Objective: Traditional Iranian architecture is a reflection of the interaction between humans and nature, culture, and social needs that has evolved over time. Rural houses, in particular, have been shaped by inspiration from ancient patterns as well as the environmental, cultural, and climatic conditions of each region. This study aims to discover the underlying pattern and original idea behind the architecture of rural houses in Sar Aghased village by comparing their mental and physical structures with those of the black tents (siyah chador ) of the Bakhtiari nomads. This comparison explores the similarities and differences between these two types of dwellings and how nomadic culture has influenced rural architectural design. Research Method: The research method is descriptive-analytical and comparative, based on data collected through library studies and fieldwork. The statistical population includes traditional architects, local residents, and individuals involved in assembling the black tents. Data were gathered using in-depth interviews. Findings: The findings reveal that although the two types of dwellings appear different at first glance, there are deep similarities at the level of meaning and lifestyle between them. The Bakhtiari nomadic culture has played a significant role in shaping this historical habitat and has strongly influenced the architectural foundations of Sar Aghased village. Conclusion: The results indicate that the architecture of the houses in Sar Aghased village has been profoundly shaped by Bakhtiari nomadic culture. These findings can be practically applied toward the recognition, revival, and reconstruction of traditional rural architecture. They highlight the influence of various ethnic cultures on the formation of historic buildings and can serve as an effective step toward designing and building future homes aligned with the culture of the people in this region.
