چکیده مقاله :
Place, as one of the basic concepts in architecture, is an area for habitation, relief and tranquility. In other words, man chooses to live in a place and through a place. On the other hand, attachment to housing is an emotional bond between human beings and housing, which leads to a feeling of trust, security and satisfaction. Therefore, the spatiality of housing is the subject of the present study, which aims to rethink the concept of dwelling and promote the experience of attachment in contemporary houses to evaluate the components that shape the spatiality and the physical approaches affecting it in study samples. The main research question is How are the shaping spatiality components in contemporary Iranian houses evaluated? The research method includes a combination of qualitative approach (descriptive analytical method) to analyze and interpret library information about theories of spatiality and place attachment as well as quantitative / qualitative approach (logical reasoning method) and software based on case study that is observed and analyzed with Depthmap computer simulator to study the spatial arrangement of five contemporary housing types in hot and dry climate cities. The samples include 10 outstanding residential buildings from 5 types of garden villas, single-unit attached houses, multi-unit attached houses, apartment houses and residential complexes in 4 cities with hot and dry climate. The comparison of housing types shows that courtyard houses have a better situation in terms of spatiality indicators, which are mainly related to the role of distribution areas such as courtyards and porches. In this way, removing the distributing role of the yard leads to a decrease in spatial coherence. Also, soft structures, obstacles and physical interface elements play a major role in determining visibility level and people following and, accordingly, visual and physical enclosure.
