Sustainable Architecture of the Bazaar of Tabriz and its relation with the social and cultural aspects

The Tabriz Historic Bazaar Complex exemplifies how sustainable architecture integrates bioclimatic, economic, social, and cultural elements to create dynamic urban spaces. Unlike conventional studies that focus solely on modern design or historical preservation, this research highlights the enduring relevance of traditional architectural practices in fostering social cohesion and economic vitality. By analyzing Tabriz’s bazaar—an iconic Iranian infrastructure—the study identifies key elements sustaining its active role as a cultural and economic hub. The approach combines present-day observations with historical analysis, offering new perspectives on how sustainable architecture can inform future urban development while preserving heritage. This work underscores the importance of context-specific design in achieving long-term sustainability.
