An Iraqi man walks past an old stone house in Baghdad on June 4, 2012, as Iraqi architects and historians have decried official neglect of historical buildings nationwide, many of which have fallen into disrepair and disuse, and called for greater attention to be paid to them.

Some lovely old houses in Najaf

They should renovate them before they all collapse...

These structures have thick walls and are close together - presumably because it keeps the streets in the shade.

In Iran they have these wind towers, which are hollow towers with windows at the top. They are used for cooling. They put these in homes and also on top of these water storage tanks to keep drinking water cool. Ingenious people, those Ajam.

حكومة البصرة تعيد تأهيل بيت السياب

Quote:

بعد رحلة طويلة من المحاولات التي لم يكتب لها النجاح، قرر إعادة بناء البيت الذي وُلد ونشأ فيه الشاعر العراقي بدر شاكر السيّاب، بغرض تحويله إلى متحف ومنتدى يحملان اسمه، راصدة لإنجاز هذا المشروع مبلغ 500 مليون دينار عراقي.
وكانت محاولات إنقاذ هذا الصرح التاريخي -الذي يعود تاريخ إنشائه للعام 1800م- تصطدم دائمًا بالحروب المستمرة التي شهدها العراق في تاريخه الحديث، ولم تتح الفرصة أمام المهتمين بشأن الثقافة لإنجاز المشروع، حيث تعود فكرة تطوير البيت إلى بداية الثمانينيات، عندما قامت بترميمه هيئة الآثار والتراث العراقية، إلاّ أنه هدم وفقدت أبوابه وشبابيكه من جراء توغل الجيش في المنطقة خلال الحرب العراقية الإيرانية، وفي العام 2002 شرعت وزارة الثقافة بإعادة تأهيل البيت؛ لكن المشروع توقف في العام 2003، قبل أن ينجز، بسبب نشوب الحرب الأخيرة، ثم تعرض إلى النهب والتخريب. فصار ينطبق عليه قول السيّاب نفسه في إحدى قصائده: (خرائب فانزع الأبواب عنها تغدو أطلالاً).

I really hope it´s true...
