The historical urban fabrics of Iran are increasingly threatened by contemporary construction practices that often neglect the principles of Iranian-Islamic architecture. As a result, the cultural and spatial identity of these areas is gradually diminishing. This research investigates the principle of "compatibility" as a design strategy for integrating advanced construction technologies into historic contexts through infill housing. Focusing on the historic core of Yazd, which UNESCO recognizes for its unique desert architecture and the continuity of its cultural traditions, the study employs an applied, descriptive methodology. Based on the 2021 census, 10,795 households reside in the area. Using proportional stratified random sampling and Morgan's table, 384 household heads across nine districts were selected for survey distribution. Data collected through questionnaires and interviews revealed multiple factors critical to compatible infill development, including transportation systems, street morphology, proportional harmony, visual coherence, building scale, spatial continuity, land use organization, construction speed, economic feasibility, aesthetic integration, and value preservation. Factor analysis grouped these into three principal dimensions: aesthetics (mean score of 3.49), cost (3.32), and speed (3.45). The findings emphasize the need for context-responsive design approaches that reconcile modern construction demands with the preservation of heritage values. By offering empirical insights and a structured framework for assessing compatibility in historic environments, this study contributes to the discourse on sustainable urban regeneration. It provides architects, planners, and policymakers with criteria to guide infill housing strategies that maintain architectural integrity while addressing contemporary urban needs.

The impact of the connection between education duration and course presentation method on the learning rate of graduates has always been a debatable issue within an integrated holistic or as separate and parallel components. One concrete experience can be seen in the transformation process of the architecture education system since 1999 by changing the degree from a contiguous master's to a bachelor's degree. This mixed research aims to examine the effect of two long-term (contiguous master's degrees) and short-term (bachelor's degrees) on the creativity of architecture graduates. The quantitative data were collected through a Creativity questionnaire by Abedi. For this purpose, 30 graduates of architecture contiguous master's degrees (MSc) and 30 graduates of bachelor's degrees (BA) from the Azad University of Tabriz filled out these questionnaires. The analysis of quantitative data was done through the independent two-sample t-test using SPSS software. Qualitative data were analyzed through grounded theory. The results indicate that long-term architecture education using the mixed method is dynamic and targeted education since it improves the creativity of architects. When an architecture student has high levels of creativity, s/he will be able to find unique design solutions and, therefore, determine their design path and achieve a desirable design by choosing the right concept and idea. According to the studies, if students are taught architectural design with an appropriate teaching method, such as a combined teaching method, their academic creativity can be enhanced.
