Abstract

Considering science and technology developments and spread of communities and high speed of information transition, it's necessary to become hamonized with world developments. This will be along with transition of cultures, behaviours, different thoughts and life styles. Some of the culture exchanges cause improvement and completing our national culture, but others are incompatible with our regional culture. In addition to this, architecture is mixed with human life and usually related with culture, nature, world vision and thoughts of each nation every time. So we can consider it one of the best appearances of civilization and culture of each nation in any era. Iranian architecture has followed bases and criteria, coordinating with culture, life style, climate, economy and human necessities. It's a question in today's mixed architecture of Iran, especially in large cities, that why our multi thousand yaer culture and civilization can't solve the problem of updating the architecture with it's rich background and special ideas.
