The courtyard has a special place in the spatial structure of traditional Iranian architecture and in addition to climatic and geographical applications, it has also been important from the point of view of architectural and functional design. The suitable landscape for the surrounding spaces has overshadowed the quality of their access as well as the type and extent of their use by users. This essential member of Iranian schools has been removed from the spatial physical structure of many schools due to the lack of land and due to the density of buildings, or its location has been changed, and its role in changing the functional function of the building is ignored. This has pushed the purpose of the current research to investigate the role of the courtyard on the functional efficiency of schools, on this basis, factors such as the type of geometry of the courtyard in the configuration of the building, and its location were considered as indicators in the current research, and therefore, in general, the research method It will be quantitative and qualitative and four schools with traditional, contemporary and modern designs were selected as case examples and the analyzes related to measuring functional efficiency were carried out on them using two methods of drawing graphs and using Depthmap software. Finally, the results of the research show The existence of a courtyard with a central pattern and with a rectangular or square geometry creates the greatest amount of functional efficiency, flexibility, integrity, and also the ability to access the spaces in schools.

The courtyard has been one of the main spaces in houses, particularly in traditional architecture of Iran, that has played a significant role in the spatial organization of houses. The main question of this research is: What is the relationship between the spatial organization of historical houses with single-courtyard and double-courtyard, and the number of courtyards? The aim of this research is to discover the relationship between the number of courtyards (single-courtyard and double-courtyard) and the spatial organization of historical houses. The required information for this research has been gathered through library resources, documents from the Cultural Heritage Organization, and field observations. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach to analyze the case studies. The statistical population consists of (20) single-courtyard and double-courtyard historical houses from the Qajar period in Tabriz. This research was conducted in three stages: In the first stage, the influential factors in the spatial organization of historical houses were introduced. In the second stage, the houses plans were analyzed based on the factors derived from the theoretical framework of the research. In the third stage, the data obtained from the analysis of the samples were compiled and concluded. The study specifically examines the main and selected spaces of the houses, including the entrance, courtyard, Tanabi (main hall), rooms, Iwan (a type of porch), and stairs. Various factors influence the spatial organization of historical houses, and this research focuses on those related to the research topic. One of these factors is the geometry of spatial layout; the study of historical houses architecture often shows that the courtyard is usually a central space, with other spaces and functions arranged around it. Therefore, central and radial layout patterns are more prevalent in studies focused on courtyards. Besides the central and radial layout patterns, the geometric pattern of the spaces around the courtyards, which reflecting the geometric form of the built fronts around the courtyard, is also influential and worth examining in the geometry of spatial layout. Another influential factor in the spatial organization of historical houses is axes. Based on studies, it can be stated that movement axes (internal and external), visual axis, and symmetry axis are the main influential axes in the spatial organization of historical houses. Another factor is hierarchy; in historical houses, hierarchy is more about spatial hierarchy and access hierarchy. According to studies, it can be stated that the elongation of courtyards, the depth of spaces relative to the entrance, and permeability are influential in the spatial and access hierarchy.In summary, it can be stated that in single-courtyard and double-courtyard houses, various factors such as the geometry of spatial layout (based on central and radial layout patterns, and the geometric pattern of the spaces around the courtyards), axes (based on internal and external movement axes, visual axis, and symmetry axis), and spatial and access hierarchy (based on elongation of courtyards, depth of spaces relative to the entrance, and permeability) collectively indicate a specific type of spatial organization, related to each of the two mentioned types. The research findings show that although these factors are similar in some cases, they also create differences in the spatial organization of single-courtyard and double-courtyard plans. For instance, the study of the geometry of spatial layout shows differences in the arrangement of spaces relative to the courtyard, differences in massing and the number of built fronts around the courtyard, the degree of introversion relative to the type of courtyard, and etc. The study of axes indicates differences in movement paths and internal spatial relationship, differences in the direction of visual axes, the manner of symmetry observance, and etc. The study of hierarchy shows differences in the division of the house's areas, differences in the placement of spaces at various depths relative to the entrance based on their function, and etc.

