Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to achieve design criteria that lead to the revival of indigenous and rich architecture of the past and its revival in contemporary housing.
Method: The research method of the present study is a combination of descriptive-analytical and comparative methods with an applied nature. After recognizing the indigenous architectural features of hot and dry climate and recognizing Plex housing through field studies (observation and interview) and reviewing some library documents, the desired indices in the study samples were evaluated by scoring system and by quantitative comparison (scores obtained in indigenous housing samples and Plex housing (qualitative comparison) (review of criteria obtained from studies) on the adaptability and inference of architectural features of each of these two types of housing.
Results: Results based on library studies and comparative method through conceptual and physical characteristics of indigenous housing and plexus housing in the form of physical, social and climatic indicators and analysis and evaluation of the desired characteristics after classification in the form of relevant components and criteria, interrelationship, relevance and compliance Design features in indigenous housing architecture and Plex housing as a contemporary model in the design of new housing.
Conclusion: The results show that there is a close interaction between Plex housing design criteria and indigenous housing in hot and dry climates, and this type of housing can be used as a new form of climate-related architectural housing and to link with past architecture in responding to the environment and creating housing. Stable useful, followed by the revival of indigenous housing architecture in contemporary architecture.
