Abstract :

Due to the lack of a suitable visual model in Shiraz, it was decided to solve this significant gap with architectural courses in Iran. The research method used in this qualitative study is content analysis. With the grammar shape method, patterns and typology can also be analyzed and designed. The result of the research: the houses and windows of this period are of three types: Early Pahlavi houses (three-sided and four-sided buildings with longitudinal construction and terraces with arch, full frames, and wooden windows with decorations and metal grids) 2- Middle Pahlavi houses (buildings on both sides, one floor with a basement, are non-parallel, the two-part windows are semicircular or rectangular and gridded, and the windows are colored glass) 3- Late Pahlavi houses (mostly on one side, divided into three horizontal axes, each with protrusions or depressions in the definition of the entrance). A centaur, stairs, and columns are among the main decorations at the building's entrance. The facades are parallel, the windows are lattice and wooden with colored glass. It is necessary to establish fundamental and basic rules, as well as general rules, in order to write and implement the Shape Grammar method. Tables No. 4 and 5 demonstrate basic signs of writing. The reading of Basic Shape Grammar rules is presented in table number 6. The researcher then draws and displays two numbers of the house using this method in a step-by-step manner, and finally, two views are generated randomly using Shape Grammar rules. As a result of the external existence as well as the existence of a built-in shape grammar, these rules are accurate in not separating houses from each other. The results of this study support this assertion.
