Abstract

The passage of time enters the determinism which makes the architects far from the traditional architecture and can be economic, social, cultural or political. However, the existence of determinism in all cases above is the result of passage of time. The art and architecture are always the subject to the certain and known principles and rules and have the stable, steady and inseparable link with the culture, behavior patterns and values of society. Therefore, the architecture styles of any era reflect the culture and art. This study, entitled as "Investigating the courtyards of traditional houses and the effect of Western architecture" investigates the effect of local culture of climates, Western culture and the social factors on the morphology of courtyards in the traditional houses of Iran.
