In recent decades, women in Iran have had significant activities in the field of architecture. A review of the famous female architects design in Iran and the world shows their attention to the socio-cultural values of the society. Considering the importance of social-cultural sustainability goals in architectural design in order to promote social development and cultural identity of the society, this research aims to achieve these goals in female Iranian architects designs due to their special attention to social-cultural values. Furthermore, studying and analyzing the selected works of these architects with a sustainable approach can be an effective step in recognizing and solving socio-cultural problems. The present article aims to study the residential works of Iranian female architects who won the "Memar Award", the most prestigious Iranian architectural award, between 2010 and 2020 from the perspective of socio-cultural sustainability. The research method of this paper is descriptive-analytical based on library resources. In this research, while knowing the parameters of socio-cultural sustainability, their characteristics are compared with selected houses. The results show that the selected houses are all designed based on the criteria and parameters of socio-cultural sustainability with an emphasis on social justice, social security, localism and coordination to their context. By the analysis the mentioned socio-cultural features in selected cases, the architects can find the strategies in designing to achieve the sustainable development goals.
