This study investigates innovative approaches in the works of contemporary Iranian architects, focusing specifically on Jahangir Darvish, and analyzes how several of his projects influence urban resistance and resilience to discuss architectural sustainability on a broader scale. The research adopts an analytical-descriptive method within an interpretive paradigm. It is qualitative in nature and applied for a purpose. Information gathering relies on documentary and library sources, with the inclusion of current reports and field data such as interviews and records. Given the aims and questions, the study employs content analysis and inductive reasoning to explain the criteria and factors affecting the subject, and utilizes the fuzzy Delphi method in participatory decision-making to articulate the final indicators. A panel of 15 elites and experts was formed to evaluate the seven final factors. These indicators are presented within a conceptual model and are analyzed through two case studies of Darvish’s work: the Benz Museum building in Italy and Fame City in the United States. The findings indicate that both projects significantly contribute to the development of resilient spaces and urban sustainability. They align with principles of flexibility and contribute to reducing the impacts of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and high winds. The study concludes that innovative approaches—including digital technologies, smart materials, additive manufacturing, and contemporary design practices—offer effective solutions to emerging environmental challenges and human crises within the urban future.
