Masuleh

Gilan · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

The distinction between roof and street becomes fluid in Masuleh. Houses fit the mountain in tight ochre tiers, so the top of one building can serve as a neighbour’s courtyard or a public path. This arrangement is worth studying as a practical response to steep terrain and a humid climate, rather than simply a photogenic pattern. Mist may soften the lanes, but the town’s everyday life continues within them. Pay attention to how buildings connect, and remember that the same spaces you explore also belong to residents’ routines and homes.
