The remote and mountainous landscape of Hawraman/Uramanat bears testimony to the traditional culture of the Hawrami people, an agropastoral Kurdish tribe that has inhabited the region since about 3000 BCE. The property, at the heart of the Zagros Mountains in the provinces of Kurdistan and Kermanshah along the western border of Iran, encompasses two components: the Central-Eastern Valley (Zhaverud and Takht, in Kurdistan Province); and the Western Valley (Lahun, in Kermanshah Province). The mode of human habitation in these two valleys has been adapted over millennia to the rough mountainous environment. Tiered steep-slope planning and architecture, gardening on dry-stone terraces, livestock breeding, and seasonal vertical migration are among the distinctive features of the local culture and life of the semi-nomadic Hawrami people who dwell in lowlands and highlands during different seasons of each year. Their uninterrupted presence in the landscape, which is also characterized by exceptional biodiversity and endemism, is evidenced by stone tools, caves and rock shelters, mounds, remnants of permanent and temporary settlement sites, and workshops, cemeteries, roads, villages, castles, and more. The 12 villages included in the property illustrate the Hawrami people’s evolving responses to the scarcity of productive land in their mountainous environment through the millennia.

In Iran, Yazd is well-known for its old and historical premises which have been inscribed as world heritage on UNESCO. This photo collection contains a number of structures called "Sabat" in this ancient city. Sabat is a roofed passage that has been built for thousands of years in Iran desert cities such as Yazd. Sabat functions as a barrier against severe and tough climate of the desert. In summer, they cast shadow and provide cool spots for pedestrians and residents. Also in winter they function usefully as shields for rain and snow. Some Sabats are very long, therefore, some skylights are devised in the ceiling to ensure light passages . The combination of light and shade, as the result of skylights, can create a spectacular view.
