Abstract

The period of Pahlavi rule (1925-1978) in Iran was a different period in terms of culture and art. In this period, new changes were made in the physical structure, architecture and urban planning of Iran, which were dissimilar from the Qajar period. In the interim, internal factors in the field of political situation, historical, intellectual developments, social changes and external factors during the transition from Qajar to Pahlavi period are significant in the physical structure of cities and the urban planning of the Pahlavi period. The historical city of Bam is one of the cities that has undergone changes in terms of architecture during the mentioned era. The present study, with a descriptive-analytical method, aims to understand the most important effective factor in the historical-artistic developments of Bam during the Pahlavi period. For this analysis, two buildings in the city of Bam including the Ahvieh School and Soroush House in Zabulestani are examined. The findings of the research indicate that imitation of the western model, land reform and its consequences and the dominance of modernity were among the most imperative effective factors in the historical-physical transformations of Bam during the Pahlavi period, as a result of which the middle and new context were created around the older context of the city of Bam. This, in turn, led to the expansion of Bam towards farms and gardens; also it alleviated the migration of villagers to Bam city and the expansion of suburban settlements and the land market.
Research aims:

Explaining the historical and artistic developments of Bam during the Pahlavi period.
Investigating the reflection of the historical and artistic developments of Bam during the Pahlavi period in the architectural structures of the city.

Research questions:

What were the effective factors in the historical-artistic developments of Bam during the Pahlavi period?
What effect did modernity have on the architectural developments of Bam during the Pahlavi period?
