Problem statement: Understanding authenticity is highly important in creating authentic and lasting architecture. However, due to a diversity of opinions and the lack of precise criteria, this topic has often been overlooked by experts, and research has been limited to repeating general concepts, primarily within the scope of cultural heritage and building restoration. Given that traditional architecture is recognized as authentic, it is essential to investigate this subject in the architecture of conventional houses across different historical periods to identify the components of authenticity.
Research objective: This study attempts to analyze the concept of authenticity and examine how it manifests and persists in the traditional houses of Yazd city, during the transition from the Qajar to the Pahlavi period, by reviewing articles and expert opinions. Recognizing architectural changes in traditional houses during these two periods plays a significant role in understanding the components of authenticity in architectural structures. The study focuses on the physical (corporeal), conceptual, and semantic evidence within the houses to identify the trends of continuity or rupture of these concepts amidst the historical and cultural developments of that era.
Research method: This is an applied, qualitative research study employing a content analysis strategy. Data was collected through library research, documentation, and field visits. After identifying the components of authenticity in architecture based on the analysis of documents and expert views, houses from the Qajar and Pahlavi periods in Yazd were selected as case studies. The evolutionary trend of these authenticity components was then examined from the Qajar to the Pahlavi period using comparative-analytical and descriptive methods.
Conclusion: The examination of authenticity components across the three levels -Form, Concept, and Meaning- in the Qajar and Pahlavi houses indicates that the concept and meaning inherent in an architectural element are no longer perceivable at the other levels of authenticity when that element is removed from the level of Form in traditional houses. Furthermore, many of the components of authenticity across the three levels are no longer evident in the architectural transformation of buildings from the Qajar to the Pahlavi period.
