| dc.description.abstract | The adverse environmental condition of the 21st century can impede sustainable settlement in buildings for future use. However, historic buildings as an example of vernacular architecture have potential to provide a healthy indoor that resists the 21st-century climate change. With proper adaptation and improvements, not only such buildings provide a healthy indoor environment but also, they can control the new adverse climatic conditions. Muzaffarieh carpet market located in Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex (THBC), as a practical example of vernacular architecture in Tabriz city, has the potential to withstand the adverse environmental conditions of the 21st century. However, lack of local action plans and guidelines is a limit in the adaptation of this market to climate change.
Through a comprehensive theoretical framework, the presented study reviews the sustainable strategies for adaptation of Muzaffarieh carpet market. Data and information are collected from recent reports and articles for this location; though, to find substantial evidence of the conditions need further investigation. The aim is to supply indoor spaces with solutions concerning healthy air and water efficiency and to come up with an educational approach for informing shopkeepers. Here, the adaptation plan for the indoor environment is suggested through studying a number of historic buildings in the U.S. that are certified as green buildings with similar climates like Tabriz. The presented suggestions can ensure the sustainable presence of users in THBC for a longer time. | en_US |
