Aims: Architecture as one of the ways to create a work, while using art, is a combination of thought and technology. What sets an architectural work apart from other works is that it is more valuable than providing shelter; In other words, in addition to the functional aspect, it also expresses the characteristic of beauty and higher transcendent concepts. This type of architecture, as a valuable heritage, has the ability to remain in history and the role of technology in the production of such heritage has always been one of the influential parameters. When an architectural design is formed as a special work of art, it is affected by the technology and it has become symbolic in this state. The purpose of this study is to investigate this secondary aspect of technology and its role in the production of heritage of contemporary architecture.
Methods: The research is Combined and uses a Grounded Theory. Through descriptive-analytical methods, by examining the heritage of contemporary architecture as well as the aspects of the effects of technology and its role, the factors affecting architecture have been analyzed
Findings: Examining the identity samples of contemporary architecture as a lasting heritage with different geographical distribution shows that jointly the characteristics of form, function and beauty in the areas of formal configuration, spatial organization and facade composition can be analyzed and compared.
Conclusion: The nature of the architecture of funds at the intersection of art, science, technique, depending on the time and the context has been changed and the creation of a lasting architectural heritage has depended on the level of technological advancement of its time.

Aims: The yard has played a much more prominent role than ever. After the changes in the structure of the community, the house and yard changed. The present study investigates these changes and the reasons for their occurrence during the contemporary period.

Methods: The data collection is a documentary.

Findings: The results of the study indicate that in the past, the yard has been an organized element to the home, an element of light and ventilation of the spaces, a connector with nature, and providing a convenient space for family comfort and celebration. But the yard’s role today is merely the space between the house and the passage, the car movement, and sometimes the small gardens to make optimal use of the remaining areas of the motorway.

Conclusion: Due to society's changing social and cultural structures, resurrecting the same way traditional courtyard for today's society is in vain. The same traditional courtyards in the new urban design where the houses are overlapped have been changed to roof gardens that need to be in sight. These changes can be attributed to the developments in the Qajar era. Given these developments, the relationships and assumptions of the world of tradition were not capable of living in the contemporary world. All in all, modern man’s environmental perceptions changed. As the most relevant space to man, the house has undergone significant changes, and the yard, one of its most important spaces, has not been immune to these changes.

Aims: Emerging technology is a part of the international identity of contemporary architecture. Architectural algorithms as a practical tool have influenced modern designs. The aim of the research is to reformulate future architecture through examination of the visual, form and functional characteristics of buildings. Achieving the goal of the research requires creating a theoretical framework for the role of emerging technologies and determining the levels and mechanisms of their application to form the identity of highperformance architecture.

Methods: The research methodology is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods with a theorization approach and exploratory survey of examples of projects that have been influenced by emerging technologies. The results have been analyzed based on three-way analysis, Likert scale and using SPSS statistical software.

Findings: The main indicators investigated in the research have an effective role with an impact rate of 40 to 100 percent. The obtained numerical results indicate the confirmation of research hypotheses and the necessity of a designerly approach to highperformance architecture.

Conclusion: The results of the research emphasize the capacity of emerging technologies in interaction with contextual identity. The results concluded in the significance of highlighting the Islamic Iranian identity of the country as a field for realizing the highperformance architecture theory. The conclusion of the research shows that a designerly approach to highperformance architecture is a prerequisite to interaction between context and emerging technologies. Islamic Iranian identity should be seen as a scene for visioning the future architecture and the architecture of the future.
