Vernacular architecture is the product of the interaction between local residents and the nature in
geographical area which results in unique achievements in providing physical, mental and intellectual
needs of human. Vernacular architecture of Bushehr has provided considerable strategies in accordance
with the micro ecosystem in its multilayers cultural link. Understanding these strategies can provide ideas
for applying in architectural design. One of the ideas was formed intimation in the hot and humid climate
of this city. This principle was very important in some architectural places like Girls› schools. Having
contact to the outdoor area, especially for the girl students, who have a low contact because of living in
apartment, is very effective in terms of physical, mental and intellectual growth. Therefore, intimation,
through increasing the feeling of belonging to the environment, can improve the satisfaction level of
girl students to the school which finally improve their creativity. Intimation of schools is considered as
providing conditions through architecture and regulations, so that girl students can study in open, semiopen,
semi-closed and closed areas of the school more freely and in accordance to the Islamic dress code.
This has been considered in the document of fundamental transformation of education and here it has been
emphasized on the observance of intimation sentences in the considered area. The purpose of this study is
to show the manner of intimating in the schools of Bushehr regarding to the four psychological, cultural,
religious, and educational needs. So this study, with emphasizing on intimation in vernacular architecture
of Bushehr, and achieving cultural strategies of intimation in climatic architecture of Bushehr, proposes
this question: How intimation is manifested in the vernacular architecture of the city of Bushehr? The main
strategy for answering this question is a qualitative investigation which has been used for developing the
framework of the research; for collecting data it has been used from literature studies, scientific databases
and observation methods, and, qualitative analysis has been used for analyzing the data.
Findings of this study shows that intimation in the vernacular architecture of Bushehr has been provided
in three scales of micro, middle and macro scales. Intimation in micro-scale refers to the single elements of the building in the vernacular architecture of Bushehr which has been manifested either in the internal
aspect (internal space) or in the external aspect (space); these elements in the vernacular architecture of
Bushehr include «Shanashir», «Tarmeh», «roof and pre-roof», «sashes and openings», «Parasol», «shelter
balcony» and «windows». Each of these elements, in addition to their main function, has been applied in
design, components, and connections so that they help for making intimation of internal spaces. Intimation
in the middle scale refers to the plan typology and combining of the mass and the space; this study shows
that, based on the combination of mass and space (the building and the yard) in the vernacular architecture of
Bushehr, and regarding to the position of the building to the historic walls of the city, and also regarding to the
introvert and extrovert aspects, two main kinds of floor plan arrangements can be identified: the first kind is
the buildings enclosing courtyard: introvert-extrovert (within the historical walls of the city); the second one is
building without courtyard including row building(s) inside the yard: extrovert (outside the historical walls of
the city). In the macro-scale, forming intimation in the vernacular architecture of Bushehr was affected by the
location of the building which has considered the opportunities, threats, strength and weakness points of the
building regarding creating intimation; this factor has been considered in terms of adjacency. In another words,
based on the neighborhood, it has been determined that at the first stage which plan arrangements including
extrovert-introvert and extrovert types, and also which plan types including courtyard, or row buildings, or
combination of them, should be applied, and in the second stage, the manner of combining the mass and the
space has been determined.
Furthermore, the methods of applying the strategies of intimation in the vernacular architecture of Bushehr have
been provided in three scales of micro, middle and macro. It seems that updating the historical patterns, which
has been considered and proposed in text and image through this study, can be a proper and referable model
for planners and architects of schools, especially of city of Bushehr. Therefore, it is suggested that planners
of education spaces on the one hand, and architects on the other hand, through studying considered patterns
in this study, to create multi-functions and flexible spaces in accordance with climate desirability to provide
refreshing and productive spaces for the education of the next generation of the country in accordance with the
Islamic-Iranian patterns, in addition to rehabilitate and to continue historical patterns. Achievements obtained
through this study can be a good ground for the next researches with the purpose of extracting intimation
patterns of schools in other areas, especially with similar climate to Bushehr. It is hoped that a comprehensive
guide for creating intimate schools will be provided.
