Comparative Analysis of Relations and Comparative Analysis of Relations and Arrangement (Syntax) of Space in the Perception of Spatial Configuration of Housing in Iranian Houses (Case Study: Pahlavi and Contemporary Houses in Urmia)

Abstract

The aim of this research is the comparative analysis of relationships and arrangement (syntax) of space in the perception of the spatial configuration of housing in Pahlavi period and contemporary houses in Urmia city. The present research method, due to the extraction of measurable and quantifiable criteria, is a combination of quantitative and qualitative strategies, which was carried out by syntactic analysis of six examples of house plans of the Pahlavi period and contemporary plans of Urmia. The findings of the research show that the spatial depth in the contemporary plans is more than the relative depth of the three plans of the Pahlavi period. The amount of connection in contemporary plans is low, in the sense that these buildings are dense. The spaces in the three sets of the Pahlavi period have a higher connection and in the three samples of the plan of the contemporary period, the difference between the spaces and the system is more. The spaces in the three sets of the Pahlavi period have a higher connection and in the three examples of the plan of the contemporary period, the difference between the spaces and the system is greater, and the level of control of the entire set in the 6 study samples is almost at the same level, except for the example of the contemporary plan 1, which has a higher level of control.
