Abstract

This study examines the evolving role of Iranian university technoparks in promoting sustainable development through green technologies and innovations. The research identifies a gap in the global understanding of how academic institutions in the Middle East contribute to climate and environmental challenges. Using qualitative content analysis of national initiatives, university programs, and technology transfer mechanisms, the study highlights key methods by which technoparks foster environmentally friendly solutions. Examples include solar energy innovations at the University of Tehran, hydrogen fuel cell development at IUST, and plastic waste recycling at AUT. Technoparks not only serve as incubators for startups and cleantech solutions but also act as platforms for knowledge-based companies to collaborate with industry and government. Findings reveal that technoparks provide critical infrastructure for R&D, facilitate commercialization of academic research, and promote sustainable entrepreneurship through training, incentives, and public-private partnerships. These institutions also support national climate goals, including emission reductions and water conservation strategies. The results show that despite ecological startups constituting a small percentage of Iran’s knowledge-based firms as of 2018, recent policy shifts (2022–2025) are catalyzing growth in the green tech sector. The implications suggest that university technoparks are central to transforming Iran’s innovation ecosystem toward sustainability and represent scalable models for similar contexts globally. Further research is encouraged to quantitatively assess the long-term impact of such technoparks on regional development and climate resilience.

Abstract

This study examines the architectural and cultural significance of the 18th-century Qori-khona in Kagan, currently functioning as the Naqshbandiya Museum, within the framework of Islamic educational architecture and Sufi traditions in Central Asia. The research addresses a critical gap in existing scholarship, which has predominantly focused on monumental madrasas and earlier historical periods while overlooking smaller-scale religious-educational structures and their contextual integration within the Naqshbandiya spiritual tradition. The investigation employed a qualitative methodology combining architectural analysis, field documentation, spatial surveys, and critical examination of historical and visual sources to evaluate the building's design principles, spatial organization, and adaptive reuse as a museum facility. Findings reveal that the Qori-khona exemplifies the Bukhara architectural school through its modest peshtaq, inward-oriented courtyard layout, minimalist ornamentation, and compact hujra configuration, all reflecting Naqshbandiya values of spiritual discipline, modesty, and contemplative concentration. The architectural composition demonstrates deliberate restraint in decoration and proportional harmony aligned with Sufi educational practices rather than syncretic or symbolic interpretations previously suggested in literature. The novelty of this research lies in establishing the Qori-khona as a coherent Islamic educational space rooted specifically in 18th-century Sufi architectural conventions, challenging generalized or chronologically imprecise characterizations. These findings contribute theoretical understanding of later-period Sufi architecture in Central Asia and provide practical implications for heritage conservation, demonstrating how adaptive reuse can maintain architectural integrity while extending the educational mission of religious monuments through contemporary museological frameworks.Keywords: Qori-khona architecture; Naqshbandiya Sufism; Bukhara architectural school; Islamic educational buildings; Central Asian heritage preservation; 18th-century religious monumentsHighlight :  The Qori-khona demonstrates coherent 18th-century Islamic educational architecture aligned with Naqshbandiya Sufi principles. Architectural features reflect intentional design emphasizing modesty, discipline, and inward spiritual focus through spatial organization. Museum adaptation successfully maintains architectural integrity while continuing the building's original educational purpose effectively.

Abstract

Ecological thinking has increasingly emerged as a central paradigm in contemporary architectural theory, driven by escalating environmental degradation, climate change, and the growing recognition of complex interactions between the built environment and natural systems. Despite the expansion of green and sustainable architecture discourse, prior studies often remain fragmented, focusing separately on environmental performance, materials, or digital tools, without integrating ecological theory, architectural heritage, and technological innovation into a coherent framework. This study aims to systematically examine the evolution of ecological thinking in architectural theory and to clarify its role in shaping sustainable and adaptive design paradigms. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on systematic literature review, historical–theoretical analysis, and comparative evaluation of architectural paradigms, drawing on peer-reviewed journal articles, theoretical monographs, and recent studies on sustainability, biomimicry, and digital design technologies indexed in major academic databases. The findings reveal a clear paradigm shift from mechanistic and form-oriented architectural models toward holistic, system-based, and interactive ecological approaches, in which architecture is understood as an adaptive component of broader environmental, cultural, and technological systems. The results also demonstrate that digital tools such as Building Information Modeling, data-driven design, and artificial intelligence increasingly support ecological thinking by enabling life-cycle analysis, adaptive responses, and integrative decision-making. The novelty of this study lies in synthesizing ecological theory, traditional architectural knowledge, and contemporary digital technologies into an integrated theoretical perspective, rather than treating them as isolated domains. The implications suggest that ecological thinking should be positioned not merely as an environmental strategy but as a foundational architectural paradigm, informing theory development, guiding sustainable design practice, influencing policy on the built environment, and reshaping architectural education toward interdisciplinary and ecologically grounded curricula.Keywords : Ecological Architectural Theory, Sustainable Design Paradigms, Systems-Based Design, Biomimetic Architecture, Digital Design TechnologiesHighlight : Ecological thinking redefines architecture as integrative systems linking environmental, cultural, technological, and social dimensions. Architectural paradigms shift empirically from mechanistic models toward holistic, adaptive, and system-based ecological frameworks. Digital technologies actively support resource-aware, responsive design, strengthening ecological integration across architectural practice.
