Evaluation of physical and spatial concepts of residential buildings

One of the achievements of spatial syntax techniques for analyzing the spatial relationships of buildings is the drawing of explanatory diagrams. The purpose of this study is to show how to use the space arrangement technique in analyzing the special architectural relationships of traditional and modern houses in Tabriz. In this study, it is assumed that the spatial configuration of the house, which had continuity until the early Pahlavi period, has changed since the end of this period, and the continuity in the existing spatial configuration before this time has disappeared in later periods. This in itself can affect the culture and behavioral system of residents. The purpose of this study is to investigate the amount of spatial value in different spaces of the house, which ultimately leads to the discovery of socio-cultural logic governing the spaces in question. In order to test the hypotheses of the research, five houses from each period were selected as case samples. The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical and using two quantitative and qualitative strategies, the possibilities of the socio-cultural logic of space were described. In the quantitative method, the space syntax software (Ucl depth map) was used and in the qualitative method, the three indicators of "depth", "interconnection" and "relationship" were used. The results showed that socio-cultural relations had profound effects on the physical structure and spatial configuration of traditional houses in Tabriz.
