The impact of culture on home spatial structure pattern using space syntax approach (case study two-bedroom homes of 70'S, 80'S and 90'S decades in tehran)

The influence of culture on architecture has been investigated through various methodologies so far. In the present research, space syntax methodology, a quantitative approach, is selected based on logical reasoning and modeling. The methodology relies on collecting case studies of two-bedroom apartments which are mostly owned by the middle class society of Tehran and are found in abundance in the city. The finding of this research is four proposed indexes including interaction, hospitability, non-overlook entrance and hierarchy. The result demonstrates that interaction and privacy in the entrance space has risen during the course of time while hierarchy and segregation of public and private spaces have undergone a decline. Employing the cases which possess all four indexes, one is able to come up with solutions to boost these values in the contemporary architecture. Such solutions are made up of: creating nodes in the entrance space, increasing terraces, creating interface spaces and nodes between private and public spaces, separating public and private space
