• Emergency restorations: Consolidating vulnerable elements and eliminating additive conditions were the most important stages of them.

• Perfect restoration: Aim of the stage was to restore the building in to a primary concept on overall study. Physical conditions of conservation is more important than historic building rehabilitation in this stage.

• Supplementary restoration: The stage was depended to rehabilitation section essentially. Landscape design and new servicing structures are some of the Intervenes.

Restoration and Rehabilitation of

the Rajabi Historic House in Semnan

• Abstract

• Rajabi house, located in southern area of historic fabric of Semnan city, is an indicator structure from middle of Qajar period. Current building is a remained part of a vast construction that had been composed of various spaces such as 5 court yards, numerous homes, bathroom, kitchen and Baad-gir (wind catcher). Piece of the Rajabi building was destroyed during expansion projects of the city between two decades (1930~1950 H.D).

• Restoration

• The first stage of restoration project was checking physical condition of the historic building. Natural decays (such as climates effects and biologics effects) and human‟s decays (for example vandalism and management problems) are some of deleterious effects. All of intervenes plans were centralized on a master plan that proposed consultant visions by some stages.

• Firstly it was focused on the vulnerable elements, afterward we tried to restore the historic building to primary concept, without persisting on the next building usage. Improvement attempts were based on the rehabilitation plans. Designing in the historic context was the most important goal of the project in this section. In the new proposal historic environments conservation rules was taken into account.

• Rehabilitation

• The museum of Semnan city history was selected in the strategic committee of Rajabi house as future usage. Because of different historic periods, we designed numerous decoration patterns on the few vitrines so that viewer recognize the historic periods of every hall. Clays, glass, papers, historic pictures and handicrafts are some of the cultural properties that will be shown in the museum.

• Abbasi Caravanserai is one of the monuments in Damghan historic city.Surveying the monument determines that the Caravanserai wasconstructed in the Safavid period as a suburban structure but afterwardspecially after Qajar period it has been located in the city center, (nearbyBazaar and settlement fabric).

• Restoration

• Structural elements deteriorations, because of climate condition and humans faults were some of the reasons for building decays. Especially in recent decades, when the building was used as military place that it doesn‟t have any integrity by the old context. The first attempt was a management decision so that historic building was assigned by cultural heritage office, and consultant could inspect the structure to diagnose the decays completely. In addition, consultant was proposed 3th stages plan including:

• Emergency restorations: Consolidating vulnerable elements and eliminating additive conditions.

• Perfect restoration: Restoring the building to primary concept on overall study basically.

• Supplementary restoration: Improving the historic building by some servicing equipment in connection to rehabilitation chapters.

• Rehabilitation

• Caravanserais in Iran and eastern countries had been built as service buildings generally. In other word they were considerable because of their anthropology nature. The location of Abbasi Caravanserai, in vicinity of the Silk Road, have being an idea to change the building to travel museum. These are some issues in rehabilitation plan:

• Showing some historic documentation such as pictures, drawing and objects.

• The samples of travelers, animals and passenger equipments.

• Some new transportation instrument such as airplane, ship and train.

Restoration and Rehabilitation of

the Semnan’s Pehne Timche

the Pehne Bathroom in Semnan

• Abstract

• Pehne building is one of the historic bathrooms in Semnan old city. The monument located nearby the Pehne Timche and the Jame mosque in the historic bazaar of Semnan. The construction organizes two separate spaces for men and women. Bineh (cloath room space) Garm-Khane(washing space) and Khazineh (hot water store) are some of the important spaces in Pehne bathroom.

• The Pehne Bathroom background dates back to 14th century and was rebuilt in 19th century, afterward it was abandoned for years. The tile works, especially at the entrance, are some of the ornamental elements in the building.

• Restoration

• Historic bathrooms are moist structures that were built by limestone that was used as mortar originally. This exclusively led to some damages in new usage. In attention to current usage of building as ancient museum, some decays have been happened unfortunately. In addition, the ancient objects was decayed gradually, the historic building is in risk because of dryness effect also. Finally, restoration designs were planned to regenerating the historic building to primary form and eliminating the modern structures.

• Rehabilitation

• In spite of consultant proposal to reuse the historic building as a traditional bathroom, administrator committee decided to change it to museum. Finally Bathing Museum was selected in modern rehabilitation. Regenerating historic concept of bathroom was the most important ideas in the new application as museum. For example in the new proposed spaces, electronic monitors are installed that will be showing scenes of historic movie about bathing. Also some automatic devices are installed which will be emitting scent through the entrances. The sound of people who are taking bath is also predicted.

Adding a new structure in vicinity of

the Shahmirzad’s Housh-mand house

• The historic house of Housh-mand is proposed for

the Handicraft museum in new rehabilitation design.

Also, some spaces such as official section, book

shopping and restroom were requaired. Therefore,

consultant was proposed to build new separate

structures in the north and the south sides of

Housh-mand house.

• In new constructions will paid attention to rules of

designing in historic context. For example:

• Attitude limitation of new building in comparison to

the old structure.

• Integrity with historic context.

• Regarding to new requests in adding spaces.

The connecting bridge between two sides of

the Coin Museum of Semnan city

• The structure as an idea was proposed for

solving the problem of circulation in Timche-

Pehnee. The coin museum, located in

Timche-Pehne which is a small space of

Semnan historic bazaar.

• The connecting bridge is comprised of iron,

wood and glass basically. It is a

prefabricated structure that was made in

equipped workshop previously and was assembled in the Coin Museum then.

• The passengers‟ Camping Space is located on the

northeastern corner of Garden-Boulevard.

Nowadays, there is an abandon land that covers by

grasses and some old trees which are

unorganized. Cultural heritage recommendations

prevent designers from tall, huge and disharmonic

structures. So, the proposed concepts of consultant

is a flat and simplified restaurant, shopping store

and restroom .

• Other requirements such as playing land, green

land and parking are designed by attention to

status quo of land. Old trees were conserved

generally and creeks were dredged up completely.

Native patterns of Ramsaar region has been used

in new structure of the camping.
