One of the perennial debates in architecture that has had influenced on theoretical and practical architecture design, is its relationship with nature. The relationship between architecture and nature fosters creativity, and depicts the framework of architectural design. This relationship is sometimes expressed in the form of respect for nature, and sometimes openly violatenature.

Today, the interaction with nature is important. Nowadays, the architecture considered as part of the nature that surrounds with and harmony with the environment is one of its main goals, and perhaps the most important goal. It is worth noting that many of the buildings and urban spaces in the central plateau of Iran are very good model for how to interact and adapt to harsh environmental conditions and over time by minimum facilities have been able to provide the best comfort for humans, such as Kashan, Meibod, Ardekan, Meymand, Ardestan and many other central cities of Iran.
