Abstract
Since the late 20th century, global awareness of environmental crisis have presented new ecological ideas from various disciplines including architecture, and we have made efforts to fulfill the conflicting values of sustainable development and overcoming the ecological crisis which are difficult to co-exist. 'Sustainability' is a systematic and comprehensive notion involved in the continuity of environmental, economical, and social aspects of human society. Current issues of 'Sustainability' seek only the technical basis values and focused only on the energy reduction. 'Sustainable architecture' is distinguished to limited meanings of 'environmentally friendly architecture', 'eco-friendly architecture', or 'green architecture'. Sustainable architecture involves a combination of values : aesthet4ic, environmental, social, political, and moral. It's about using one's imagination and technical knowledge to engage in central aspect of the practice - designing and building in harmony with our environment. The international standards of modernism have severed relationships between traditional or vernacular and contemporary architecture. It also caused extinction of traditional culture and its eco-technics. This thesis researches new regionalism of contemporary architecture which is based on vernacular architecture however, seeking the casual relationships between vernacular and contemporary architecture based on vernacular architecture.
