Abstract

Globalization has made many changes to human life. The radius of these changes is widespread in local culture, and in rural architecture. As the native architecture of the architecture undergoes a change, it is feared that the traditional architecture is going to oblivion and degenerate. Therefore, the study of the process of these developments in order to identify the consequences of it can put forward solutions to officials to prevent the destruction of this multi-century culture that is based on compatibility with the environment. The main purpose of this research was to study the evolution of the rural houses architecture in the last half century in the village of Gultepeh. This research was carried out using ethnographic qualitative research method. Data were collected using observation, semi-structured interviews and photographs, also data were analyzed using Sweet Home 3D software using content analysis and simulation of house architecture. In the findings, a simulated scheme of one of the village houses was presented in four different periods with a summary of the culture of that house. Then, the features of traditional and modern architecture and the implications of each of these architectures were identified. The results of the research showed that globalization has caused rural houses to undergo changes in all periods. Based on the results, the change in the spatial structure of the home has caused changes in performance and behavioral patterns. In such a way that by changing the function of a house, the sector or parts of the structure of that house remain unused. Over time, that section is either assigned to another function or removed from the home structure.
