Abstract: (55 Views)
To date, at various levels, infill strategies have primarily addressed proportions in larger-scales and historical contexts; however, the proportional relationship between a new adjacent building and an individual historic structure has remained overlooked. In other words, new structures have lost their proportional coexistence with the values of older buildings. Within the infill approach, any new structure inevitably affects the surrounding valuable buildings and perceives itself not in confrontation with, but in meaningful dialogue with the older structure. Neglecting this issue leads to visual disharmony in the overall urban image and gradually diminishes the identity of the valuable building.
The aim of this research is to understand the new architectural structure compatible with existing structures. and seeks to answer the question: which dimension of proportion is more influential in infill design? To this end, after reviewing the research background and literature, the component of proportions was extracted from the set of scales in infill strategies and investigated across four general criteria: “physical proportions”, “functional proportions”, “human proportions” , and “aesthetic proportions”. Then, using multi‑criteria decision‑making methods (AHP and TOPSIS), data obtained from 15 questionnaires completed by specialists, experts, and professors of architecture and restoration were analyzed. Through a descriptive–analytical approach, the degree of influence of proportional dimensions in infill design was determined.
Ultimately, “functional proportions”, with a final weight of (0.131), were identified as the most effective design strategy for new structures adjacent to heritage buildings (case study: Rasht Flour Milling Factory). From the perspective of this study, the alignment between the function and program of the new building and that of the heritage structure plays a crucial role in the success of an infill design.
