The aim of this article is to discuss the similarities and differences of sustainable methods implemented in traditional architecture in different zones of Azerbaijan, in terms of the effect of climatic factors. The literature review was conducted to reveal similar research studies of neighboring countries as well as the countries with similar climate profile.
