Abstract

Tall residential buildings as a demographic solution for vertical development and creating diverse housing were a response to population growth in cities that arose following modern Western architecture. This research is aimed at extracting the components of the western intellectual trends after entering Iran and shaping the Tall residential buildings. The question of this research is, which are the components of western architecture that are effective in the physical design of Tall residential buildings and which of them is more effective in their formation. As a result, the research method is a kind of quantitative and qualitative research and used a mixed qualitative and quantitative method to explain the components of western architecture on the physical design of Tall residential buildings after the Islamic revolution. To extract the components, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 46 people. The results are entered into ATLASTI software and have been subjected to data reduction with coding. At the end, the results of the components were extracted and compiled in the form of a questionnaire and provided to 384 space users. Then the data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics in JMPSAS software. The results of the research show that in the group of designers, the highest factor share is related to late modern architecture with a value of (0.955) and the lowest factor share is related to deconstruction architecture with a value of (0.121). In the group of users of deconstruction architecture, with a value of (0.225), the lowest factor share is related to postmodern architecture with a value of (0.923).
