Abstract


Architectural spaces with the capability of spatial organization and internal transformations can respond to a greater number of their users’ needs at different times. The necessity to access this ability is one of the subcategories of flexibility in housing as a contemplative subject. The purpose of this research is to provide an analytical model in relation to understanding change modes and effects analysis tool and using its indicators to assess flexibility in housing. The research method in the present study will be of mixed type, and its performance method will be based on estimation and evaluation. The obtained results show that the spatial organization in residential complexes in Tehran city is based on applying possible changes in the spaces. This has led to the increased flexibility of spaces in relation to various activities.
