Abstract

Problem Statement: Today, the facades of new buildings are among the most important issues in the urban context and especially the historical-cultural context of any city. Historic houses are one of the valuable architectural treasures that can provide experience for the facades of new buildings. Despite the importance of this issue and the need to achieve the architectural patterns of historic houses, today there are scattered and few studies are available in this field. The present study seeks to answer how to use the facades of historic houses in designing the facades of new buildings, by recognizing the pattern of historic houses in Tabriz.
Research objective: In this research, an attempt has been made to raise the awareness of the elements and architectural details of the facades of historic houses to extract the patterns and methods used in their facades and to provide new patterns for new buildings by taking advantage of the current condition of historic facades; At the same time, it aims to destroy the field of improper exploitation of the physical capabilities of historic facades in today’s conventional facades.
Research method: In this regard, using a descriptive-analytical method, the situation and elements in the facade of the research’s selected historic houses were described and interpreted. After gathering the required data from both library and field methods, the components and elements of the historic houses’ facades were analyzed.
Conclusion: The method of applying the patterns and elements obtained from the analysis of the facades of the new buildings is the result of this study.
