Abstract: (3503 Views)

The Qariha Historical House is a surviving structure from the Mozaffari era in the city of Yazd, reflecting transformations across various historical periods. This building, along with other structures from the same era, holds significant value due to its association with the golden age of Ilkhanid art and architecture, making it a compelling subject for multidisciplinary studies within the field of conservation science. To mitigate the deterioration of its structural elements and address existing damage, a series of conservation and restoration interventions have been implemented. These measures include localized foundation reinforcement, restoration and reconstruction of portals, repair and realignment of damaged arches, stabilization of wall layers and coatings, and the clarification of architectural decorative elements. This article aims to provide a comprehensive account of the conservation and restoration efforts undertaken for this historical building.

Keywords: Mozaffari Houses, Adobe Architecture, Conservation and Restoration, Yazd.
