In fact, with MoreThe Historic fabrics of cities have particular importance with evidences of the life style of people and cultural and social values. Exhaustion and destruction caused by natural and human factors leads to the creation of empty fields in historical fabrics. In fact, with the exhaustion of historical textures and lack of living needs, the original inhabitants of these tissues are forced to migrate and provide further damage. This necessitates the design of a new structure in these fields in order to restore their formal and functional character. Undoubtedly, the construction of new buildings is one of the essential factors for meeting the needs of residents and improving their living standards. They can include new necessary modern functions or infrastructures to support the life of inhabitants of historic quarters. But if the appropriate approach is not adopted in this field, irreparable damage will be inflicted on the body of the historical texture and historical image of the city. Therefore, designing and constructing new buildings, in the light of the design principles, can contribute preserve the values of the historic urban areas. It can be an opportunity for development and physical and functional revitalization of historical texture. New buildings constructed in historical fabrics, are called ‘Infill’ and in this sense that they are constructed within the existing fabric and emerge in empty fields, certain principles must be respected in the design to avoid damages to fabric authenticity and values of adjacent buildings. Design new collections with a view to driving the development of these contexts will help to restore their social and economic dynamics. These complexes are called driver development buildings. This paper aims to propose and principles and strategies which leads to models of design of new buildings in the historical fabrics so that the buildings can contribute to a more dynamic historical context, causing their physical and functional renewal and are actually driving development. Of course, these instructions are not constant in all cases, but they are comprehensive and can be adapted to the specifics of the field and can be used in a variety of situations. The purpose is to explore how good design in historic fabric is achieved. There is not one correct answer or approach of course, but there are ways of thinking and working which increase the likelihood of success. In this regard, firstly, the definitions related to the topic, and ways to encourage development are expressed and then, with the introduction of general methods and rules for infill design, guidelines for designing a new structure and driving the development of historical fabric are expressed and finally factors that need to be considered in order to achieve this goal are presented in the diagram. The desired outcome is the high quality design of new buildings and spaces in historic fabrics by considering these guidelines. Manuscript profile
