Abstract

EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE and usage of different building techniques is found all around the world where architectural richness and various building cultures may be taken into consideration. The widespread and high capacity of EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE from the past to the present, have provided the ability for construction of various types of buildings such as rural houses, government headquarters, religious buildings and even complete city with earthen material. In this study, Iran is considered as one of the oldest countries which have used EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE, the method which has unfortunately been forgotten for many years in the contemporary architecture. Revival and recognition of it can provide valuable lessons to meet our today's requirements in the field of EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE. Simple and commonplace techniques of traditional architecture could provide many technical and practical applications which can be studied and used for conservation of contemporary EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE. Therefore, by doing a survey of these practical aspects of EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE, based on the local know-how in THE SOUTH OF KHORASAN, and their potential efficiencies in CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION of other earthen structures, is the focus of this paper. Primarily the main architectural resources in any region seem to be the local architects of these places. This is because the architectural construction is subject to the different conditions of materials, climatic and geological features and may have intricacies which is in the mind of the local architect and not recorded anywhere else. The problem is that as long as this local knowledge is not recorded anywhere except in the minds of the local architects, the general knowledge of this filed is gradually fading away and we seem to be moving towards losing this invaluable type of information. To deal with this problem, this study intends to contribute to preserve parts of this knowledge and pass it forward through having had many of these local veteran architects directly interviewed. For this purpose, field studies were carried out, some questionnaires were prepared and experienced traditional architects of the region were identified and eight of them were interviewed and the results have been collected and analyzed. The analysis of this study has been carried out within an applicable-developmental research based on a combined method (descriptive, measuring, field research). Moreover, the content analysis of the results is presented as recommendations for CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION of adobe buildings. It is worth saying that these recommendations have been presented according to the subject in direct relationship with the result of interviews and are tried to be classified and categorized in the fields of CONSERVATION AND RESTORATIONs. Eventually, according to the results, the lessons learned from architecture and experiences of local architects which are considered to be the important part, have the capacity to be upgraded for contemporary restoration measures and can provide useful and practical recommendations that if paid attention will cause guaranty and conservation of adobe buildings.
