Abstract: (164 Views) |
Objective: This article examines the evolution of approaches and policies for the renovation of indigenous villages in Gilan, from the initial reconstruction efforts to the sustainable architectural regeneration. Experience has shown that vernacular houses, over time, have developed principles and patterns that, either explicitly or implicitly, recur in all homes, enabling them to harmonize optimally with the culture and climate of the region. Some of these patterns are applied on a larger spatial or temporal scale, while others are used on a smaller, more localized scale.
Method: Given the nature of the research questions, this study was conducted based on documentary and library research, as well as content analysis and logical reasoning. The perspectives of experts and scholars in the field were examined to identify and classify the influencing factors.
Results: Throughout history, vernacular houses have arrived at patterns through experience and trial-and-error that are repeated, either explicitly or implicitly, in most homes to optimize performance. These patterns ensure that the structure of houses aligns in the best possible way with the culture and climatic conditions of the region. Some of these patterns are applied on a larger scale, while others are used on a smaller, more limited scale. Over time, through practical experiences and gradual processes, vernacular houses have developed patterns that, aimed at improving efficiency, are repeated explicitly or implicitly in most houses. These patterns are designed to achieve the best harmony with the culture and climatic characteristics of each region. Some patterns are applied on a broader scale, while others are used in smaller and more limited dimensions.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that an integrated approach in other vernacular villages, the application of participatory concepts involving local residents, and an emphasis on local identity and sense of place—as distinctive locations and vibrant public spaces—are among the key elements and criteria for the regeneration of indigenous villages, with a priority on the use of sustainable architecture. |
