Investigating the Effect of Sustainable Patterns of Iran's Traditional Architecture in Sustainable Development

Abstract

The valuable experiences of the past have always been the main investment of scientists and inventors in disentangling the problems and move towards a better future, and the inter-generational transmission of past experiences has improved and strengthened the sense of reliance and has created a sustainable identity. Sustainable architecture is one of the most important trends of contemporary architecture. This trend is considered as a logical response to the issues raised in the industrialization era and it results from our ancestors confirmation corresponding with their time features and capabilities. Thus, the concept of sustainability or any other concept that comes in to the literature should be interpreted in accordance with the customs of the country, so that it is possible for society and culture to understand it. In Iranian architecture, stability issues have been associated with aesthetic, cultural and social issues and considering the interaction between these three categories can be a good solution for the design and construction of future buildings. In this article, we describe the logical and indigenous techniques. Given the nature of research in this study, it is discussed in the context of analytical-descriptive and cross sectional studies in bibliotheca. The results suggest that most of the issues raised in modern architecture are in compliance with traditional architecture in different ways and it reflects the true impact of culture, beliefs and traditions of Iranian people on the constructions and architecture of the past. Recreating these principles in accordance with modern architecture will create new approaches in contemporary architecture of Iran.
