Abstract
The identification of effective factors in the historical formation of
architecture can help develop architecture and its various aspects (Mofidi,
2005). These factors may be classified in the groups of cultural,
historical and climatic. Specifically, the application of the native and
traditional basis of past architecture can be highly significant for the
improvement of contemporary architecture (Fathy, 1986).
Zavareh is one of the most important and ancient cities of Iran which
has partially retained its vernacular architectural structural texture.
Historical factors such as social change and evolution, urban changes and
climatic-morphological changes have all influenced its architecture (Vang
and Grout, 2004). Wind is an important climatic factor for the ventilation
of buildings, the provision of cooling and even the ventilation of the
entire city. Therefore wind has played an important role in the city's
architecture. This paper considers the role of wind and its influence on
residential architecture. Climatic changes are concluded to be a
predominant factor in the creation of new styles within recent periods. By
reviewing the evolution of buildings the recommendations for modern
architecture are presented.
Key words: wind, vernacular architecture, Zavareh, desert
climate, morphology.
