The purpose of this study is an Exploration on Ecologic Compatibility and Green Architecture Principles in Iranian Deserts. Disproportionate impact of human on the nature is not new. This disruption is a relatively recent phenomenon related to two chief factors, first, population growth an second, mastery of human over the nature. Since the Industrial Revolution excessive exploitation of the natural resources has been intensified. So, this causes a gradual depletion of natural resources and the imbalance of nature and eventually an uneven relationship between man and nature. Attempts need to be taken t so that human be able to sustain life and the nature survival since a global ecological security, national and social safety are not even guaranteed. Respect for the environment and the nature as well as being familiar with the ecology, topography and weather sound critical. Accordingly, sustainable design is no longer a formal style inspired by the transient conditions, though it includes some deep concepts symbolizing man, the nature and architecture interaction. Benefiting from theoretical findings of green architecture and sustainable urban design principles besides traditional architecture and local urbanization in desert areas are manifested in the notion of Iranian desert city, instead of continuation of uncontrolled expansion and low-density cities, it is advised to take steps towards improving environmental sustainability.
Key words: Desert, desert city, green architecture, sustainable development, urban designing, ,
