2 Abstract: Diverse climate in our country, Iran, has led to different architectural styles and construction in different areas. In order to provide spaces for human comfort, using artistic ways in application of these native materials has left proper structures which are unique. To create spaces for comfort according to the current climate of environment needs to selecting the method of construction and using the natural materials. In other words, material is a foundation which according to climate leads us to proper construction method and all of these provided a comfortable space for human life in related climate. Geographical location and conditions, traditional construction methods, new construction techniques and considering the biological region has led to the different types of construct methods in different regions of Iran according to the different climate. Designing buildings in every climatic zone has been undoubtedly influenced by the natural environmental factors and the regional climate. Designing regions are compared based on the relationship of climatic conditions with used synthetic and domestic (regional) materials in buildings in different climates. Four types of regions with designs related to the construction of buildings are studied and reviewed based on the four climates considering the characteristics related to the climate. According to importance of sustainability of buildings in recent times, this paper can be useful for this aim.
