Abstract :

Attention to quantity and failure to pay attention to quality as well as voidness of apartment housing of meaning, lack of meaningful relationships between Islamic-Iranian housing architecture culture and the imitated Western-styled apartment housing have caused disruption of the identity and link between the Islamic-Iranian housing architecture and the bright history of architecture of this land. Thus, this research was carried out with the question: What are the Qur’anic approach-based components affecting contemporary apartment housing? Moreover, the goal was to present a model of Qur’anic approach-based components affecting the contemporary apartment building architecture in Tehran. This quantitative and qualitative method (which involves a mixed method) was performed concurrently in three complementary phases. The most important components affecting the contemporary apartment housing architecture were 33 cases which Table 6 shows that 12% of those components have affected the contemporary housing architecture, and 88% affected the traditional housing architecture. Meanwhile, the most specific components by the percentage of their importance as a valuable Islamic model were introduced as the final components of the [model] as they included peace and security (98%), intimacy (96%), human dignity (94%), servitude (94%), privacy (92%), safety, strength and firmness (92%), humiliation (90%), bio-sustainable factors (90%), creativity (88%), and dynamism and activity (82%). A comparative review of the research results and six papers on urban housing revealed that the components derived from the present research were both materially and spiritually comprehensive. As for the contemporary apartment housing architecture pathology, various apartment spaces in architecture have suffered serious damages due to diminishing role and loss of effective components.
