Designing Principles in Historical Buildings of Iran

Abstract

Uneven and unbalanced development is one of the problems of Iranian  cities. Ignoring  the past including the historic environment, buildings and structures in terms of various issues, in addition to the heterogeneity and creating chaos in the urban landscape and the gradual loss of identity of the cities and cultural mismatch can  create other problems. Urban designing and modern urbanism in historical cities should coordinate with urbanism regulations governing these buildings and designing before considering regulations of urbanism designing is completely unacceptable in these context buildings. This study tries to consider the charters, declarations and  universal principles proposed in the context of designing historical buildings as well as investigating how to design the architecture in this area and how to maintain these buildings buildings in the heart of the new urban developments. Principles and regulations extracted in this study are an effort to systematize the new designs and interventions in the historical building buildings. Providing such regulations and scrutinizing the details of architectural design principles derived from indigenous identity and urbanism architecture of the area is the most important step that should now be included in the management and conservation programs of these buildings.
