Landscape Typology as a Method for Reading Historical Contexts (Case study: Sari Old Neighbourhood of Ab-Anbar-No)

Iranian cities located in specific geographical regions have developed their unique landscape typology based on historical receptions, and it is necessary to use landscape typology to understand the design of buildings in the Iranian ecological context and reach appropriate model patterns in that region. Unfortunately, after modernisation, contemporary architecture and urban planning in Iran have faced bitter experiences resulting from cultural discontinuity and historical ruptures, resulting in serious harm. This article examines one of the old neighbourhoods in Sari County called "Ab-Anbar No" as an example of the Iranian indigenous urban landscape. The main proposed method of this article is a thematic relationship framework based on images obtained through repetition in urban streets to analyze the proportions, distances between buildings, visual communications, and harmony between two adjacent buildings along streets, and the formation of alleys guiding designers towards a suitable pattern in the existing architecture and urban planning fabric. In this method, perspectives from different points of the fabric are studied to provide detailed information on the structure of the fabric. The frames under study indicate that factors such as balance, confrontation and contradiction, memorability, clarity, emphasis, narrowness, widening, repetition and sequence, suddenness, climate, materials and plant fibres are carefully considered in this fabric, and any revitalization of the fabric must be done while considering such qualities.
