Abstract

This paper is going to evaluate general qualities of UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN Campus to recognize its weak and strong points. This will be helpful to specify suitable developing strategies for this campus and also to define appropriate patterns for new UNIVERSITY CAMPUSes in Iran. In the first part, a primary introduction of UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN and its history has been mentioned. This university is the oldest university in Iran. It has designed by Andre’ Godar, French architect in 1924. The University design is inspired by pattern of traditional Iranian Garden. The complex is designed and performed in nearly three periods and has had wide socio-cultural effects on its context. In theoretical discussion, history and principles of UNIVERSITY CAMPUSes introduced. The history of nowadays campus goes back to the era after the Second World War specially in America. At this time, the deficiencies of the society after the war along by growing modern movement, affect the new tendencies. One of the approaches was to build separate and detached buildings in a campus. In the next years, other characteristics like extensibility and organic growth was considered. In order to choose evaluation criteria, it is considered theories about UNIVERSITY CAMPUSes that indicate similar characteristics of campuses, public spaces and cities. These similarities lead to the idea of “university similar to a city” that is the base theory for the evaluation. This idea arises from resemblance of functional and formal characteristics that has been changed during the time. This idea is also affected by developing democratic tendencies and social intercourses that lead to the theories of “open university”, university that is accessible to all people and is programmed to offer public services. Thus the criteria of good city form, by considering special characteristics of university spaces can be used for evaluating university qualities. According to this, Lynch’s criteria in his book “A Theory of Good City Form” which are vitality, meaning, access, fit, control are used. The performance criteria of each one are assorted in 3 scales in this paper. The first one is in external large scale, in the scale of interaction of site with the context. The second one is the middle scale, in the scale of interaction of site as a public domain. The third one is the internal scale, in the scale of main characteristics of a university as a place for education and research. The weak points of the site can be introduced in 2 groups. The first one is the problems which are caused by the further interferences or erosion during the time. This group of deficiencies can be modified by simple primary proceedings. The second group is problems which are caused during the time because of restrictions of locating in the urban context. This group can be proportionally modified after accomplishment of suitable developing program. The conclusion of evaluation discussion is the predominance of strong points to weak points in spite of their manifoldness. This shows the high architectural values of UNIVERSITY OF TEHRAN as a main (mother) university in Iran.
