Abstract :
Rehabiliating Bushehr historic fabric and paying to it as an important urban fabric through increasingcapabilities and facilities is main concern. Bushehr historical fabric can be the consequence of several factors the mostimportant of which is the Persian Gulf and its past history as a national one. This fabric, is organic, dense, compact, having itsown characteristics. One of its main priorities is reaction to weather, cultural, and social conditions. Most of the fabrics in ourcountry are either endogenous or exogenous. Bushehr historical fabric proves to be a dualistic architecture, being bothendogenous and exogenous; thus, it is unique among the existing fabrics. Past architecture of southern Iran has influenced theculture and architecture of the Persian Gulf countries. It has caused Arabs to progress in different fields including architecture.Historical fabric architecture of Albastakiyeh in Dubai is a prominent example Iranian architecture. Bedouin Arabs are tryingto introduce our artist ancestors’ experiences, transferred into their lands, into their own culture and art, as Arab architecture.It is our duty to protect, reconstruct, maintain, and develop this great national heritage.
