Abstract: (429 Views) |
Following the industrial, labor and socialist revolutions and, consequently, the entry into the modern era in recent centuries, there have been two streams leading to the industrialization and mass production. The first stream was associated with growing socialist viewpoints safeguarding the interests of workers, which sought to provide better living conditions for the working class through the construction of residential settlements with an industrial approach. The second stream was the consequence of contemporary capitalism, which was supposed to support international thoughts in order to protect and develop its own interests by achieving the global construction market. The Islam as a comprehensive religion presents principles and instructions which have a social status. It seems that industrialized construction as part of the industrialization process aims to establish ideals that can be shared with social goals of the Islam. In construction industry, the fundamental question of the research is that which industrialized building systems coincide with the Islamic goals. In this study, the research hypothesis suggests that there are criteria in the teachings related to Islamic housing, which can evaluate industrialized building systems. This study aims to classify industrialized building systems in accordance with Islamic criteria of housing. The study seeks to evaluate industrialized building systems by categorizing Islamic criteria of housing. Subsequently, the results of evaluation are examined in comparison with actual cases and the correlation between the results is confirmed. In this study, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is employed for the accuracy of results. This study is an applied research. The information is collected through library research and Internet websites. Semi-structured interviews with experts are also used to satisfy the selected Islamic and industrial criteria. According to the results of this research, there are criteria in Islamic architecture and housing that can be realized more by some industrialized building systems. Hence fully prefabricated building system and fully automated prefabricated building system gain the highest score in meeting the selected Islamic criteria. The results of this study will be utilized to enrich the industrialized architecture and Islamic housing literature and can serve as a source of thoughts to help the process of decision making by managers and builders. |
