Abstract

Traditional residential architecture of Iran has always been the basis for the formation of identity and civilizational culture due to its architectural qualities. The principle of transparency is one of the principles that have always been present in Iranian art and architecture, and along with it, the factor of culture and religion has always been challenging with a kind of transformation in the spatial structure of architecture that is evident in the Qajar period and its three periods of early, mid and late. The method of collecting information is documents and library. At first, according to the triple introspection introspection, spatial hierarchy and locating the type of spatial qualities and initial graphical analytics, and using A-graph software, the justification graph of case samples was drawn, then based on the geometric relations of space syntax, these variables were calculated in nine Qajar houses of Tabriz that were used to validate the calculations obtained from geometric relations Samples were analyzed in Depthmap software. The findings indicate that Ghadaki House with a score of 4 had the highest and Hariri and Salmasi houses had the lowest respect. The general result indicates that in the studied samples in the mid-Qajar period have the highest and the lowest degree of confidentiality due to the concept of transparency in the spatial structure. In Research The future can include the number of samples as well as climatic diversity in the research.
