ABSTRACT
Dwelling is an essential need of human being; unfortunately, housing development is the main contributor to the problem of climate change and environmental degradation. Thus, it is important to build more sustainable houses. Today, most of these needs have been resolved by rapid construction. But building a house with a fixed structure and defined style cannot respond to all human needs. Regarding social issues, culture and identity along with economic and environmental issues are very important and will contribute to build a more sustainable house. One of the sustainable models of dwelling, which has been proven over time, is the traditional architecture. Most traditional houses in Iran are constructed with the local wisdom of traditional people in responding to the local climate, use of the local materials and are influenced by their culture. Considering dwelling in old Tehran, we can reach to five pattern plans. The aim of this paper is to take into consideration these patterns based on certain criteria. These criteria are environmental benefits, social benefits, and economic benefits. They could help us reach the new concept of a sustainable house. The house uses a knock-down system and modular construction, and has been incorporated with many sustainable features to make it not only comfortable, but also sustainable and adaptable.
