Abstract

The village of Hajij, with its stepped appearance, has different and valuable examples of traditional house patterns in its context. However, becoming a tourist village and constructing new buildings has caused a structure that is contrary to local architecture to appear, in a way that will change the appearance of the village in the coming years.

The present research was formed in the context of library studies and field observations and using a descriptive-analytical method. Recognizing and preserving the useful methods and approaches of building construction in contrast or in conjunction with topography in the local and stepped architecture of Hajij village and examining the factors of privacy or nobility in the architecture of traditional houses in this village are essential for writing this research, so that its results can be examined as an effective option in the design and construction of new buildings in the village. Therefore, this research seeks to provide answers to the relationship between the role of topography on the form of residential houses and the expression of extroversion or introversion of houses in Hajij village.

The results showed that the shape of the mountain and the slope of the building site have caused three types of buildings to form in this village in terms of their location on the mountainside and their relationship with the land, and have paved the way for the formation of stepped architecture. On the other hand, the use of the roofs of houses as courtyards and the nobility of the residents on the roofs of neighboring houses, as well as the stepped form of the village, the layout of the building's interior space, the height of the ledge under the windows, and the shape of the windows have caused extroversion and introversion to be among the characteristics of the houses in this village.
