Abstract

Background and contextualism in traditional Iranian architecture are one of its inseparable features. However, in the contemporary era after the emergence of modernism in the West, attention to the field intensified. One of the types of contextualism is climate contextualism, which pays special attention to climate strategies. Iran has different climatic regions, so each region creates its climate. This climatic context has greatly contributed to the sustainability of old buildings and cities. Lahijan Akbariyeh Mosque is one of the traditional Iranian buildings that was built during the Qajar period. In the name of this mosque, like the nave of the hot and dry mosques of the country, the inner roof of the building has an arch and a dome. Meanwhile, the climatic background of Lahijan is sloping due to heavy rainfall. The question is what ventilation in the internal form of the roof of Akbarieh Mosque in Lahijan has to do with the characteristics of the climatic background? What is the positive or negative role of this roof form in interior ventilation? This article states with a descriptive-analytical method that the internal form of the roof of Akbarieh Mosque in Lahijan in terms of internal ventilation does not follow the principles of climatic contextualism in the Gilan region and also does not have a negative impact on the process of internal ventilation.
