Abstract: (2857 Views)
Hekâyate Hammâme Djenniân is a story written in two versions during the constitutional era. This unique document is one of the few writings in which modern architecture and Iranian architectural traditions are discussed and argued, the main concern of this writing is architecture. The story is about a father and his son who went to a traditional public bath, and face challenges, then they have a critical discussion about Iranian culture, architecture, traditions, and beliefs. Introducing, analyzing, correcting, and rewriting parts of this story have shown that the criticisms in this story about public baths in Iran can be divided into four general groups; spatial organization, sanitization and hygiene in Iranian traditional public baths, stairs in Iranian architecture, and the absence of a governmental institution which regulates the constructions. The solution proposed by the characters of the story in the face of these problems is designing baths in a new way, and their major solution is to increase the public awareness towards architectural and urban issues. This article show that at least some of the differences in the acceptance or rejection of the new architecture which has been extended to the early modern period, especially in the field of constructing and organizing public baths, can be the result of a kind of difference in reading religious issues of two groups involved in the constitutional era, which are generalized to architecture, and that the arguments of both sides for or against changing the patterns of pre-modern baths, were religious in many cases.
