Dehkadeh Choobin (Wooden Village) in Neyshabour, northeast Iran, is a collection of buildings made mostly out of wood. The village also has agricultural fields. This past summer I visited the place and enjoyed my time here; it had a calm atmosphere. The photos are mostly from the wooden mosque, which is said to be the only mosque designed to survive earthquakes.

Wooden Village
by Ahmed from Bahrain on Fri Oct 10, 2008 05:58 PM PDTI love these gutsy buildings. Makes me want to pray in such a building. Thank you for sharing such beautiful and simple architecture with us.
I would love to saddle up my kooleh pusht one day and roam the land of my ancestors.Perhaps one day before the years takes way my zest for life!! ha ha.
I visited Iran in 1969 and then some eight and four years ago, only briefly. What a change of people. In 1969 they were so accommodating and kind but in my last two visits they were aggressive and everyman for his own.
Still one-on-one Iranians are naturally good people. Still, I see the same goodness in every human being.
Perhaps one day we will see a free Iran whwere everyone loves and respects everyone else not because of their religion but because they are a human being.

Nice, but.....
by desertlion (not verified) on Fri Oct 10, 2008 02:11 PM PDTThe design seems to be nice but isn't it made the same way as most western homes? especially in the south of US where there is no basement and all the structure is build on a slab.
