Abstract
Human has a dimension of knowledge named the tacit knowledge that the main important part of it is obtained through experience and direct connection with phenomena over time that turns into a pattern. Based on knowledge and intelligent use of it, the garden-house pattern appears to have an unbreakable bond with the nature and the understanding of both social and cultural rules of users. The research questions at first place discuss the role of tacit knowledge in shaping the architecture of garden-houses of Meybud and how this knowledge has appeared in architecture of garden-houses of Meybud. Qualitative research method and data collection method relies on library studies and field research. The results indicate that the patterns of housing in Meybud have shaped based on the recognition of two components of environment (the climate and natural context) and human (social norms), understanding of these two and applying them. The tacit knowledge and reliance on experiences is very influential and the garden-house pattern is institutionalized as the most sustainable pattern of architecture.
Highlights
In spite of the importance of tacit knowledge and its background, the study of it, dates back to the early twentieth century
The geographic location and climatic structure of Meybud make the construction of the garden-house inevitable
Low rainfall and high tempered summer are the main reasons for creating the garden-house; the formation of this pattern must not be viewed as a mere climate point because the attraction of the garden with climate in different regions and territories is not limited to landscape’s beauty, but rather related to more complex issue i.e. the anthropology of these lands (Petrochioli, 1994, p. 13)
Summary
In spite of the importance of tacit knowledge and its background (age), the study of it, dates back to the early twentieth century. It is the architecture that forms the function, because it has become pattern and has found an independent identity These patterns are not objective elements like brick and door; they are much deeper and more fluid; they are pure and hidden essence, which every building and city is always made of them (Alexander, 2011). Each society and every man has a background and is the result of its own history (Mohammadi Khabazan, 2016); inhabitants of Meybud has built gardenhouse on the basis of thousand years of experience and relying on a rich social and cultural system to fulfill residential and functional needs This means that the inhabitants of Meybud, based on tacit knowledge, have achieved patterns in the construction of the house, which include its ecological dimension, and the culture, social, and economic nature.
