Analysis of Damage Incurred in Nine Months and Investigating Restoration Methods of Old Buildings in the Historic Texture of Tabriz Bazaar (Case Study: Shahidi-Rasta-Bazari)

A strategic design for the restoration and preservation of the historic Tabriz Bazaar, the world's largest covered traditional bazaar, has been proposed to address structural and functional challenges while maintaining its cultural significance. The study focuses on Shahidi-Rasta-Bazari, a corridor within the bazaar, analyzing damage patterns over nine months and evaluating restoration methods that balance authenticity with modern needs. Using applied research methodology—combining library studies and field observations—the investigation qualitatively assesses materials, structural pathologies, and spatial capabilities to develop practical solutions for protection and revitalization. The approach aims to transform community perception of historic buildings while ensuring their longevity, offering a macro-to-micro framework applicable to other heritage sites.
