There are numerous studies dealing with Iranian history and culture, but only a few of them have discussed the architectural forms found in cities and towns. Consequently, there is a need for more analytical studies that can explain the processes by which these architectural forms and cities have developed throughout Iranian history. The main objective of this study is to use a multimedia format to study different types of information. A second objective is to show the role of water in the formation of one Iranian city, Naeen. I have used my own field experience in Iran as well as the works of others to explain the path of water as it influenced the formation of one of the oldest extant cities of Iran's dry arid region, Naeen. Multimedia presentations on this compact disc use slides, video sequences and 3D models combined with text, all of which have been programmed into an interactive environment.
