the general idea of the project was to revitalize the historical building with an approach to contemporary productivity and preservation of historical-architectural patterns of the building without any manipulation in it. The master restoration plan describes the historic mansion attributed to Jamshidi and is implemented in three stages: Foundation settlement, initial procurement, and design and execution. To this end, the maximum effort was made to prepare building reinforcement plans and correct modeling using useful restoration solutions.
Jamshidi Mansion (former school of Shahid Mehdi Ghamari) was constructed in the early Pahlavi period by a famous architect from Shiraz, the late Abolghasem Mohandesi. This work was registered in 2001 with registration number 4676 with an area of 2367 square meters as one of the national works of Iran. In 1996, this property was put up for auction by the Ministry of Education. Besides, following its long-term goals and its mission of preserving and maintaining historical monuments, Fars Civil and Housing Company retrofitted and restored the building.
The entrance of Jamshidi Mansion is located in the northeast of the building. The height of the arch in the structure is 4.16 meters and its width is 2.33 meters. The exterior of the mansion includes 2 large porches, 2 balconies, 6 columns, body moldings, ornate skylights, wooden doors and windows, stone plinths, wooden faucets, brickwork, cut metal sheets, guardrails, stone entrance stairs, centaurs, and the structural proportions with emphasis on grandeur and the materials used in the construction of the brick body with a brick facade. In general, it can be said that the northern façade is the most prominent façade and European-styled or cast iron-style bedding is used in the most exterior decorations. The ground floor plan and the first floor are each divided into 6 separate spaces with a total of 12 rooms. In the central part of the roof of the mansion, there are two windbreaks with openings located in two throne rooms. The height of these two ventilating structures is about 11 meters from the ground.
To perform pathological studies of buildings, it is necessary to classify them. However, it should be noted that the damage itself is caused by one or more destructive factors and it is not possible to comment on the exact cause or causes by mere observation. Therefore, the main damaging factor was considered in the restoration design. Photography was performed simultaneously with pathology. Photogrammetry and flat photo outputs were performed on the sides of the building. Then, the damages and destructions were first plotted on the photos and analyzed in a sketch on the maps. Finally, the restoration plan was prepared and implemented to eliminate the main cause or source of the damages and destructions and the retrofitting of the building. We would like to appreciate craftsmen and restoration artists, Ms. Atefeh Hosseinpour, Mr. Bijan Hosseini, and Mr. Abdul Ali Ghodrat, who helped us to preserve this work.
