چکیده:
Earth-Shelter construction is one of the aspects in architecture where the thermal mass of the earth behind the outer walls are applied in order to reduce heat loss and keep the internal temperature at human comfort range. In case of earth-shelter buildings, housing is especially important. As for its applicability the earth-shelter provides good housing. Typological studies of earth-shelter construction in Iran by introduces various Iranian examples of this type, could be a model for the today’s innovative designs with an approach to energy saving. This type of construction responded to human comfort requirements when modernism was absent to claim that it could do the same through mechanical technology. The study method adopted here consists of qualitative-descriptive and deductive analyses. The categories of earth-shelter architecture are three worldwide: Earth Mound, Rocky or In-Hill and Bellow ground. Here the genotype of earth architecture and phenotype of earth-shelter are studied in details. The same is of two in Iran: Rocky, which is divided in continues and discontinues types and closed underground type. Studies conducted in Iran have revealed a new type of these structures named Combined Continues Rocky open Underground by the author.

Typological studies conducted in Iran on earth-sheltered architecture introduces various examples of this type, which could be considered as a model for today’s innovative designs with respect to energy saving.
Rocky Earth-Sheltered structues: Here the structure is built on the mountain or hill slopes and in their modern and optimized models their orientation is towards the equator in order to utilize the solar energy.
The two main types of earth shelter structures: underground with central yard (Fig. 4) and rocky earth shelter structure serve as dwellings.
The earth sheltered rocky dwelling complex in Grome valley, Cappadocia, Turkey is one of the first residential areas in the region.

The main issue of discussion here in accordance with the defined criteria in architecture with respect to residential structures involves the two types of underground and rocky earth-sheltered architecture in Iran.
In general, the various types of earth- sheltered structures in Iran could be continued and discontinued rocky and closed underground types.
