Abstract

ABSTRACT Bio-complexes (city of cultures) as an environment for living and their relation to culture definitely is not only a simple causation, it is a renewal of bio-culture by a context-oriented approach, which is investigated as the basis for this paper. Following examining and analyzing how to regenerate the bioculture of a society, the current article intends to provide necessary theoretical and study basis for designing a bio-culture complex in Kermanshah by a context-oriented approach.The type of research to achieve the required information in this article is survey-analytical procedure in terms of nature and methods, which by performing library-based research and after formulating a comprehensive guideline to consider the entire infrastructure required for designing a bio-culture complex, finally the designing process of the complex is investigated. As some of the study findings, it could be said that there is a significant relationship between context-oriented approach and analysis of space with the creation of new cultural and vernacular structures in a region with rich culture and tradition, which its impact on the promotion of bio-culture of the region is clearly visible.
