The indigenous ( or the clay) architecture of Iran is a unique architectural genre characterized by the use of mud-bricks\u003cbr\u003eas well as dome-like roofs for the ceilings. Traditional tiles and tile-works, furthermore, are used for the interior and exterior decorations of the buildings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany features of the indigenous (or clay) architecture are present in Yazd City, such as Yazd's \u003ci\u003e Jam'a \u003c\/i\u003eMosque, (c.
