Geometric Data Mining and Shape Grammar of Relationship between House and Islamic Iranian Lifestyle

New technology has already changed our interpretation of Persian house. Theory of integration in the high-performance architecture theory shows that the different elements of Iranian house enjoy unity, despite their differences. The research aims to study the most important elements of Persian house based on Islamic-Iranian life style based on a holistic approach.

The purposive sampling method is developed among the case from the central parts of Iran such as Isfahan, Kashan, Yazd and Ardakan; in order to calculate the area, the module and the period of building the house. Research tool was scientific documentation and survey. The data analysis is based on descriptive-analytical understanding of mathematical space syntax.

Comparison of the principles considered in the selected samples by the syntactic tools of space, showed that these principles always exist in the spatial structure of Iranian housing. Furthermore, the results of the research emphasize on the high-performance architecture theory principles such as: 1- hierarchy, 2- privacy, 3- transparency and 4- centralization.

The spatial structure of Persian house and Iranian housing is a manifestation of the theory of integration, which is arranges around a central courtyard.
