Abstract:Vernacular architecture is the result of centuries of gradual adaptation to climate,local resources and cultural structures which has endogenously realized many of the principles of sustainability.The native architecture of Gilan as the richest manifestation of human adaptation to the humid and temperate Caspian climate,is a reflection of the interrelationship between culture,environment and livelihood needs of the region. Sustainable architecture as a systematic approach in response to environmental crises,emphasizes reducing energy consumption,utilizing renewable,climate-friendly resources and improving the quality of life.The aim of this research is to analyze the performance of indigenous buildings in Guilan and evaluate their compliance with sustainable architecture criteria.This research is a descriptive-analytical approach that combines documentary studies,field observations,extraction of sustainability indicators and their comparative evaluation by analyzing examples of native architecture in Guilan.The collected data included physical characteristics,building materials,building layout,ventilation and humidity control methods and data analysis was based on their compliance with the principles of sustainable architecture.The present study indicates a reinterpretation of the indigenous sustainable architectural patterns of Gilan while improving the environmental quality of spaces,providing the basis for preserving local identity and achieving sustainability in the development of Iranian architecture.The results show that there is a significant convergence between environmental,economic and social sustainability indicators and the physical-spatial characteristics of Guilan's vernacular architecture.The findings indicate that vernacular architecture can be used as an efficient model for sustainable contemporary design in humid climates.The present study aims to investigate the convergence between sustainable architecture components and vernacular architecture patterns and empirically evaluate vernacular architecture in Guilan province.
