The Role of Age in Understanding the Components of Tradition and Modernism in University Buildings in Tehran

Tradition and modernism as a concept also follow the same thing, but there may be differences in the effect of each indicator due to the difference of groups in the type of view of the past and the future. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the components of the modernism tradition in the age groups (20-30), (30-40), (40-50) and (50-60). For this purpose, first, the components in the tradition of modernism are extracted from the review literature. Then to verify them, Kendall's w coefficient is used. In the next step, a questionnaire based on the Likert scale is distributed among space users. The research method in this research is a qualitative and quantitative combination. The results show that among the age groups of 20-30 and 30-40, the correlation drops to an incredible extent, which can almost be said that they do not fully explain each other's behavior. In the age groups of 20-30 and 50-60, the correlation value is low. In the age group of 30-40 and 40-50, the correlation value is low. In the age group of 30-40 and 50-60, the value of correlations has increased slightly. But the correlation between the indices of tradition and modernism obtained in the age groups of 40-50 and 60-50 is high. According to the fit obtained from the step-by-step regression model of age groups, due to the increase in data, only age groups (50-60 and 50-40) and (20-30 and 40-30) can predict each other.
