Designing the Nations Cultural Trade Gateway in the Bushehr city with a Vernacular Approach.

Abstract

Relying on the concept of trade at all its aspects, this complex attempts to create a cultural-recreational center at the border between the historical and new areas of Bushehr, making educational, research and cultural opportunities and increasing knowledge of native people, tourists and enthusiasts about culture of this city. Although hot and humid climate of the city causes a lot of limitations in design, it can be considered as an appropriate driver for the ecology-specific design. Utilizing climatic solutions and diverse functions, this complex has been designed in such a way to be usable within the all seasons of the year, compared to other similar buildings in this climate.
