Abstract :
AbstractBased on the idea of the nature of order, Christopher Alexander studies all the phenomena of the universe under the two headings of living structures and non-living structures, and examines and recognizes the pattern of living structures according to fifteen fundamental characteristics. He accepts modern architecture. does not have and finds living structures in native architecture. In the meantime, Man Made Cave architecture is an example of native architecture that has responded appropriately to the needs of humans in relation to themselves, society, social structures, geographical location, climate, events and nature. Based on this, the current research aims to explain the common points between architecture and Alexander's theory and their comparison with each other, a more appropriate field for benefiting from the experience of past architects and understanding the intelligence used in these works and adapting it to the native. It provided the needs and necessities of Iran's architecture today in the direction of continuity for the future. Therefore, in terms of purpose, this research is classified as fundamental and in the category of qualitative research, and in terms of method, it is classified as an action-research based on library studies and field-survey observations, which The generalizability of the theory has been carried out in Isfahan province and purposefully in 6 underground cities. The findings of the research show that these collections are relatively applicable to fifteen characteristics, but of these fifteen characteristics, the role of different scales, strong centers, boundaries, ambiguity and deep coherence, contrast, degree Classification, heterogeneity, simplicity and inner peace and inseparability in localization are very large and impressive and the role of alternating repetition, definite space, good shape, local symmetry, echo and empty space is less.AbstractBased on the idea of the nature of order, Christopher Alexander studies all the phenomena of the universe under the two headings of living structures and non-living structures, and examines and recognizes the pattern of living structures according to fifteen fundamental characteristics.
