Comparative Analysis of Qajar Historic Houses in Tabriz, Isfahan, Yazd, and Kashan, Regarding their Architectural Forms and Elements

Qajar-era historic houses across Iran, including those in Tabriz, Isfahan, Yazd, and Kashan, exhibit harmonized architectural characteristics that blend foreign influences with local culture and climate. Key features include the use of columns in main façades, emphasis on symmetry in entrances, and the integration of new ornamental patterns with ancient elements. A comparative study of these houses reveals a consistent architectural approach that adapted external cultural influences to reinforce local identity. The research employs qualitative methods, analyzing reliable historical sources and firsthand materials to highlight this period's innovative yet culturally rooted design principles.
