Kandovan is one of the unique and magical rocky villages in the world. This organic village is located near Tabriz, Iran. There are some other rocky architectures in the world which there isn’t any residency in them and have been deserted but Kandovan in terms of the life and residency is different from all of them and this 850-years-old place is home to some 700 people. The architecture of Kandovan is a clear sample of harmonization with nature. In this place, the skeletal factors of constructed environment have completely been chosen from the natural factors [1], in other words, there is a great relation between constructed environment and natural aspects in Kandovan. Despite most of the modern constructed environments, residents of Kandovan never tend to erode and change the face of nature. They try to adapt themselves to nature and maintain harmony with it; this harmonization leads the architecture of this place to use the least possible fossil energies. Our aim is analyzing this historical texture and find out the climatic strategies which have been applied here. We will find out, instead of confronting the nature, how man can adapt himself and foster harmony with his surroundings. Our methodology in this paper is analytical and descriptive; for this aim, we have used the various types of architectural software; moreover, for gathering information we used library sources and also visited the place. |