Children spend about 25% of their time in the educational open spaces, as the outdoor space for preschool children (3-6 years) can influence mental ,physical, artistic and educational needs, which all have interconnections with creativity growth. Considering the neglect of landscape design, researchers shall pay attention to the principled design of this important space in order to promote children's creativity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the quality of open space educational environments in order to strengthen the role of these spaces in the growth of children's creativity. Based on the literature review, the influential factors on creativity were identified and categorized. an open-ended test (with a qualitative method) conducted to gather the attitude of architects and specialists in psychology and educational sciences who are experts in the field of children's creativity, aiming to optimize open educational spaces in and develop the creativity of children aged 3-6years. The results studied descriptively by content analysis method. Relying on the findings of the open-ended test and literature review, a closed-ended questionnaire was published between the kindergarten and preschool community of Tehran. Then, by performing exploratory factor analysis using spss-26 software on the results of the questionnaires, 6factors were introduced: "inviting the environment to participation and experience, psychological well-being, stimulating natural elements of the environment, diversity of performance, environmental vitality and environmental motivation". The details of the above factors, given the questions that each factor poses, can lead to a list of principles of open space design for children that can be the subject of future research. The use of gender as a controlling factor can introduce subject for future studies.

Iranian architecture has historically confronted various climatic challenges in desert regions, often leading to innovative solutions. One such challenge is the increase in temperature coupled with decreased relative humidity, particularly during the hottest days of the year. A sustainable climatic solution for achieving thermal comfort and mitigating harsh weather conditions in this region involves the integration of central courtyards and basements. However, the lack of moisture in the air renders the mere construction of these spaces insufficient for thermal comfort. To address this, pond spaces were incorporated into the yard and, in some cases, into the cellar or basement to help lower temperature and increase relative humidity.

This study employs descriptive and analytical methods alongside library and internet research. Additionally, simulation techniques were utilized to explore the impact of the pond factor within the two spaces of the cellar and yard.

The findings indicate that introducing a moisture source (pond) results in an average temperature reduction of up to 3.5 degrees Celsius in the yard and up to 2.5 degrees Celsius in the basement compared to scenarios without a pond on the hottest day of the year. Furthermore, the presence of a pond in the yard does not lead to significant changes in the temperature and humidity levels of the basement, even with air circulation.

While the pond is essential for reducing the temperature of the yard itself and cannot be omitted from the design of desert homes, its role in enhancing thermal comfort within the cellar is particularly notable during peak heat hours. In the pond scenario, the temperature difference compared to the outside reaches approximately 9 degrees Celsius, whereas the scenario without the pond yields a difference of about 5 degrees. This underscores the undeniable importance of the water pond and the associated humidity in achieving thermal comfort.

The yard is one of the most important elements in a person’s residence which goes way back in history. The presence of a yard provides features like shading, natural ventilation, lighting, etc. for peoples’ houses, it can also affect one’s performance as an environmental factor. But in today’s residences, the presence of a yard or Vegetation has been somewhat neglected and this neglect of these elements has caused some mental disorders and has jeopardized the resident’s physical and mental well-being. Therefore, the purpose behind this project has been to monitor the influence of yards and vegetation on the resident cognitive performance which has been carried out in descriptive-analytical style.

For this purpose, three of the most crowded areas in the core center of the city of Ilam were monitored from the beginning of Tir till the seventh of Mehr. Alongside academic study, Physical presence in these places, and conducting field studies, at the same time the responses of 502 passers-by to the questionnaires were recorded. The collected data has been validated in a new way and through logistic regression fitting, the role of influencing variables in predicting the probability of being placed in the acceptable cognitive performance of people (standard) has been determined with 24SPSS software.

The findings showed that people living in houses with yards that have vegetation can improve people's cognitive performance. Also, the presence of vegetation in people's residences and living in villa houses (with a yard) can predict the probability of people's cognitive performance up to 0.967%.

Examining the cognitive performance status of people based on gender also showed that there is a significant difference between the cognitive performance of women and men, Women's cognitive performance is stronger than men's in terms of verbal, time and place awareness, memory and visual-spatial/executive variables, and they had weaker cognitive performance in terms of abstraction and attention variables. Finally, it can be said that the yard and vegetation affect the performance of people, especially women.

