CLIMATE ADAPTED HOUSES IN IRAN: HOT, COLD AND HUMID CLIMATE
The issue of Climate Change has raised so much attention for decades, specifically in recent years. Modern trends in urban architecture which tried to create living machines similar to each other in any context, have now been proven to be insufficient and unless we decide to respect nature and make our buildings cooperate with their contexts as soon as possible we cannot address further threads regarding our future life. If we take a look at traditional architecture existing in old towns and rural area, we can see how people managed to bond a new construction with its surroundings. In this article we study different architectural patterns which exists in old architectures of towns and villages in Iran; the country which can be a good case study due to its rich diversity of nature, climate zones and architectural background. In Iran we have a range of climate of cities from hot and dry to humid and very cold ones. So, depending on the city climate, water supplies and energy sufficiency people tried to create best residential buildings. Here we try to check out some examples.
