Abstract

Similarities between cities and buildings in past times is far more than similarities among buildings that are built today. Christopher Alexander believes that the common part, is the morphological identity and have its own characteristics. In this article the correspondence between morphological identity of Bushehr architecture and Alexander’s theory has been studied. The purpose is recognition of Bushehr architecture and its manifestations. In this regard content analysis, spatial Analysis and visual analysis have been used. The research indicates that the Characteristics of morphological identity in ancient buildings, mentioned by Alexander, is seen in Bushehr architecture.
