The Amazing Windcatchers of Yazd
Date: Wednesday, 04 March
Time: 18:30
Location: Asia House, 63 New Cavendish Street, London W1G 7LP
We take so much for granted when we look only at the visible structures of buildings, but windcatchers demonstrate that their invisible attributes may often be more important. Their story in Yazd reaches out in many directions, showing how one apparently simple design feature links us to many aspects of the physical, historic and political past of the whole region.

Time: 18:00
Location: LSE

Persian Miniatures Course
Date: 20 April - 22 June
Location: SOAS
The course aims to familiarise participants with the conventional methods used to illustrate nature in a number of historical schools of Persian painting: the Īlkhānīd, Timūrīd and Safavīd ones. During each session, students’ works will be looked at by the instructor on an individual basis and necessary instructions will be given. While practising, students will be advised about some theoretical-aesthetic concepts in Persian-Islamic visual art.
