Architectural Impressions of Iran

UBC Persian Club is proud to Host Daniel Roehr, Author of the book “Sketching Iran” on November 9th at the Irving K Barber Learning Center.

Daniel Roehr is a registered landscape architect, a horticulturalist and an educator in both Berlin and Vancouver. Currently, under the umbrella of the Design Centre of Sustainability at UBC, Mr. Roehr’s research focuses on monitoring the holistic environmental performance of green roofs, gr…een facades and green streets in cities. His ability and passion for landscape, teaching, different cultures and horticulture has made him a world renowned researcher, with published refereed papers, many articles and two published books “Sketching Iran” and “Sketching Italy”. “Sketching Iran” is the result of a three week trip to Iran with a group of UBC students in 2007 to sketch the world celebrated monuments and buildings that the Persian world has to offer. Mr. Roehr’s fascination towards Persian architecture began by considering major factors such as the usage of light, water, ceilings, roofscapes and qanats, wind towers, urbanscape, cavecity and summer housing. While in Iran, he also studied Adobe, Islamic, Christian, and Ancient Architectures.

Join us for his presentation on this three week trip and insights on aspects of Iranian Architecture followed by the performance of UBC Persian Music Ensemble.
