Abstract
Many of a person's legacies that have been associated with him in the past are immaterial and intangible, they show themselves in the "place" where they live. The house is a reflection of the life happening in it. In a minority society, culture is more tangible and identifies the individual in the larger society. One of the most important and effective ways to prevent a society from losing its identity is to study it, to prove what reflects that identity in real life.
So far, in terms of Armenian lifestyle (in housing) and dealing with it closely, few studies have been done. This research is important in terms of recording and transmitting it to future generations. The present study is based on this principle that one of the main pillars of housing quality is the connection of the house with the culture by which the person lives. To raise the quality of housing in which a family of a certain community - who share common characteristics - lives, it is necessary to increase the cultural and habitat correspondence. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of lifestyle on housing and subsequent effects of Armenian social and individual lifestyle on their neighborhood, the exterior and interior layout and how to use home spaces. This study examines Armenian housing. Before final results of the analyzes performed, to achieve the project objectives through a synthetic research, case studies have been taken in an Armenian neighborhood in Tehran. Also, in qualitative part, studies and daily life of the residents in the home and outside of it, as well as short interviews have been conducted and validated by space syntax analysis graphs extracted from DepthMap software. Results show that people engage in activities throughout the day, week, month and year, depending on everything that goes into their lifestyle which are reflected in specific functions in specific spaces of the house and eventually, there are spaces that are more important regarding to Armenians’ activities. And at last, all of these findings and outcomes provide solutions for the appropriate design housing for Armenians of Tehran.
