Abstract :

This research aims to explain the mechanism of the effects of the architectural application of Nature (AAN) on residential satisfaction (RS) at the scale of residential complexes and to identify key components in improving the quality of housing architecture through AAN. This research is mixed in terms of data type. It employs the causal-comparative research method. Variables and components affecting RS have been extracted from reviewing the theoretical foundations and literature, and to provide a conceptual model, the relational mechanisms between these variables have been explained through logical reasoning. To validate the conceptual model, a field study was conducted in five residential complexes in Tehran and a questionnaire was used to collect data. The results show that RS at the scale of personal, cultural, architectural, and environmental factors is a function of the variables of adherence to Islamic lifestyle (lifestyle at the structural level), residential desires related to the AAN, perceived quality of AAN, and perceived quality of housing architecture. In proportion to the increase in adherence to the Islamic lifestyle, residential desires related to formal and semantic components of the AAN have increased, and in the case of quality deficiency of these components, perceived quality and consequently RS will decrease. In addition, the key components of the AAN in improving the quality of formal, functional, and semantic components of housing architecture were recognized as unity, adaptability, and hierarchy.
