Abstract

1- Introduction: The main purpose of this article is to examine spatial order through the adaptation of spatial layout to the environment, the relationship between spatial organization and the cultural environment, the functional efficiency of space, differentiation and spatial separation in Iranian houses.

2- Research Method: This article has benefited from a qualitative research approach with a synthesis research method. Sampling in this article was carried out using a purposeful method and the analysis method was open, axial and selective coding. The statistical population of the study was 31,600 and the sample size included 52 articles that were screened using a purposeful method (studies of historical houses, time of publication of the article, scientific-research level, etc.).

3- Results and Discussion: To analyze the findings, coding was carried out in three stages. First, the main concepts and components were identified, then the relationship between the components and subcomponents was examined. In the next step, open coding analysis led to the combination of semantic affinities of the components, which are: adaptation of spatial arrangement to the environment, connection of spatial organization to the cultural environment, functional efficiency of space, differentiation and spatial separation. Finally, in the selective coding stage, the selected component of spatial differentiation was identified and examined.

4- Conclusion: The results of this paper show that the recurring biological pattern produces a measure of spatial arrangement as a stable structure in diverse physical characteristics for finding identity in architecture. These recurring patterns are biological patterns. Therefore, the arrangement of space should be done according to environmental characteristics.
