Abstract :

The need to pay attention to the recognition and details of the buildings from various climatic, form and historical-evolutionary aspects is not hidden from any researcher. Understanding the architecture of buildings can help the development of urban spaces and its sustainable evolution. In Zahedan, due to its geographical and climatic location, special buildings with climatic characteristics were built in the second Pahlavi period, and the capital of these buildings is one of their most important features. In this article, the aim is to recognize the recess of the Pahlavi buildings in Zahedan city. The research method is descriptive-analytical and quantitative-qualitative. Data collection in the first stage is through content analysis method based on images and researcher observations of 19 buildings in the city. Out of 19 buildings in the central and old neighborhoods of this city, 8 buildings were analyzed in the secondary monitoring. In the second stage, building features were prioritized through a questionnaire tool and using AHP method. The number of experts to weigh the criteria was 10 people. The result of the research shows that the architectural style of the 8 buildings studied is the traditional architectural style. Examining the facades of the buildings shows that out of the 8 buildings, 6 buildings have recess, which were built with brick materials in a simple way and without side decorations. Therefore, the predominant type of buildings at the entrance of Zahedan city is of traditional architecture and in a simple way and decorations are also based on bricks.
