Title

The Architecture of Dā r al-Funū n School and Its Changes in Qajar Era

Pages

  99-128

Abstract

 Dā; r al-Funū; n School was established in the first half of 1850s, under Nā sir al-Dī n Shā h’ s rule and by the patronage of his chancellor Mirzā Taqī-khā n Amī r Kabī r. Amī r Kabī r was also the patron of the school building, which its construction began in 1850. Its designer was Mī rzā Rizā Muhandis-Bā shī , who had studied engineering in Royal Military Academy at London. The school’ s master builder was Muhammad-Taqi Khā n Miʻ mā r-Bā shī . Amī r Kabī r himself and Bahrā m Mī rzā Mu‘ izz-al-Dawla supervised the construction of the building. A part of building opened in 1852, just a few days after Amir’ s deposal, although it was not totally finished until 1853. However, the building that we know today as Dā; r al-Funū; n was constructed in Pahlavi era. There is almost no important material evidence from the Qajar building, but there are some imagery and written evidences. The Dā; r al-Funū; n building is remained unknown because of some inaccuracy in recognition of photos and their positions, and some changes in the building during the very Qajar era. Our objective is to recognize the school’ s architecture and the quality of its probable changes in Qajar period, which is dealt with validation of the documents, recognition of the building physical properties, resolving the ambiguities, lighting up the building changes and evolutions, and determining their dates. According to formal chronicles, the school was opened on 5th Rabi’ I, 1268 AH (Dec. 29, 1851), when Amī r Kabī r was exiled (about two weeks before his murder on Jan. 10, 1852). There are some information in the textual sources including Amir’ s letters and the government’ s formal newspaper; however, there are no evidence of the school in the two major formal documents that was published about one year after the opening of the school. These are the oldest visual document of the school is August Karl Krziž ’ s Map of Tehran (Dec. 1858), and the Statistics Account of Tehran. The second map of Tehran in that period is ‘ Abd al-Ghaffā r’ s Map (Aug. 1891). There are also several photos and gravures of the school in Gulistā n Archive (Golestan Palace Museum), as well as other archives that reveal some aspects of the school’ s architecture. We will show that the Qajar Dā; r al-Funū; n had two parts: the old building and the new one. The old building is the one built in Amī r Kabī r’ s period. It was designed by Mī rzā Rizā Muhandis, and was constructed by Muhammad Taqī-khā n Miʽ mā r-bā shī in 1850 and opened in 1852. In 1870s, some of the court members decided to make some changes in the building, which were concentrated on the courtyard facades and the entrance. The designer of the changes was Mī rzā ʽ Abbā s Muhandis (Mī rzā Rizā ’ s son) and the constructer was Muhammad Ibrā him-khā n Miʽ mā r-bā shī (Muhammad Taqī-khā n’ s son). Between 1858 and 1892, the school was developed by adding a new building at the north side of the old one and at the west side of the telegraph office. The new building was called as “ the School of Musics” and “ the New School of Dā; r al-Funū; n” . In the early Pahlavi era, both buildings were destroyed and replaced by a modern building designed by the Georgian architect Nikolai Lvovich Markov (1882-1957). This is the building, which is known now as Dā; r al-Funū; n High School today.
