Iranian architecture has concepts that are meaningful in terms of Iranian-Islamic thought, culture and beliefs. One of these concepts which has influenced on Iranians’ lives is the index of privacy. This concept can be seen in various architectural and residential constructions in different periods before and after Islam.Considering the background of this issue in the culture of Iranian life, it seems that the manifestation of this concept in contemporary housing patterns is different from the cases that have been common in traditional patterns. This issue is greatly influenced by the differences in the architectural system of these two models and also the changes in the way of people’s lives in the contemporary era compared to the past. The present study intends to analyze the different dimensions of the concept of privacy by analyzing the spatial structure in traditional housing architecture and apartment model as the most common housing model in the contemporary era. Accordingly, by selecting three houses with a traditional pattern in the historical context of Shiraz and three apartment houses in the new context of Sadra City as a contemporary model and analyzing their spatial organization, the study has examined the concept of privacy in them. In this study, each of the indicators was analyzed separately and the results were presented in the form of comparative analysis, after extracting the indicators of analysis based on the literature. Finally, the results showed that privacy and the related indices can be seen more frequently in traditional houses as inseparable principles and components. Due to the changes in the architecture and construction of modern houses, the issue of privacy has faded to some extent in these houses, and by limiting physical access to spaces, more emphasis is placed on the formation of privacy.
