THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CITIES OF IRAN: A STUDY IN ACHAEMENID PERSIAN ARCHITECTURE

Mahmoud Ahmed Darwish — 2025-09-16

Persian architecture began late, in the early 6th century BC, and its duration was short-lived. It ended in the late 4th century BC, with Alexander's conquest of Persia (324 BC) and the collapse of the Achaemenid Empire. This art form lasted for approximately 200 years, reaching its peak within a period of approximately 100 years.

The region in which this architecture emerged is the long strip extending from northwest to southeast in the valleys of the Zagros Mountains. This region borders the Iranian plateau to the west and overlooks the Mesopotamian plain from the north to the south of the Persian Gulf. The remaining monuments of Achaemenid architecture are few in number but clearly visible, and from them we can study its style and construction methods.

Nadir Hammadi — 2025-09-16

The objective of this project is to improve the state of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting by the application of machine learning and natural language processing, two forms of artificial intelligence (AI). Improvements to the summary and clarity of ESG reports, the use of RegTech solutions to expedite regulatory compliance, the use of SupTech solutions to facilitate the more effective and efficient delivery of regulatory requirements, and the promotion of transparency in business operations to support sustainable development are the biggest objectives.

To achieve these objectives, a methodology was followed to collect data from the relevant financial institutions (ADIB published on its website), that helps to include as many types of data as possible so that the study is comprehensive and does not exclude any type of data, followed by accurate pre-processing of this data, (with the help of artificial intelligence tools) to ensure the quality of the resulting summary content starting from the report index in the first attributes to the rest of the text.

Mahmoud Ahmed Darwish — 2025-09-16

The availability of both local and imported wood in Egypt's coastal cities, including Rosetta, Alexandria, and Damietta, led to the flourishing of the carpentry craft and the development of woodwork to its greatest degree. Being a simple material, wood was a fundamental material of great importance in architecture and the arts, whether in buildings or furniture. It was used in architectural elements such as doors, windows, ceilings, floors, columns, stairs, cupboards, and arcades, in addition to movable elements such as pulpits, seats, Quran stands, reciters' chairs, and others.
