- Abstract
Identifying and recognizing the name of a karbandi especially when visiting real examples in buildings is a difficult job to do using current traditional methods. This paper sets out to introduce a new standard method for naming karbandis according to their main geometrical characteristics. The new standard uses a combination of numbers for this purpose. In this paper, after reviewing and analyzing three main sources on naming Persian karbandis, the new approach is introduced and its application is explained through some examples.
