Intervening in environment developed into a kind of business particularly in the past century due to fundamental changes in how life was defined. This resulted in a widespread attack on natural environment. The process formed a new kind of architecture whose criteria is set by the market. However, in opposition to such radical interferences, contextualist tendencies have appeared seeking answers with the least interference possible and relying on passive reactions based on local experiences. Taleghan Town of Tourism is one such experience where an intangible physical answer is given to a very dense programme for how the city should function. This town is designed like a flat garden on a foothill, a concept familiar to Iranian architecture. In its lower layers, spaces are dug into the mountain for a maximum use of space. The residential spaces of the complex are devoid of an outer façade and appear like a stepped garden from the outside. The spaces sit on the upper sections of houses beneath them and have a flat or duplex-triplex arrangement. The roof of each lower house creates a courtyard and open space for the upper house. As such, they return to residences the semi-open spaces that historically constituted a major part of our environmental experience.
