Abstract :
Housing is the most comprehensive applied,and social type of architecture.The quality of housing construction has changed significantly in recent decades due to social changes and technological advances. Technology has been one of the factors of transformation in all aspects of post-modern architecture. Today's technology plays a role beyond the structure in architecture. Nowadays, the industrial supply of materials to increase the speed of implementation and reduce costs seems to be inevitable due to the advancement of technology and building construction as an industrial product. In other words, to produce high-quality and cheap housing, many other traditional methods of construction do not meet the existing needs of society. Thus, improving the quality in the production of materials, design, and implementation methods, speeding up the construction process, competition in the advancement of technology, optimal use of the workforce, and the use of new construction technologies are among the most effective components in this industry. Thus, gaining knowledge and information about new construction technology is an urgent need for engineers in the contemporary decade. The need to use construction technologies varies depending on the growth of each society and the use of technology in other industries, and the implementation capabilities of that society. Nowadays, technology has affected the dimensions of human life, so some experts believe that the world will be conquered by technology soon. Human efforts have always been in line with improving life facilities and utilizing normal, cultural, and social conditions. Thus, this study seeks to examine the role of technology in improving the quality of construction in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. The status of technology in architecture causes various viewpoints. However, meeting the needs of users in architecture undoubtedly requires the mastery and use of technology in its various dimensions. Critics believe that the use of technology alone cannot respond to and fulfill all needs. The impact of technology on time, quality, cost, resource consumption, efficiency, and the ultimate achievement, which is associated with the concepts and goals of sustainable architecture, cannot be ignored in this regard. Modern and advanced technologies play a fundamental role in the development of contemporary urban architecture. In this regard, it is possible to improve the quality of construction based on the three Vitruvian principles of "static" "beauty"and "utility" architecture by using new technologies in the housing construction industry.The present study identified the components of technology affecting the improvement of construction quality in the Berelian residential complex, Jannat Abad, Tehran. It uses a fuzzy approach. It is applied in terms of aim and descriptive and analytical in terms of method. It is also considered a survey (questionnaire). In this study, data were collected using the library method, and some components were extracted through reasoning in the form of a peer-to-peer matching table between the two areas considered in the article by using the views of professors who are familiar with these areas.The analysis was done through the parametric test that compares the means in paired samples with the AHP model. The results revealed that the components of durability and useful life, the ability to control quality, reduce material waste and waste production during construction, ease of maintenance and repair, safety against fire, reduction of on-site construction operationssafety and high speed of construction, mechanization, and flexibility are among the most important components Also visual and functional harmony in the beauty part is a key component in evaluating the quality of housing construction. Given what was stated, materials are one of the significant components affecting the construction of housing Finally among the identified components, ease of maintenance and repairs, durability and useful life visual and functional harmony, and diversity (no restrictions in design) were among the influential components It can be stated that observing the effective components of technology can be useful and effective for improving the defects and reducing possible errors in the quality of construction in the residential complex, and the construction of industrial housing can be institutionalized as a culture in the country.Thus, the policy of development of building industrialization will be one of the effective and facilitating methods to solve the housing problem in Iran. Also, the industrialization of the building will reduce the cost of construction and the cost of buying housing.
