An analysis on the role of flexibility approach in the interior spaces of housing

Although the architectural space is a completely defined space, but for various reasons, it may be necessary to change the design patterns and predict the possibility of changes in the structure and function of the spaces of the house. For example, in some cases, it is necessary to reduce or increase the dimensions and size of spaces in order to communicate with other spaces. When there is a possibility of changing the space in accordance with the needs in a physical system, without transforming it or the main elements, flexibility becomes meaningful. The most important goals of this article are to search for the components and indicators of the flexibility of the building and interior spaces (centered on housing) to increase the efficiency of the building and the durability of the building over time. The economic, technological, and cultural transformations of our present society influence various scales of our daily lives. In housing, these transformations include changes in the family nucleus and the activities performed in living spaces. Housing flexibility seeks to meet the multiple needs of users by changing their living spaces and functions. This study aims to explore housing flexibility through a review of relevant literature, discussion of valuable findings, and presentation of a contemporary panorama of the theme. Notions of flexibility are integrated to reinterpret the contemporary sense of dwelling. However, the lack of a well-defined concept of flexibility hinders the integration of methods and theories on the subject.