The level of thermal comfort in urban open spaces plays an important role in pedestrian health. Residential environments and open spaces of housing units require more comfortable temperatures. Courtyards as microclimate modifiers and common open spaces between urban and architectural scales can be a good passive strategy to increase thermal comfort and reduce energy demand of buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify their temperature balancing effect in the prevailing summer and winter climates. Different urban forms provide different microclimates with different levels of comfort for pedestrians. The effects of urban microclimates on urban air quality and building energy use make them significant at a larger scale. Urban forms, shaped by the typology of buildings and the open space between them, have different impacts at different seasons. They meet the demand for compactness in summer to provide shelter from the sun and openness in winter to provide access to the sun. Therefore, to design a form that provides the best thermal conditions throughout the year, through the design of openings in the open space openings - height and width and position of the opening. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the design of courtyards for microclimatic improvement of outdoor spaces. However, there is still little knowledge about the thermal performance characteristics of courtyards, especially in cold and semi-arid climates.In this study, we measure the effects of different forms of courtyards on thermal comfort and climatic forces, including wind and radiation, using ENVI-met software by selecting a neighborhood unit in Sabzevar city. To this end, we have kept all design factors constant, including the height of adjacent blocks, vegetation, and materials, except for the openings of the adjacent courtyard. We studied the forms of the interrupted central courtyard, the closed central courtyard, and the U-shaped courtyard, and compared the thermal comfort of the open space in terms of the UTCI and PET indices. These three forms of the inner courtyard were analyzed for the hottest and coldest day so far in the cold and semi-arid climate of Sabzevar. ENVI-met was used to simulate outdoor air temperature, mean radiant temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity, and to convert these data to Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) and universal thermal climate index (UTCI).The results show that the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity are affected by the shape of the courtyard and the openings and play an important role in achieving optimal thermal comfort. The results show that the enclosed courtyard provides better protection from wind and radiation in this cold and semi-arid climate and is more successful from the point of view of thermal comfort. The results show that the enclosed courtyards provide better protection from wind and radiation in this cold and semi-arid climate and is closer to the thermal comfort range than the U-shaped courtyards from the thermal comfort point of view, with 4.88 and 7.73 degrees in the summer solstice and 4.01 and 1.28 degrees in the winter solstice in the UTCI and PET indices, respectively.

Residence is in the field of typology. Man needs an architecture that reveals his position on the world in order to achieve an existential foothold that fits with things, others and himself. This includes both the direct understanding of what is general and the knowledge of what is detailed. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the role of the physical elements of the yard in order to increase the satisfaction of the residents in eco-oriented housing, which was carried out in the city of Tabriz. The real method is a survey and one of the data collection tools includes library and documentary studies. The face validity of the questionnaire and its reliability have been confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test. The questionnaire is in the form of a Likert scale. In order to analyze the data through SPSS software and descriptive statistics, the level of satisfaction has been used. The results of the research indicate that there is a significant relationship between the ten criteria such as the percentage of green space in the yard, children's play area, water pond, the direction of the yard, etc. And the indicators related to it have the highest level of satisfaction and importance of the residents. It is suggested that these criteria, which are effective in increasing the satisfaction of the residents of the housing, should also be used in the design of the courtyards of new houses.

Life is one of the valid categories in architecture. In spite, the fact that some experts in the contemporary period have paid attention to the issue of life and the effective components in its formation as a special quality, but in architecture of this period, one rarely sees the presence of vital components in the constructions. This is despite the fact that in the architecture of the pre-modern periods, these features can be received so that it creates a level of quality. In the architecture of the pre-modern period the house has more value among the buildings built. In these houses, the courtyard is one of the important spaces as the focal attention and through this the dignity of all the house spaces originates from it. Therefore, the main research problem is that; What are the vital quality components in Qajar architecture of Yazd? In order to approach a level of physical and mental life in the houses of the contemporary period, knowing the components and the possibility of their application is the main goal of this article. Qualitative research method is among the methods that provide the possibility of obtaining reliable results in this research. Therefore, based on the foundation data method and field research, we will introduce extractive components. For this purpose, by selecting examples of houses of the Qajar period in Yazd, which seem to have this quality, an attempt has been made to identify the components that create or strengthen vitality in architecture. The research results indicate that the evaluated components, in addition to having diversity, also follow a semantic level, so that these levels are closely related to the territorial talents and knowledge skills and architect vision. Also, the components explained by some architectural theorists, including Alexander, can be proven in the architecture of Qajar period houses in Yazd and have relative validity.

