Abstract

The general understanding of human dwelling or being in the earth and its corresponding environment has had various architectural responses in traditional and modern thought. The space in which man inhabits and transforms it into his dwelling is a place in which he represents, shapes, lives with and reconstructs a part of his existence and identity over and over again, consciously and unconsciously, in a constant process and every moment, consciously and unconsciously. Man becomes aware of himself when he has chosen a dwelling and has established his existence in human society. Therefore, the concept of dwelling has always   been  associated with individual and social actions throughout history and has  occupied the minds of thinkers.  Housing has various spatial, architectural, physical, economic, social, financial, psychological, and medical  dimensions. The objectives of this paper are the necessity of paying attention to  the current of contemporary housing architecture by exploring and searching in both architectural and sociological images. In this method, taking into account comparative studies and the ideas of theorists, an attempt was made to explain the conceptual dimensions of society and society, culture and identity in urban housing. The results showed that desirable spaces for contemporary urban housing that can meet the needs of citizens and can encourage them to participate in public areas by attracting their satisfaction is necessary, including the role of communal spaces in residential areas The contemporary city is more decisive.
