Abstract: (655 Views) |
In general expression, settlement is an underlying necessity for humans to protect climate conditions. Hence, climate highly affects the shape of buildings. Climate-compatible design is one of the significant issues providing bet conditions for climatic comfort in the hot and cold seasons of the year using the dominant natural situation of each region. This study aims to examine and identify the substantial strategies for vernacular architectural design to achieve the climatic comfort of vernacular houses in villages of Mahabad County based on the Mahani Technique. This study has been determined based on the quantitative method. The patterns of vernacular buildings in villages of Mahabad County have been collected through 70 case studies (theoretical saturation) using field observations and then evaluated based on the macro and micro scales regarding the building form characteristics (deployment system, in-between space of building, plan’s form features, openings, and materials). Climatic design proposals in Mahabad County were extracted through the Mahani Model, and form characteristics of the building were evaluated and analyzed based on the Mahani principles. One village at least a total of 9 selected villages were assessed in the rural district of Mahabad County to ensure the research accuracy due to the extent and breadth of the research area. Those villages having potential and buildings with relatively valuable and intact textures that are worth studying in terms of vernacular architecture were selected. In the final phase, the compatibility of vernacular patterns with Mahani climatic proposals showed significant and positive differences implying that vernacular settlements were incompatible or had incomplete compatibility with suggested Mahani principles in terms of two features of roof status and in-between space of buildings.
