Abstract

Introduction: The Family is the primary context in which the process of socialization and the quality of people’s Lifestyles are shaped. As an essential element of both individual and societal life, the Family can play a productive role if it is able to express itself in the most desirable way and function effectively. The house, as the main setting of Family life, contributes to the formation of individual personality and Lifestyle, and plays a fundamental role in meeting people’s needs and aspirations. The relationship between the individual and the house is reciprocal: while human Lifestyles influence the architecture of residential spaces, architectural design also directly affects Family Lifestyles. Thus, the way in which living spaces are designed is of great significance. The central research question is: What are the most important dimensions of Family Lifestyle, and how does each of them affect Housing architecture?Method: The research employed a deductive content analysis method, chosen to organize the raw data obtained from existing studies. During the review of sources, an effort was made to move beyond the surface level of the texts and to identify both explicit and implicit criteria. These criteria were then coded and organized into relevant tables in order to achieve a more comprehensive result. Titles relevant to the research were identified across books, published articles, research reports, and theses. For internal sources, databases were searched using titles, abstracts, and keywords such as Lifestyle, housing, Family, and Housing architecture. For external sources, 230 relevant studies were identified through reliable databases using similar keywords including housing design, Lifestyle, Family, and Housing architecture.In the initial coding process, criteria with maximum thematic relevance to the research topic were extracted and categorized as 38 effective Lifestyle criteria (Table 2). These were then synthesized into a preliminary framework of Family Lifestyle factors influencing housing design, grouped under ten general components: (1) sociological, (2) cultural, (3) social, (4) political, (5) religious, (6) economic, (7) geographical, (8) health-oriented, (9) temporal (era-based), and (10) intrinsic motivation/personal taste.In the second part of the study, these components and their subcomponents were categorized further, highlighting the relationship between Lifestyle dimensions identified in the first stage and the architecture of human living spaces. Graphical analysis of the components showed that sociological and cultural factors held the highest relative frequency and importance in housing design, followed by social, economic, health-oriented, geographical, religious, political, and intrinsic motivation/personal taste dimensions.Conclusion: Family Lifestyle can be understood as a relatively coherent set of behaviors and activities performed by Family members in the course of daily life, encompassing diverse dimensions across social, cultural, political, economic, and other domains. Based on the findings of this study, several key Lifestyle dimensions and their subcomponents were identified, including sociological factors such as gender, age, education, and Family structure; geographical aspects such as climate, ethnicity, and nationality; economic considerations including income, occupation, consumerism, and economic inequality; cultural elements; health-oriented factors such as physical and mental health; belief-based aspects including religion and religious activities; political orientation and participation; social communication styles ranging from active to passive; intrinsic motivation and personal taste such as digital or minimalist Lifestyles; and temporal aspects related to historical periods or eras. Each of these dimensions directly influences both Family Lifestyle and housing, which serves as the primary context for shaping daily behaviors and activities. Their impact on Housing architecture manifests in physical aspects such as the type of residence (villa, apartment, residential complex), form and proportions (dimensions and scale), decorations, furniture, and spatial layout, as well as in non-physical aspects such as symbolic meanings, sense of belonging, perceptions of safety, and feelings of peace and comfort.
