And what cultural and social characteristics have influenced housing architecture during the first and second Pahlavi periods? The results of the research have introduced the components of readability, transformation and continuity, spatial organization and spatial arrangement as effective parameters in the transformations of the housing architecture of the first and second Pahlavi periods, as well as in explaining the physical identity, which investigation can help maintain the physical identity in the house. of Khorramabad city in other time periods as well.

Graphical Abstract

Explanation of the components of physical identity in Pahlavi period houses (Case Study: Khorramabad city)

Highlights

  • physical identity in the archi­tecture of houses. Regarding identity in urban spaces, one should pay attention to the factors affecting identity, because many factors affect the formation of human identity and its transforma­tion
  • Physical identity is a space that at first seems undifferentiated, but when we recognize it and value it, it turns into a place. Culture and environment are the identity builders of human life, such a way that each of them plays an essential role in the formation of identity
  • Three indicators of differentiation/similarity, continuity/trans­formation and unity/multiplicity as criteria for evaluating physical identity should be considered
  • Course of developments and its identification can be known as another component in intro­ducing the influential features of the architec­ture of houses.
  • This issue includes two major parts, which are revealing the transformation and specifying the preservation or transforma­tion in the identity of its effective components.
