Abstract: The indigenous architecture of each region is a reflection of the culture, climate, and lifestyle of the people of that region. In Gilan Province, climatic conditions and rainwater, along with rich vegetation, have shaped the physical structure and traditional architectural elements such as sloping roofs, verandas, and wooden benches. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of eco-culture on the physical structure and structure of native architectural elements in Guilan. The research method was descriptive-analytical and the data were collected through field study and analysis of scientific and library resources. The results show that ecological patterns are reflected in the choice of materials, building orientation, type of roof covering, and composition of spaces, harmonizing architecture with the environment. This study can contribute to sustainable design and the revival of vernacular architecture in contemporary conditions. The results show that Gilan architecture is naturally environmentally friendly, and distinctive features such as sloping roofs and wooden coverings, open verandas, wooden seats, and the use of local materials reflect an eco-friendly culture. In addition, the internal spatial order and the connection between public and private spaces reflect the cultural and social values of the people of the region. Also, the alignment of architecture with the local climate and culture has reduced energy consumption and increased environmental sustainability. This study emphasizes that the culture of ecotourism influences not only the physical aspects but also the semantic and social structure of the vernacular architecture of Guilan. The research results can be used as a guiding model for designing contemporary architecture with a local and sustainable approach in similar regions.
