Ecological restoration of historical monuments (With a Focus on the Restoration of Chogha Zanbil)

Ecological restoration emerges as a viable and effective method for preserving the historical-cultural authenticity of ancient monuments, as demonstrated by its application at Tchogha Zanbil. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its unique earthen ziggurat structure, serves as a case study showcasing how ecological restoration can maintain architectural integrity while fostering cultural connections between past and present. The research employs a descriptive-analytical approach combined with field observations to evaluate the potential of this method in safeguarding historical structures. Findings highlight that ecological restoration not only preserves the religious and cultural significance of Tchogha Zanbil but also strengthens the relationship between its architectural space and surrounding environmental elements, offering a sustainable model for heritage conservation.
