The Guardians of Silk Road Architecture
The Guardians of Silk Road Architecture
Silk Road architecture is a craft still carried forward today, not only a history preserved in monuments. Ganch carving, naqqoshi, muqarnas dome decoration, and facade ceramics were each refined over centuries within workshops where mastery could be acquired only under the guidance of a master.
Kodiri was established to carry this tradition forward - not merely as history preserved in books and on historic facades, but as a living discipline, practiced and transmitted by those who carry it today.

The Principles We Preserve
Continuity. Knowledge at Kodiri passes directly from master to apprentice, as it has for generations. Each craftsman is trained not through instruction alone, but through years working alongside those who came before him.
Authenticity. We preserve the hand techniques that define this tradition - ganch carving, naqqoshi, and muqarnas - adapting them to contemporary projects without compromising the craft's integrity.
Responsibility to heritage. We undertake restoration and architectural design for cultural, government, and private clients, treating the training of the next generation of masters as central to that work.