The concept of vernacular architecture for humans has always been subject to climatic conditions if health and comfort were of concern. For this purpose, it is necessary to assess the constitutive component thereof. One of the basic components of vernacular architecture is the open spaces or courtyards with different dimensions subject to the climatic conditions of the reign. The rational spatial orientation of these spaces determines the architectural nature of vernacular structures and highly contributes to the axiomatic aspect and the identity of such structures. The existing general patterns of these spaces are assessed in two, hot and humid, and arid climates in the two cities of Yazd, located in central, and Bushehr, located in the south-west regions of Iran. In each city, four structures of the Qajar era (1796-1925) constitute the subjects of this article. The subject structures belonged to the wealthy and elite, where the courtyard was located in the middle of summer and winter dwellings. The method adopted in this article is comparative-qualitative. An attempt is made to compare the findings of the subject structures through field observations and library documentation. The objective is to answer the following this question : " How is the climatic performance of the yard in two arid climate and hot and humid climates ? " . In general, the findings indicate that the shape and dimensions of each courtyard are proportionally subject to the geometry and physical characteristics of the entire structure. As to the proportion of the structure height, Vertical component to the dimensional horizental components of the courtyard in Bushehr, with an average depth-to-height ratio of Z at 1.24 is evident, indicating a standing position . Consequently, the airflow in the courtyard follows a circular pattern, something essential for this unique climate in providing natural vertical ventilation. This phenomenon is reversed in Yazd where the airflow follows a flat pattern, with an average depth-to-height ratio of Z at 0.51 is evident, something essential for this unique climate in providing natural horizontal ventilation. In both climates, the courtyard orientation is N-S to control temperature rise with an average of 16% and 29% of the entire structure area, respectively. It is found that in Yazd the existence of a water pond area with a 73 m2 average and a vegetation area at 56 m2 in the courtyard provide the required humidity for the area. The courtyards in Bushehr are covered with less vegetation with an average area of 5 m2, and the existence of a water pond there is an almost new phenomenon with an average area of 7 m2 because in the traditional architectural plans water pond non- existence. The courtyard area in Bushehr is square with an average of length to width ratio1.07 and smaller than the rectangular courtyards of Yazd with an average of length to width ratio1.43. Therefore, the yard has also had a climatic approach in both cities. The findings of such studies can contribute to the planning and construction of modern buildings with vernacular architecture if necessary.

The study of the rural situation in Iran shows that the sustainability of rural housing, which safeguards the survival of their inhabitants, has been affected by recent decades’ procedures and policies, in terms of their physical body, economies and culture. This has led to the threatening of rural life as well as environmental and human instability. This study has considered the yard and other open spaces of rural housing as important parts of life, in order to then explore the role of yards in the sustainability of rural housing. A survey is conducted in the villages around the city of Garmsar, collecting information through field observations and questionnaires, which is then described and analysed, with findings and analysed data going through factor analysis and one-way analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA). The results show that out of the nine identified factors, six are more influential. Livelihood and production, the physical factor in terms of area and percentage of unbuilt space, social adaptation factor and the yard function in interactions between residents and neighbours, environmental stability and adaptation factor in rural housing, are found to be most influential, both in traditional and rebuilt houses. On the other hand, the biological and residential factors of the yards in terms of constant life functions and fulfilling basic needs, and the service-comfort factors concerning daylighting and parking etc. have been most influential in contemporary houses.

