Lecture at Delft: Vernacular Futures
NAM Group’s design director spoke at an international seminar on Iranian climatic architecture.
At the invitation of TU Delft’s climate design research group, we took part in a seminar on the future of vernacular architecture.
The talk
The lecture focused on three of our projects, the Yazd windcatcher villa, the Rasht rain house and the Yazd qanat centre, showing how vernacular knowledge can be measured and applied with today’s tools.
Conversations
Questions centred on whether these strategies transfer to other climates, a question with no simple answer.
The visit laid the groundwork for a new research collaboration with the university.
