by following the certain styles and considering the buildings typology.
Building techniques in every group of architectural monuments have particular
styles and can be extended to all buildings belonging to a group. Goal of the research is to identify the properties of building techniques in design of
historical monuments in Arak from Qajar period including roof structure,
