Abstract

The subject of this paper is a comparative analysis of the role of religious values and attitudes on patterns of spatial relationships in Muslim and Zoroastrian homes in Kerman. According to thinkers, the culture has a profound effect on the formation of the house and the spatial relationships that govern it. One of the aspects of culture, values and religious attitudes is that, with their knowledge, one can create a culture-based architecture. This article has been used in the content section of the theory of reflection in art, and in the methodological part, it has used the space syntax theory. The method of this research is a combination of interpretive historical method with content analysis and logical reasoning techniques. Research steeps are using library studies, historical studies and simulation by using Grasshopper software with Space syntax plug-in, Depth map software and analysis the G-graph of 16 samples. This research was based on the differences between the percentages of the yard and the building, the difference in the percentage of mass and space, the level of transparency of the south facades of the houses and the components of the syntax space. The results of the study indicate that spatial patterns in the houses of Zoroastrian and Muslims do not have a significant and fundamental impact on their religious culture. The sociological aspects of the context have dominated the religious foundations in the formation of spatial relationships in Kerman.
