Description: This work is one of a kind, an effort by the author to preserve the evidence for Bam Citadel located in southeastern Iran. It was located along the ancient Silk Route leading to India, dating from the Sassanid period (224-637 CE). Known as Arg-e Bam, it was constructed of stone and sun-baked bricks. It was inhabited until 1932. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the largest adobe building site in the world. Restoration began in 1952 which continued until a major 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck in 2003. In the destruction of this mud city, 40,000 people lost their lives. This book is the result of Hamid N. Zadeh, a paper architect, who prepared this as a memorial to the city. It is dedicated to those who perished. The contents are 3D historical pop ups (see pictures). This work is a custom hardcover in a spiral binding. It includes photographs, map, and twelve pop ups with accompanying photos. It is a limited edition of 1,200 copies. It is clean and solid. The dust jacket is in mylar.
