The Village Where The Roofs Are Also Streets | Show Me Where You Live Compilation
Philippe is interested in how architecture can provide a glimpse into how people live all around the world. He travels to some of the most unique spots and culture on the planet to see what they have to offer. Today he is in Northern Iran in Masuleh, an area of lush landscape, unlike the desert climate most of the country offers. In this small village, the roofs are all interconnected to form pedestrian areas. Nest, Philippe heads to southern Louisiana to see the Bayou Country and how homeowners there have adapted to hurricane season.

I've been to Masuleh in 2018. It's beautiful and although is considered a very touristy place nowadays, and is flooded with internal tourists every weekend, during the week life is slow and sweet. People is very welcoming, and kind, and nice. We arrived and didn't have a place to sleep but through a fortunate coincidence we got in touch with a lady who had a little house to let in the high end of the village. The guy who led us to her also invited us to have a homemade dinner at his mum's house and it was great hospitality. He also accompanied us to see the amazing waterfall hidden in the surrounding woods. We had a very interesting conversation with a young guy who run a herbs shop and while we were there his uncle came down from the mountains bringing a load of fresh herbs to dry and sell. I even met a man who was taking care of some stray cats and he understood I was Italian so he started talking to me in Italian! He had lived in Italy for some time years prior and I could get that it was a bit of a bitter story so I didn't inquire much, but to meet someone who spoke my language in such a tiny place lost in the Iranian mountains was a very strange experience. I loved that village (btw it's so nostalgic to see in the doc all the same places I've been to...it's like I'm still there ❤), as I loved my whole visit through Iran, which is an amazing country that keeps on giving in terms of culture and landscapes...neverending wonders. Go visit Iran, you'll find beauty in every corner and beautiful people too. As an Italian I can say I felt at home. They are profoundly aware of their political and social problems, but the majority of them are ashamed of it all and have enough freedom of mind to have learnt how to live in the cracks of the system to try and endure it having the best possible life. They deserve all the best and I hope they'll get there.

I hope they can continue to preserve this architecture and the village can attract more residents. It’s an amazing space.
I love the idea of an entire town/village for pedestrians specifically 😊
What a beautiful, peaceful place, God bless Iran and Iranians.
3:38 I never realized that my lack of walking on roofs was the reason why I couldn't discuss with people about various things like the culture, economy, local business, etc

Yea the design plan of modern cities does not allow for people to discuss business or personal matters.
This is what a community should be! ❤❤❤
Shujaa in Swahili means "hero". I admire the communal living of Masuleh, watching from Kenya🇰🇪

Running water and sanitary system should be a challenge being on a mountain slope; I wonder how they solved it.
What an incredibly interesting town and lifestyle. In the UK in my twenties I worked with an Iranian man Bruce. He was a really nice guy and I always wanted to visit Iran, but never made it despite travelling widely. Age and health problems stop me now. I wish all the worlds warmongering politicians would go away as I think Iran has a lot to offer the rest of the world.
What a delightful documentary. I was especially moved by the love the people in Masuleh have for their village, and the hospitality they seemed to have.
Looks so heavenly. This example could inspire property developers for sustainable living with their natural environment
I love how this architecture engenders fellowship.

Most beautiful point of view!
What a cool place to live I wish everybody could live like that.
Masuleh is on my bucketlist now. Never imagined I'd want to go to Iran. The town is so quaint, old fashioned and the weather is mesmerizing. From the mountain/hill top in Old Masuleh its like walking above clouds. What I found very interesting is that a lot of the words of the Masuleh dialect are common between the Urdu language of India. "Deewar", 'Chashma' 'Mohalla' 'Baazaar' etc. I always thought Urdu was a mix of Arabic n Hindi but now I realize there are a lot of Persian words as well! I love your videos n the bg music is amazing! You have very good taste in music!
Very interesting as was the second documentary half way thru. It ought to be listed in the title. It deserves that honor as well. Thank you for sharing this.
My great grandad was a Khan from Masuleh :)
Amazing and beautiful place just like Iranians ❤❤❤

Catal huyuk in Turkey had all the streets on roofs and doors too were fitted on roofs than in walls with ladders for exit and entrance. And this the town architecture,8000 years ago.
Very nice, thank you for showing us this.
A very lovely amazing peaceful place .

I would love to live in a pedestrian only city. I’m tired of cars and especially bikes taking over everything.
VERY NICE
One of the residence here in the United States I resided at as a child had a flat back roof we walked and sat on. One cloud use steps from back of the house or enter on to the same roof with upstairs door.
Very nice Architecture. Mashallah.❤💚❤️
This is what solar punk architecture should like, blending with the natural land scape ... An architecture that enhances Strong sense of community and walkable roads to have minimum waste
Interesting ❤
When it comes to cultural diffusion in the Middle East and even Central Asia, Iran has always been the source culture. As a Turkish person, I can say that we adopted the ways of Persians as our ancestors migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia when we met Persians around 10th century. Today it is almost impossible to make a long and meaningful sentence in Turkish without using a few Persian words. Our art, literature and culture, especially culinary culture, is greatly influenced by theirs. Masuleh architectural style which is not only very beautiful but also practical and stable against earthquakes is a product of the Persian intellect.
While this may be the Only Existing villae of this type, both the ancient city of Çatalhüyük in present day Turkey and the palace of Knossos in Crete are Earlier examples if this type of village ( palace) pathway.
Wow!!!!
The world is not overpopulated or in danger of 'climate change'. It's a beautiful place .
That cool
How many languages do you speak , incredibly ! Enjoy your series.
Iran is such a pretty country. Its unfortunate that they can not open it up again to the whole world.
24:42 Absolutely adorable- Drama at the rooftop football/soccer game More than likely it'll all be forgotten in 10min or so Tomorrow at the latest
I grew up in a village in Pakistan where this was the culture of those who lived on the steeper part of the village. Their homes were single-storeyed and to protect the homeowner's privacy, we knew not to go as far as the roof edge, since women frequently used their courtyards. I have seen the same in most northern areas of my country where people live in the mountains, so I think it's common to this landscape.
I would like to have one of those scarves
I always used to hang out on rooftops as a kid usually to get chased off by the police!😂, I've met many Iranian people n they were all lovely!😊✌️
Dans ce village, un bon oeui du rocher, surveille, pour pour une bonne entente entre les gens.
I’m new subscriber
I have never visited iran, but i have few friends colleagues from iran. My personal experience has been great being around my iranian friends.. before you know you will a family, they will invite you as their own. Very similar to Indian culture. Now I also know another persian coworker who is probably a nice person to others , but with everyone i know finds her to be very… umm😅lets say not so pleasant to be around. So as some comments mentioned above, few bad apples everywhere in this world. We shouldn’t hate On a country and its people just based on few of those people.
I love the very unusual accent of the Bayou people....
Same like place in oghi. Kpk PK existing. I am from there it reminded my one
interesting
I'll get my bags packed..
