Usage of Indigenous Architectural Patterns for Manufacturing Industrial Housing, Case: Renovation Project of Odlajan of Tehran, Iran

Abstract

Shortage of housing and the growth of increasing demand of it are often considered as the essential problem in the developing countries. The studies indicate the issue is truly correct about Iran. The factors which always cause the problem of shortage of housing that the main and important of which in Iran are: the growth of population, need for renovation of old settings, inappropriate and imperfect current building industry and destruction by natural factors such as earthquake. All of these factors result in the considerable growth of housing demand. In this condition, mass production of housing in order to acceleration of building construction is necessitated. One of the difficulties involving mass production is not using of indigenous patterns in constructing process. The goal of this research is using of indigenous patterns in mass production and industrial housing and also replying to the question of how you can use the indigenous patterns in industrial architecture. Odlajan district of Tehran has been selected as case study. The typology of the existing housing extracted. Then selective patterns for industrial construction are offered. This research involves the simulation method in hypothesis test. Data collecting is based on librarical studies and field survey with the descriptive-analysis techniques.
