Abstract

This study, with attention to field observations, is in pursuit of studying aesthetic interests in urban housing according to anthropological perspective. The research approach is qualitative (qualitative content analysis) have been done through ethnographic data. The studied community is made up of two residential complexes located in the first and fifteenth regions of Tehran - with the names Gheytariyeh and Parvaneh. Research findings suggest that sometimes the tastes of the residents of the house are dominated by the architecture and design of the home, and sometimes the residents overcome it through human relationships. Factors such as economic conditions, religion, commitments to previous traditions, architecture and interior design have influenced the aesthetic interests of residents. The aesthetics of residents of the residential complex in the fifteenth region is more influenced by religious factors and adherence to the traditions and values of the past, and the economic factors and interior design of the house have aroused the aesthetics of the inhabitants of the residential complex in area one. Also, residents of the fifteenth region, unlike the inhabitants of District 1, were less affected by the architecture of the house.
