Factors Affecting Architecture Styles
After the climatic conditions, political and security issues are the factors of creation of regions.
When the country was unrest, Evaz as other cities of Iran became like a castle. The city was enclosed within a fence fortified with towers and ramparts. To ensure the security of the city, the
wall had been put up with several gates and guards with special defenses. Moreover, in order to
further strengthen the two fences surrounding ditch and water was launched between the ditches (Karamati 1953:32-22).
Economic factors are another reason of formation of structures in architecture of ancient cities. In
any society, political peace with the support of craftsmen and artists, i.e. talented people, will lead
to economic growth. Creation of Gheisarie Bazar, shopping centers, caravanserais inside and out
of the city and develops of pathw ays has straight impacts on creation of contexture of old city.
Impact of religion is obvious in observing tombs and holy shrines, which has been developed duration of time. These tombs are belonging to outstanding spiritual personalities; in the past time
of history, it was an attractive place for people to visit and observe religious ceremony. Taste of
Board of Governors and Influential personalities is another impact on architecture and structure
of old textures in each place (Kamal 1999:54).
Architecture of Evaz have inspired by many factors as mentioned earlier. During the history, some
changes occurred that affected the city. Evazi people who are living in the Gulf region and who
are interested in righteous support most of the peoples’ needs.
