The conservation of industrial heritage, gradually ingrained in our current urban fabric, is of the highest importance due to the containing valuable information about the science and technology of its time, and its architectural characteristics are not only of aesthetic value but also forms a part of urban identity. The objective of this article is to propose an effective process for analyzing the architectural traits of industrial heritage with the application of the hybrid methods of typology and analytical shape grammar. The article paradigm is emancipatory research, following a descriptive- analytical methodology and with library studies, it firstly studies the theoretical foundation relating to the methods of architectural analyses. Then with the typology method, it determines the sub-criterion for analyzing the case studies, among the Isfahan and Yazd textile factories of Pahlavi dynasty. Finally, the generative and constructive rules of case studies are extracted with the analytical shape grammar method. This research achievement, in addition to the architectural analyses of case studies, is the representation of a process of hybrid methods providing the means of recognition and succinct qualitativequantitative analyses of industrial heritage. This process can be applied in procedural modeling, and historic building information modeling, and also provides an appropriate context of future research in computational methods of evaluating industrial heritage.