In the pattern of traditional courtyard houses, the courtyard forms the vital core of the house And based on material and spiritual needs and observance of hierarchy, traditional courtyards have been formed. It seems necessary to study the impact of geography and climate, society and culture, intellectual insights of the family system on the structure of buildings. Most of the textures of Iran's historic cities are traditional courtyard houses. These houses are in danger of being demolished, so it is vital to study the body of the yards. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the environmental and cultural impact of traditional courtyard houses on the main house space and entrance in the residential architecture of the cold and dry region of Hamadan. The importance of research is that the traditional courtyard houses of Hamedan have been part of the historical architectural identity of the country. Therefore, for conservation and modeling, their study is essential. Given the prevalence of cold climate in Iran, considering the design of buildings, which are significant consumers of fossil fuels, can reduce a large part of energy consumption. They are also considered for the preservation of culture and their realization in today's homes. In this research, the content analysis method and, with the help of data theory, open, axial, and selective coding method has been used. In sample analysis to produce meaning, descriptions are performed in open coding, comparison through axial coding, and pattern determination through selective coding, respectively. The strategy of this article in the analysis and judging stage is a quantitative and qualitative method. Climate Consultant climate software, Ashri 55 thermal comfort model, and Iranian climatic zoning studies have been used in the quantitative method. The main results show that in the study of climate change over 40 years, the number of months in which the comfort conditions have been established is less, and the months in which heating and cooling measures should be considered have reached their maximum duration. Two general categories of components in the field of culture, including Iranian architectural methods, cultural elements are considered effective in forming the architectural pattern of traditional courtyard houses In order to achieve climatic goals, it can be seen that Qajar and eclectic introverted species have a more favorable situation in terms of  receiving solar radiation, protection against adverse wind currents in the halls.

House architecture is an important topic in the study of architectural styles, and the study of its evolution can provide lessons for architectural knowledge. This paper focuses on the spatial transformation of historical houses by comparing the courtyard houses of the Qajar and the first Pahlavi period in ​​ Kerman. The research questions are as follows: 1) what geometric and spatial transformations occurred in Kerman between the Qajar and the first Pahlavi periods? 2) what changes took place in the structural role of the courtyard in these two periods?

Determining the differences between Qajar and the first Pahlavi houses in the spatial and geometric arrangement of spaces, indicates the changes between the two periods.

This paper used a descriptive-analytical method and after selecting the houses, the criteria for the analysis of the houses’ plans were developed.  By comparing the samples with research indicators, the spatial and structural similarities and changes of the two types were determined through logical reasoning, and then qualitative results were provided.

Based on the analysis of samples, although there are similarities between the houses of the two periods in terms of geometric features in the facades and the second spatial layer in the plan, more freedom in designing houses of the first Pahlavi than in the Qajar is observed. This increases the variety of the second layer placement in the plan, the arrangement of the spaces around the courtyard, the lack of emphasis on using harmony in opposite facades, and the decrease of symmetry. The rotation of the courtyard axis and the change of organization pattern around the courtyard indicate the gradual transformation of the role of the courtyard in the first Pahlavi houses, the fading of the basic role, and the centrality of the courtyard.

Yazd is a historical city that has the oldest residential buildings. It was a large government center exhibiting glory and prosperity in the 77-year period of Muzaffarid rule. In the Safavid era as well, Yazd saw an increase in residential construction due to the governing sense of security and peace in the city. One of the integral parts of houses built then was the courtyard, many diverse types of which remain from that period. The evolution of the courtyard represents the practical and theoretical transformations of architectural thought. The diversity of house forms during that period and the chronology and evolution of the courtyard from the Muzaffarid to the Safavid era are the inquiries of this research. This research uses historical documents as well as field studies. The analytical-historical method is employed and the main historical sources include Tarikh-e Yazd and Tarikh-e jadid-e Yazd (for the Muzaffarid era) as well as Jame‘e Mofidi and Jame‘e Ja‘fari (for the Safavid era). First, the characteristics of the houses in the historical texts are explained and then, the architecture of existing houses is briefly introduced. Then, a comparative study of the physical aspects of the courtyards is completed in the form of quantitative reports. The findings show that during the Muzaffarid era, three types of courtyards were used: inner courtyard, khalf-e-bagh, and sarabostan (a small garden that was built next to old houses and had a great impact on the microclimate). In the Safavid era, the inner courtyard and sarabostan continued to exist but the khalf-e-bagh courtyards were not built anymore. Finally, it can be said that the design of courtyards in the Safavid garden houses is a continuation and upgrade of the model of Muzaffarid sarabostan and harmonious with the design of the Muzaffarid garden houses.

