“…The socio-spatial analysis theory was directly applied in the study by Khattab (2005) and Mushtaha (2010) as a mapping diagram called gamma analysis, which shows the relationship between interior living spaces in cells with hollow circles connected with lines representing the circulation spaces. Another method called adjacency diagram (AD) was introduced by Kurosawa (1988); this theory combined circulation spaces and living spaces in plans. The theory allows for the creation of categories in architectural plans, which was also previously applied by Kurosawa and Mohamed (2005) and Mushtaha (2010).…”

PurposeThis research introduces a hypothesis for establishing typologies and patterns for architectural plans based on their climate, culture and orientation. The repetition and reproduction of spaces in architectural plans are rooted in mathematical equations. Factorial and permutation formulae are the type of equations used as scientific tools to define typology. In addition, a new perspective on culture and privacy in line with the Arabic house is included to illustrate the practicality of restricted plans according to cultural needs.Design/methodology/approachTo make the approach accessible, the theory is integrated into a software using C++ as the programming tool. Accordingly, all patterns and typologies are reproduced by inserting digits or numbers to simulate the process of using permutations and factorials for the creation of diagrammatic patterns and, subsequently, architectural plans.FindingsThe authors recommend that this method be integrated in future housing studies at earlier stages to obtain a high number of alternatives for architectural plans. The results of mathematical permutation of this study will help architects and designers to evolve their methods and processes through creating alternative patterns and culture (and climate)-specific typologies to provide more design possibilities.Originality/valueThis study is set to improve the adjacency diagram theory into the adjacency diagram with orientation theory, which accounts for the geographical orientation to obtain more comprehensive and climate-responsive patterns.

“…The reason behind the conception of the diagram is to show the circulation and connection of internal spaces in the space typological study in a simple diagram visually. The approach was inspired by Kurosawa (1988) but modified to cater more on indoor spaces of housing units. It is also intended to find a common prototype or configuration that can be considered for future development and at the same time respecting the needs of the occupants (Mushtaha et al, 2010).…”

This research studies the diversification of space distribution in selected Sama-Bajau dwellings along the north coast of Sabah: Kudat and Pitas; and east coast of Sabah: Mabul Island. This study investigates the frequency of spatial arrangements in Sama-Bajau coastal houses as a preliminary step in understanding their ideal home based on the existing socio-culture and economic practice. Adjacency Distribution Diagram by Mushtaha et al ( 2011) is used for simpler and compact visual diagram that explains the space distribution in each house attended. This paper is exploratory and applies a qualitative method. This study suggests that the spatial distribution amongst coastal Sama-Bajau consists of Dynamic interconnectivity (Type A), linear configuration (Type B), Anarchy configuration (Type C and D) and Modernist influence (Type E). The frequency of given types is found to weighs more on Type B, which is a linear configuration from the entrance towards guest area and ending up to the living area.
