Abstract

Spatial organization and physical diversity are considered two characterization factors in different architectural styles. Measuring changes in them can be considered a means for understanding and explaining the concepts affecting the formation of the architectural body. Therefore, the difference between traditional and modern architecture can be found by measuring these two components. It is of great importance to investigate this issue in cities including historic context. In the present study, Dezful, as one of the Iranian cities including both historic and contemporary fabrics, is selected as the research field to answer the following questions: What factors are effective in the formation of physical diversity? The process of formation of the architectural body of Qajar and Pahlavi houses in Dezful shows a change in what criteria of diversity? The present study aims to identify the factors affecting the diversity of residential houses by comparing Pahlavi and Qajar houses. In the present study, Qajar and Pahlavi houses are compared in terms of the criteria of diversity using case studies and the survey method. Also, to collect the required data, a model is developed based on the research background using the VIKOR method. The sample population included all registered Qajar and Pahlavi houses that are weighted using the Shannon entropy method. The results indicate that the concept of body in Qajar houses includes proportions, yard area/building area ratio, spatial transparency, type of space, functional relationships between spaces, and flexibility while changes in the architectural body of Pahlavi houses include changes in the dimensions of the courtyard, proportions, hierarchy of access, reduction of privacy, space use, geometric form, and flexibility. Comparison of Qajar and Pahlavi houses shows that the concept of physical diversity has been expressed differently in these two periods and in Pahlavi houses, a decrease in some criteria of diversity is observed.
