Abstract :

The changes caused by this way of thinking have led to the creation of a style of behavior and lifestyle that changes every day and considers it fashion. The opinion of those who adopt this line of thinking is that the traditions that have been practiced for many years are obsolete and repetitive. Unaware of the fact that the tradition is receptive to the changes of every age and has the ability to align with the current developments and mix in them. Architecture in the Mazandaran region has always had a special style and style for many years, and at the same time, it was full of formal and meaningful beauty and logical and proportionate creativity. But in today s era, by abandoning this correct process and introducing western architecture to new constructions, an unfamiliar face of a mixed urban space is presented to us, which creates a feeling of anxiety and restlessness to the residents.
