Background and Objectives:
The building of the Faculty of Art and Architecture of Persian Gulf University, Bushehr, is an infill design created to revive the historical fabric of this region. Open and semi-open spaces in the historical buildings of Bushehr are influential and impressive elements in the region’s architecture. By examining these elements in the buildings, it is possible to identify the architectural patterns of the region.
This research aims to familiarize oneself with the approaches of native architecture in the open and semi-open spaces of the historical fabric of Bushehr and to discuss how to preserve these patterns in today’s architecture and urban planning. In this regard, this research deals with the comparative comparison of differences and similarities in the architecture of open and semi-open spaces in vernacular examples of the historical fabric and examples inspired by it.
This article not only deals with the physical description of open and semi-open spaces in the architecture of Bushehr’s historical buildings and infill architecture but also tries to analyze and compare each of these spaces. The questions raised in the research are as follows:

This article not only deals with the physical description of open and semi-open spaces in the architecture of Bushehr’s historical buildings and infill architecture but also tries to analyze and compare each of these spaces. The questions raised in the research are as follows:
- What are the differences and similarities in the open and semi-open spaces of Bushehr historical buildings and the new building of the Faculty of Art and Architecture of the Persian Gulf?
- In what areas was the building of the Faculty of Art and Architecture able to follow the pattern of open and semi-open spaces of Bushehr’s historical fabric?
Methodes:
The present research was conducted in a qualitative and descriptive-analytical way and studied 10 examples of historic buildings of Bushehr with the intermediate building of the Faculty of Art and Architecture of the Persian Gulf. library studies have been conducted in order to organize the research literature, examine the background of the subject and study the historical architecture of Bushehr, and field studies using interviews and observations have been used to examine the study samples.
Findings:
In general, by examining the historical monuments of Bushehr and the Faculty building, it can be stated that: The designers of the Faculty of Arts and Architecture have followed similar patterns of local architecture of Bushehr’s historical fabric. These patterns are mostly in the functional and geometric part and to some extent in terms of the orientation of open and semi-open spaces. These elements have been able to create a function similar to the spaces of the historical mansion of Bushehr, but in terms of some external features such as the use of materials, proportions, as well as executive details, they have displayed a newer and more modern form of open and semi-open space elements which can be said to be due to the change of use and change of materials and their updating.
Conclusion:
In general, the investigations showed that:

Conclusion:
In general, the investigations showed that:
- The differences in the open and semi-open spaces of the investigated buildings are mostly related to material components and, in some cases, orientation. The similarities are more related to geometric and functional components.
- In terms of following texture patterns, open spaces, in terms of geometry and orientation, and semi-open spaces, in terms of geometry and functionality, have the highest degree of conformity with historical texture patterns.
The results of the investigations more specifically for each of the research components and open and semi-open micro-spaces are as follows:
Open spaces in historical buildings, such as courtyards and eaves, have also been used in the infill building of the Faculty.
This research differs from previous research in the following ways:

This research differs from previous research in the following ways:
- It was carried out in the historical fabric of Bushehr, an area where infill architecture has not been studied previously.
- This research examined contemporary architecture derived from open and semi-open spaces while examining the patterns of the historical fabric.
