摘要

Understanding the rise and fall of streets necessitates an in-depth comprehension of culture and economy, which are the key factors shaping and developing a street’s identity. The purpose of this research is to investigate the cultural-economic aspects of the historic Lalehzar Street in the metropolis of Tehran and to present an architectural model to prevent the increasing erosion of the rich heritage of this street and its increasing stagnation during certain hours of the night through an architectural model based on the Culture-Economic Factor (CEF) which is carried out through the Adaptive Reuse (AR) strategy. Data collection involved qualitative methods, starting with face-to-face questionnaires distributed to 120 local business owners, complemented by in-depth observations from three case studies. The questionnaire responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis, while the observational data were compared to Jane Jacobs’ diversity theory. Results indicate that 1) cinema-store, theater-store, and cafe-store models can significantly alleviate the nighttime street stagnation by attracting crowds from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM. 2) The Argo Building demonstrates this success, drawing 160 to 180 visitors at all hours, benefiting local businesses through mixed-use combinations. This pattern was acknowledged by Laleh-Zar’s businessmen. This study proposes an innovative architectural model based on diversity theory and AR strategies to combat urban stagnation without previous examples, offering a unique method for integrating cultural and economic functions. It serves as a valuable resource for architects and urban planners and can aid municipalities in urban regeneration, especially in historic areas like the centre of Tehran.
