Analytical evaluation of transparency in the spatial configuration system of Shahneshin Hall in the Garden-mansion of the Qajar period of Shiraz using the space syntax technique (Case studies: Eram, Afif Abad, Narenjestan-Qavam and Shapuri garden-mansion)

Transparency is one of the qualities of the spatial structure in iranian architecture,but it has less theoretical explanation, in order to investigate the concept of transparency, the aim of research is to evaluate the spatial structure of the particular marks of the qajar period and the examples investigated in the city of shiraz city. in this research, descriptive and analytical methods have been used to describe the characteristics of the research samples, and the “comparative study and analysis” method has been used to analyze the data in the evaluation of the spaces. this type of study deals with creating relationships between two or more phenomena, through analysis, explanation, explanation of their characteristics, differences, and possible similarities and after that spatial structure analyzed using depthmap software in four garden-mansion case such as eram, afif abad, shapuri and narenjestan qavam to evaluating location of shahneshin hall up to the transparency matter. the results show shapuri garden-mansion has the highest amount of transparency, followed by eram garden-mansion, then narenjestan qavam garden-mansion, and finally afif abad mansion. finally, it can be concluded that because the shapuri garden- mansion has the highest quantitative value in the four indices of depth, visibility, coherence and legibility, it has more spatial transparency than other mansions.
