Abstract (828 Views)
Aims: The spatial arrangement of housing, pertaining to the interconnection of spatial components, exhibits an intricate relationship with all architectural challenges and concerns. Consequently, the objective of this research endeavor is to scrutinize and explore the arrangement of modern structures in Mashhad, aiming to identify discernible patterns.
Methodology: The current investigation adopted a practical approach and was carried out within the confines of Mashhad city in 2021, employing a mixed qualitative-quantitative methodology. A comparative-descriptive analysis was performed on the residential layouts of Mashhad city. The sampling technique utilized was random, leading to the selection of a cluster comprising 61 samples from 17 districts of Mashhad.
Findings: A total of 44 distinct graphs were observed, with the predominant layouts in Mashhad being those consisting of six or seven nodes. These nodes typically encompass areas such as the entrance space, reception area, parents' bedroom, child's bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Analysis of the connection parameter revealed that the minimum maximum value among the depicted graphs was 2, whereas the maximum peak value stood at 4. In terms of the selection parameter, the highest rating reached 2 due to the limited number of internal spaces, while the lowest rating was 1.
Conclusion: The primary structure common to all graphs entails an entrance space leading to a reception area. Spatial organization has been prominently upheld in the majority of designs, with particular emphasis on the kitchen and service areas as pivotal zones within the layouts.
