SUMMARY:Synagogues of Iran
DESCRIPTION:ASF Sephardi Scholars Series Presents – “Synagogues of Iran: Design and Development in Urban Context” \nProfessor Mohammad Gharipour will discuss his research and recently published book\, Synagogues of the Islamic World: Architecture\, Design\, and Identity (Edinburgh University Press\, 2017)\, which explores how the architecture of synagogues in Central Asia\, the Middle East\, North Africa\, and Spain responded to contextual issues and traditions\, as well as how these contexts influenced the design and evolution of synagogues. The book considers patterns of the development of synagogues in urban contexts in connection with urban elements and monuments\, while revealing how synagogues reflect the culture of the Jewish minority at macro and micro scales. \nThis presentation is being made possible by the generous support of The Cahnman Foundation. \n  \nBio \nMohammad Gharipour is Associate Professor at the School of Architecture and Planning at Morgan State University at Baltimore\, Maryland.
