Due to the geometric and structural capabilities that are evident in karbandi, this structure has been developed in different periods of Iran's history and many species have been isolated from it. The lack of common literature among the few existing resources in the field of drawing karbandies and the specific terms each impedes the understanding of these methods. In this research, first the theoretical (plan and 3D design) geometric data was collected, then, based on the teachings of the traditional master builders and using the previously scattered material a logical order and specific category was created. To do so, various samples were classified and then compared in terms of geometric shape and space usage based on the teachings of traditional master builders and researchers in this field. Therefore, the present research is causal-comparative. Data gathering was done by direct observation, taking pictures of the samples and analysis of library resources and related documents. According to research findings, each of the masters provided their own methodology for the typology of karbandies. In the traditional drawing method of karbandi, the basic step of determining the field of karbandi is based on the shape and proportions of the base. Studying covers that have karbandi shows that formal structure plan is effective on the form of karbandi. This means that on a specific base with a length to width ratio profile special karbandies can be assigned which are affected by various factors. These factors can affect the architect’s style and decision making. Studying karbandi requires a comprehensive look. An attitude that takes into account both structural and form considerations. Karbandies are named and categorized based on the polygonal proportions of the base, the location of the shamseh relative to the sides of the base, the number, the pair or the individual of the sides, the way of placement and interference of the quadrangles of the base, the way of connecting the dividing points on the peripheral circle of the polygon, the base, and etc.
