Kermaan City is the capital of Kermaan, a southern province of Iran, with an estimated date of settlement from the date of prophet Solomon (Introduction). Many features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present in this province, such as clay castles, Jam'a Mosque, wind-catching towers, baazaars, dome and arch by mud-bricks, clay, ice reservoirs, koochehes (narrow alleyways), and qanat irrigation system. Because of a modernization process in Iran from about 1950s, however, the clay architecture in Iran, as well as in Kermaan, has been abandoned and historic buildings and structures have been demolished to be replaced by apartment complexes and by modern buildings made up of metal skeleton and concrete blocks. The present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before they are completely wiped out in a modernization process. The revised edition of the Volume I of this series (copyright 2018), invites viewers to A Visual Journey To Kermaan City for a review of the samples of the clay ( indigenous) architecture in this historic city.
