A talented international team of architectural, planning professionals and engineers in [[Canada]], [[Iran]] and [[China]], working to recycle parts of the ancient Silk Road starting in Iran, into a modern and sustainable Road to Peace between the west and east, through faithful historical preservation and sustainable redevelopment of caravanserai for local people, communities and economies, and also international visitors, ecotourists, scholars and students, as possible future UNESCO World Heritage Sites.The project is led by Mr. Jorg Ostrowski [M. Arch. A.S. (MIT), B. Arch. (Toronto) & President of ASH-Autonomous & Sustainable Housing Inc. and ACE-Alternative & Conservation Energies Inc.]. The group plans to start with rural areas and eventually move into the cities. The vision is to build a chain of satellite institutes with partner universities, governments, NGOs and industries, for the study and research, seminars and workshops, application and promotion of: appropriate technology, energy and resource conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
