Defense rather than employed armed means, includes all measures which minimize vulnerability of building, site or town against invasion. This research tries to demonstrate the dimensions of passive defense in the history of Iranian architecture to indicate past approaches and utilization of these methods in a new generation of wars. Indigenous knowledge in each field is the experimental solutions based on historical lessons that can be different in any environment due to special circumstances. In spite of new wars using modern armed means, many ideas of historical past are expandable and usable in new passive defense planning. To achieve the practical application, principals and requirements of passive defense have been explored and their historical origins have been studied. It also provides the types of inspiration of other countries in some cases. The findings of the research will help localization of passive defense and using previous experiences in defense logistics plans.
