The Regenerative Architecture Application in Improving the Quality of Housing and Decayed Historic Areas in Iran

Deteriorated fabrics is one of the main problems of Iran's metropolises, which is most evident in the city of Tehran. The studies conducted on the possible earthquake in Tehran indicate that this natural disaster will be a great human disaster for Tehran. From time to time, this issue requires urgent decisions to renew this structure as soon as possible, but it seems that the haste in the decision caused many human and quality issues to be ignored. In fact, a holistic approach was needed in order to speed up and consider several cases and components. Revitalizing or revitalizing architecture as a holistic approach derived from sustainable architecture can be used in construction in worn-out contexts. Introducing and explaining the concept of regenerative architecture as a holistic approach that can be used as a theory and conceptual framework in evaluating the degree of desirability of architecture and its compatibility with humans and the environment in deteriorated fabrics. Using the Delphi method and through interviews, as well as reviewing research documents and literature; 6, then, 34 indicators related to research were extracted and in the form of consensus index (importance, certainty and priority) indicators that can have an impact on the non-realization of revitalizing architecture in improving the quality of housing and dilapidated fabric. The developed indicators were ranked based on the process of hierarchical analysis of influence and effectiveness (pairwise comparison). In the final part of the research based on exploratory analysis with the help of Micmac software, they were analyzed in the framework of cross effects matrix. Based on the results of the research, the revitalizing architecture approach as one of the foundational platforms for sustainability, revitalization and improvement of the quality of Housing in Deteriorated fabrics will be able to achieve this through its effective dimensions, and according to the ecological dimensions; operational; design and body; Economic; social and cultural; Mental and perceptive have the most effect and importance. According to the results of the direct and indirect influence of the key drivers, 3 indicators of changing the architectural trend and using the principles of sustainability, improving the performance of the environment, proper organization of the hierarchy have the most direct impact and 3 drivers of the flexibility of activities and functions, balancing needs and satisfactory coexistence and investment development. They will have the greatest indirect effectiveness in the process of applying a revitalizing standard in improving the quality of Housing in Deteriorated fabrics in Iranian cities.
