Abstract
Iranian historical buildings are manifestations of the worldview and cultural-social-ecological structure, which is based on indigenous concepts, principles, and values, and strives to meet the temporal and spatial needs of its users. The historical distance of contemporary times from the progress of the achievements of architectural predecessors and sometimes superficial imitation of the past form and appearance of architecture has faced many contemporary architects with the concern of the formation of architectural work with identity. The question of the research is, what has changed the physical-spatial characteristics of residential buildings from the point of view of the realization of indigenous values over time? The current research is a descriptive-analytical study to explain the place of indigenous values in Iranian architecture, which examines the physical-spatial changes of residential buildings from the perspective of the realization of indigenous values over time. The comparison of case studies was done based on the four criteria. The results emphasize the fact that by recognizing the indigenous values of historical houses and analyzing the physical-spatial changes of residential buildings from the point of view of indigenous values over time, the residential buildings of the present time can be shaped in sync with the indigenous values.
