An approach in explaining the capabilities of building architecture in improving the quality of the surrounding urban space (Case study: Shahroud Zanjiri Tekyeh)

Statement of the problem: 

Despite the emphasis of contextualist and structuralist theories on the alignment and compliance of architecture with the existing context, it seems that the role of the building has been raised as an element that is influenced by the context rather than influencing the context.

Considering the role and position of architectural buildings in the quality of urban spaces around them in historical contexts, explaining the idea of citizenship and architecture is the main goal of the research.

Presenting and using interpretative-historical method, it has been investigated in the historical context of Shahroud neighborhood of Bidabad.

Research findings in three areas of spatial organization (communication, transfer, connection and development of space), landscape organization (cognitive landscape role of the roof, architectural role of structures and facilities, scale manifestation of details, promotion of sensory richness, sharing and the color of personal belonging, massing according to the enclosure of neighboring roads) and organization of activity and performance (self-sufficient sectional development, control of social behaviors, attraction of compatible uses, security of abandoned spaces, and livability) and based on this, proposals in the field of legislation, Urban management, architecture and urban planning education and public education are provided.

During the design process, not only the effects of the site and the background environment on the architecture should be considered, but also the favorable and unfavorable effects of the architecture after construction should be considered and taken into account in the evaluation of the architectural works.
