Providing scenarios of the “home” metaphor in the modern style of urban life based on CLA method

“Home” as one of the main components of urban lifestyle has long been considered by different scholars, but the metaphor of “home” and its changes in adaptation to the new style of urban life is an issue that, despite its importance, has been researched little. We, Iranians, still live alongside the modern style of urban life with elements and attachments of the traditional style and adhere to many of our traditional values. However, imitation of the past will be futile as far as eradicating it. It seems that to preserve the ideas of Iranian housing, before coming to the future, it is necessary to identify possible scenarios based on different metaphors from the house and to map properly the subject literature, along with the underlying deconstruction and deeper investigation of the issue. The present study whit Future Oriented Approach by Causal Layered Analysis in four layers of analysis including litany, social causes, discourse/worldview and myth/metaphor, together with the identification of alternative futures, attempts to scenario, based on metaphors, and consequently, alternative discourses from the “home” and provides unified and evolutionary scenarios based on the metaphor of “home” in the future of cities. CLA was used by semi-structured interviews to identify the main themes of the analysis at the level of specialists related to the topic. According to the findings, four scenarios were presented in relation to the concept of home and the creation of alternative futures that include smart home, home as a digital cloud, human home and movable home.
