Abstract: (21 Views) |
Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate and identify the typology of physical housing spaces in the Central Zagros region, with special emphasis on the effects of early settlements in this area. This research seeks to answer the question of how spatial and structural patterns of housing throughout history have been influenced by the ancient settlements of the Central Zagros and what elements of these settlements are still visible in the contemporary housing architecture of the region. The main goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between the history, culture, and vernacular architecture of the region and to provide suggestions for preserving and revitalizing this heritage in housing design.
Method: To achieve the research goal, first, sufficient information about the region was collected from offices and library resources; if the classification of this information led to the understanding of the context of the researched region; then, by collecting field information including observations, images, sketches, oral interviews with experienced people, collecting questionnaires among literate people, and also using Google Earth software, spatial information for each sample was obtained. Also, in the final summary, the introduction of microspaces and the analysis of selected housing samples using SMART DRAW software were discussed.
Results: After collecting the desired information and specifying the criteria, 16 housing samples were selected from 16 villages in the region, and in each sample, spatial relationships, including the orientation of the sample, livelihood space, service space, living space, slope of the sample location, and the number of households living in each sample, were examined.
Conclusions:The results of this study show that rural houses in the region were influenced by early settlements. Also, the presence of circular spaces or rectangular spaces with rounded corners and local materials of wood and stone, and the depression of part of the building into the slope indicate that these spaces were influenced by early human settlements in this region, such as caves and dugouts. |
