Sunulan çalışmada İTÜ Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü’nde devam eden doktora tez Hayat (court) and riwaq (portico) in Iran, and in the traditional life of Tabriz in particular, are the main araştırmasının sonuçlarından yararlanılmıştır. Tez kapsamında Tebriz’in geleneksel evlerinden günümüz spaces where households sleep and rest, and on special religious days they are used for cooking. People apartmanlarına kadar uzanan geçiş sürecinde ana yaşam mekânının evrimi sentaktik olarak who come to the house from the outside are firstly hosted there too, so these spaces are used both as irdelenmektedir. Burada sunulan çalışmada ise sadece geleneksel evlerde “Mekânsal Dizim” yöntemi social and recreational spaces. These spaces provide contiguous and gradual transitions from outside and kullanılarak sentaktik analizler şemalar üzerinden tartışılmaktadır. from public areas into the area devoted to private life. Therefore, they help households to control the level of privacy. On the other hand, hayat brings the people of the house together with the natural world, and in Anahtar kelimeler: Geleneksel Tebriz Evleri, Hayat, Revak, Mekânsal Dizim the same way, it ushers natural light and fresh air into other living spaces. This study will discuss the characteristics of hayat and riwaq in traditional Tabriz houses and how they organize the connection 1. INTRODUCTION between the other spaces. Tabriz city lies in the center of Eastern Azerbaijan Province in the northwestern region of Iran. The traditional residential architecture of Tabriz persisted for many years, and until the Pahlavi period in the Methodologically, the present study will focus on the syntactical values of the spaces, obtained as a result early twentieth century, the city's traditional texture and architecture had not changed. The architecture of analyses conducted of the plan schemes using the spatial syntax method. There are studies of came into being in accordance with the demands of traditional lifestyle and did not change dramatically. traditional Tabriz houses which mostly emphasize the structural and climatic features, however the An exploration of the houses of the north-western part of Iran, and Tabriz houses in particular, can give syntactical approach has not been used in the studies of traditional
