Abstract

A brief glance at the city view of Iranian historical cities shows valuable ancient textures, all of which were enjoying appropriate liveliness, mobility and hilarity no longer ago. Today, our urban worn out textures are abandoned due to different reasons. This is while, if the textures enjoy safe, appropriate and lively spaces, organized joy and healthy recreations compatible with the society’s values will take place in them. Organizing cities and historical textures is of great importance for two reasons: one is respecting the elders’ heritages and the other one is obviating limits caused by urban texture decay. Inattention to organizing and restoring worn out historical textures plans during several years have caused them to lose their liveliness, efficiency and former activity. Livability is one of the greatest urban planning ideas in the contemporary period. Livability creation among cities of developing countries is a concerning issue and paying less attention to the issue causes liveliness and livability cadence and texture decay, consequently. Hence, paying attention to life quality, conditions, equipment and the urban residents’ needs are vital issues. Finally, infill solution is presented in the framework of renovation and improvement for promotion of quality and empowerment of historical and worn out urban textures along with influential factors of developing such textures.

Highlights

  • Cities and historical backgrounds are changing permanently in order to meet needs of the contemporary society and features of the cities have always changed throughout the time by presence of architecture

  • The factors which should be noted are not fixed, some comprehensive directions are provided to the designers, so the proposed directions are in line with protecting and promoting current values to the main influential indexes in the field of every historical background and criteria which should be noted in every index

  • Investigation and analysis of management of historical textures of our country’s cities becomes more necessary when we find out that most of the textures have various problems and difficulties and such problems result in their evacuation, decay and incidence of various abnormalities [4]

Summary

Introduction

Cities and historical backgrounds are changing permanently in order to meet needs of the contemporary society and features of the cities have always changed throughout the time by presence of architecture. The aim of the present study was to find some comprehensive directions about designing new structures at infill monuments scale and attachment to historical buildings in a way that while protecting and promoting current values in historical background they be able to express contemporary time soul, too. The factors which should be noted are not fixed, some comprehensive directions are provided to the designers, so the proposed directions are in line with protecting and promoting current values to the main influential indexes in the field of every historical background and criteria which should be noted in every index These directions will result in viability, livability, increased validity and promoted quality of current texture and cultural, economic and social booming and growth
