        Changes in the building space organization in the first Pahlavi era in public buildings in Tabriz, Iran are evident. The question is whether it is possible to study the hidden pattern in modern architectural structures from the perspective of sociological principles and use it as a fixed pattern in architecture and control the people in the building behaviorally? In this regard, Michael Foucault, who relates space to the functional needs of power, introduces disciplinary techniques that lead to the control of people in the space. The goal of this study is to compare Michael Foucault’s disciplinary techniques such as space functionality, row organization, gridding, spatial separation and visibility (Panopticon), which lead to enhanced performance, activity control, removal of scattered circulation and space wastage, spatial dominance and individual behavior control, in three case studies that include a leather factory, a municipality building and a boys' training college in Tabriz in the first Pahlavi era. This study is qualitative and done by analyzing case studies and the findings are the result of library resources, and field observations. The results of this study show that the items such as cellular structure of the space, customization of places, elimination of scattered circulation by a certain and limited circulation design, elimination of space wastage by functional design of the space and the proportionality of the space with the body have been employed in the case studies.
