Abstract
One of the perennial debates in architecture that has had influenced on theoretical and practical architecture design, is its relationship with nature. The relationship between architecture and nature fosters creativity, and depicts the framework of architectural design. This relationship is sometimes expressed in the form of respect for nature, and sometimes openly violatenature. Aside from the relation between architecture and nature, one of the important approach in design in architecture and in other sciences, is how to interact with the nature. Today, the interaction with nature is important. Nowadays, the architecture considered as part of the nature that surrounds with and harmony with the environment is one of its main goals, and perhaps the most important goal. It is worth noting that many of the buildings and urban spaces in the central plateau of Iran are very good model for how to interact and adapt to harsh environmental conditions and over time by minimum facilities have been able to provide the best comfort for humans, such as Kashan, Meibod, Ardekan, Meymand, Ardestan and many other central cities of Iran. Abyaneh village, that is one of the significant villages in the Central Plateau of Iran, in addition to these properties, is a special place in terms of its monuments, tourist location, natural resources (colorful soils) and its particular customs, which doubles its significance. Due to these reason Abyaneh is chosen as the project site, from all the options, in this study. Abyaneh, is a village of natanz city, in Isfahan province. The village is in 40 kilometers northwest of Natanz, in the Karkas Mountain and is one of the highest residential areas in Iran. The village is 2222 meters above sea level and due to its validity of vernacular architecture and its monumental buildings, is one of the famous villages in Iran. Abyaneh with temperate climates has a favorable natural location. According to what is said, the interaction with Abyaneh nature has been selected for this research. Abyaneh is chosen because it’s one of the architectural masterpieces of the land in the desert. In this regard, the study of the literature of the research and achieve knowledge of Abyaneh architecture is essential. Moreover, study of nature, history and the present of architecture in the form of theoretical and conceptual models with a typical architectural design (design of residential buildings), based on models derived from nature, could be useful.
