanistan. Traditional mosques are constructed with locally available materials and are planned based on cultural and climatic conditions. Mosques are categorised as modern or traditional. Traditional mosques are divided into three subcategories: preserved, damaged (defaced), and transformed. Transformed mosques are formerly traditional mosques reconstructed with modern or industrial materials (concrete and reinforcement). This study explores the distribution of mosques and analyses their plan typology. Mosques are categorised into five plan types, and three relative case studies are described in detail to provide a better understanding and an in-depth analysis of mosque typology.

Analyses and architectural typology of preserved traditional mosques in the old city of Herat in Afghanistan: the case of Quzzat Quarter

Ghulam Mohammad Asimm, Shimizu Hajime

Built Heritage ( SPRINGER ) 6 2022.10 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

　View Summary

The study aims to analyse the architectural typology and determine the period of construction for the preserved traditional mosques of the Quzzat Quarter in the Old City of Herat (known as the Pearl of Khorasan). Twenty-nine mosques are located in the area, three of which are modern and 26 are traditional. Twelve out of the 26 traditional mosques still exist and have preserved their traditional landscape. Using analogy to analyse water cisterns and mosques, we determine when each mosque was developed and establish the period of development for each structure. Further analyses are carried out on the edifices’ architectural details. Architectural analyses and mosque typologies suggest that five buildings were built before the Timurid dynasty; two were built during the Timurid dynasty (1370−1507 CE); and one was built after the Timurid dynasty. Two mosques incorporating elements from different periods are counted as exceptions, and the remaining two are considered to have been built during transitional periods.

Transformation Analysis of Traditional Mosques: The Case of Quzzat Quarter of Herat Old City, Afghanistan

Ghulam Mohammad Asim, Hajime Shimizu

Heritage ( MDPI ) 5 ( 3 ) 1819 - 1835 2022.05 [ Peer Review Accepted ]

Type of publication: Research paper (scientific journal)

　View Summary

This study examines the traditional mosques in the Quzzat quarter of Herat Old City, Afghanistan, after WWII. The study discovered urban developments, typology of mosques, as well as destructions, changes, and transformations of the traditional mosques. It involved compiling data, conducting a field survey, examining historical maps, reviewing published works to explain constructions, and finding out how transformations took place. Twenty-nine mosques are constructed in the study area. Twenty-five of them were originally constructed before WWII with traditional local material, and four were constructed after WWII; of these four, three are modern (concrete) and one is made of traditional material. Twelve out of the twenty-five traditional mosques still exist in traditional form, while twelve have been transformed, and one has been damaged. Modern mosques are found to the northwest of the quarter, where the city wall was razed, flattened, and transformed into residential area. Transformations started after WWII and have occurred mainly in the southern parts of the quarter. The majority of the mosques in the northern areas are preserved, while in the southern regions they are transformed, and modern constructions were carried out in the newly urbanized areas.
