| Abstract |
This study investigates the roof type and seasonal use of the permanent dwelling architectures in the Iranian Hawrāmān area located in the
Eastern Kurdistan (Rōzhhalat). The Hawrāmān architecture has been usually defined as the stepped house (Bāft-e Pelekānī) lying along the
mountain slope up to now. The people, however, have seasonally used the stone wall houses by the different names (Yāna, Kawal, Kapr) for
their semi-nomadic life. The three architectures could be classified into two roof types such as the permanent roof houses (Yāna and Kawal)
and temporary roof shelter (Kapr) that show the different spatial and structural characteristics. The seasonal use of the two roofs differed in
the west and east part where the winter village (De) and summer dwelling place (Hawār) are located in different altitudes and dwelling
conditions. In the west (Takht and Lehōn), their life dependent on livestock. They stayed at one village (De) in the winter and sequentially
moved to some temporary camps (Hawār) at higher altitudes for securing the proper temperature and pasture in the summer. They used the
different roofs at seasonal places. In contrast, the people of the east (Zhāūrūd) were farm-oriented. They have seasonally stayed at one
village (De) and one farmland (Hawār) near a river or stream where water can be stably secured. They have used the permanent roof houses
on different scales in both places depending on the residential period. |