The absence of children in the community and the lack of skills in communicating with each other is an issue that has caused many behavioral problems in the community today. How students communicate in school as a second home has been one of the factors influencing their social behavior. Inadequate conditions in the school environment and the lack of coordination between the environment and students' personalities double the need to pay attention to educational, behavioral, social and environmental issues. Research Question: How does flexible architecture affect student social behaviors?

This research uses an integrated method (qualitative-quantitative) to find the effect of flexible architecture on social relations and the relationship between these two components among students in different situations, so that initially 8 schools with the method Multi-stage clusters were randomly selected and collected before and after the test using descriptive-analytical and quasi-experimental methods based on detailed observations and library and field studies. One school was considered as the test school and the other schools with almost the same conditions as the unequal control group, and the other schools were studied because of their flexible environments. Out of 32 components obtained from theoretical foundations and interviews with experts, 7 components were obtained after scoring. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using observations and 220 questionnaires, and finally in SPSS software data were analyzed using t-test and Sheffe test.

The results of this study indicate that the dimensions of social behavior, which according to Altman, is divided into four categories: "crowding, privacy, territory and personal space"; Among students, the physical dimensions of the environment are affected, including flexible architecture, which includes the components of "diversity, variability, and adaptability." There is a significant difference between students 'social behavior before and after making changes in the yard and corridor. Changes affect the quality of the educational environment and as a result, students' social behavior changes their behavioral range. Finally, it allows students to participate directly in the creation and operation of a multifunctional collective environment as well as individual group activities. On the other hand, active interaction in the environment along with maintaining privacy and personal space provides the possibility of students' social development.

According to the remains of ancient historical houses that have existed in many parts of Iran since the sixth millennium BC, each house typically consisted of two parts - one built and enclosed, and the other open (courtyard). The role of geographical and environmental phenomena is clear in the formation of open space or yard of the houses, however, the architecture of housing in every period changes due to the demands and needs of the residents, and these changes significantly affect the aspects and spatial relations of the house. These transformations have led to the change in the closed and open spaces of the houses.
The current research has been conducted with the historical approach using the analytical-descriptive method. Documentation of the architectural features is based on gathering the library sources and field study. To achieve this purpose, some traditional houses of Ardabil dating back to the Qajar to Pahlavi eras have been considered in terms of physical elements and yard patterns. To do this research, 23 samples of traditional houses of Ardabil in the historical area of this city have been identified and then classified. The results obtained from the classification strengthened the idea of the dominance of rectangular form in the design of the houses. Houses with a yard built in a single front have the most frequency among the research samples. Also, due to the location of the Ardabil province in the mountainous regions, most of the days of the year have cold weather, and most of the daily activities are done inside the rooms. Therefore, due to the obtained frequencies, the ratio of open spaces was less than 40% of the site’s area on average.

Since Yazd, Iran, which was a significant part of the country, was protected from the deliberate destruction of the Mongols during Muzaffarids era, it can be expected that there have been continuous construction activities in this area since the Seljuq era. Especially considering the specific political field, a special local style called Muzaffarid or according to Donald Wilber "Yazd school" under the influence of Muzaffarid rulers can be identified and introduced in this field. The purpose of this article is determining the spatial quality of Sarabostan in the architecture of Muzaffarid-Timurid houses in Yazd region. In this study, the oldest houses that have been registered and identified so far have been cited along with historical texts. Considering the insufficient Ilkhanate houses in other parts of Iran and the number of historical references to the house in the historical text of Yazd and also lack of enough research in this field, this article discusses the importance and position of Sarabostan in the residential architecture of Muzaffarid era. The present study tries to recognize the residential architecture in the Muzaffarid era by combining interpretive-historical methods and study of examples and relying on library-documentary studies, as well as examining and analyzing the house-garden architecture of this period. The results of library research show that Sarabostan is seen frequently and in different forms in the historical texts of the Ilkhanate-Timurid era of Yazd. Researches show that in accordance with the existing house-gardens and historical texts of Yazd, three types of Sarabostan have been identified. The first category includes houses with a pit- wooded land garden that is combined with the porch. The second category includes houses that have a small garden called "Behind the garden" (Khalfe Bagh). This category has two subspecies, the first one is included four- Iwan (porch chamber) houses with Khalfe Bagh and the second one includes Ilkhanate houses with a back garden.
