the evolution of iranian architectural technology with regard to modern technology in the use of building materials

In this study, the challenges and opportunities for technological development in iranian architecture have been examined. major obstacles include economic limitations, lack of technical infrastructure, deficiencies in workforce training, and the absence of cohesive standards, which slow down the progress of modern technologies in construction. conversely, rich cultural heritage, climatic diversity, digital technologies, and international collaborations offer significant opportunities to overcome these barriers. the current research is analytical in nature and aimed at practical application. data collection was conducted through documentary and library sources, utilizing recent reports and resources on iranian architecture. initially, the study employing content analysis explores fundamental concepts, and through inductive reasoning, examines and scrutinizes composite concepts. findings indicate that utilizing indigenous construction materials, innovative designs, and technologies such as bim and parametric design can reduce costs and enhance cultural identity. consequently, to effectively support this process, developing a comprehensive national program with standardization, financial policies, promoting specialized education, and establishing research and development institutions are essential. regional and international collaborations and the development of a competitive environment also play a crucial role in accelerating technology and elevating architectural projects. the integration of these policies and actions paves the way for achieving sustainable, innovative, and identity-driven architecture, outlining a sustainable and progressive future for iranian architectural art.
