Objective: This paper aims to investigate and identify the typology of physical housing spaces in the Central Zagros region, paying particular attention to the effects of early settlements in this area. The research seeks to answer the following questions: How have the spatial and structural patterns of housing throughout history been influenced by the ancient settlements of the Central Zagros? And which elements of these settlements can still be seen in contemporary housing architecture in the region? The main goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between the region's history, culture and vernacular architecture, and to suggest ways to preserve and revitalise this heritage in housing design.
Method: First, sufficient information about the region was collected from offices and library resources to provide context. Then, field information was collected, including observations, images, sketches, oral interviews with experienced individuals and questionnaires completed by literate individuals. Finally, spatial information for each sample was obtained using Google Earth software. In the final summary, micro spaces were introduced and selected housing samples were analyzed using SMART DRAW software.
Results: After the desired information was collected and the criteria specified, 16 housing samples were selected from 16 villages in the region. In each sample, the following spatial relationships were examined: the orientation of the sample; the livelihood space; the service space; the living space; the slope of the sample location; and the number of households living in each sample.
Conclusions
The results of this study show that rural houses in the region were influenced by early settlements. The presence of circular or rectangular spaces with rounded corners, as well as the use of local materials such as wood and stone, indicates that these spaces were influenced by early human settlements in the region, such as caves and dugouts. |
