This research deals with the problem of conserving Machiya focusing on its context for later use in a design method. It consists in a study of the actual context of Machiya using physical parameters based on a framework considering Machiya as an inhabitation system. First it explains the theoretical framework for understanding Machiya as such system, and then establishes an approach using semiotic theory of C. S. Peirce in order to distinguish semiotic indicators for parametric analysis corresponding to “Icons” “Indexes” and “Symbols” for testing such categories. An area of historical districts in Kyoto is analyzed using a set of indicators applied to each building in order to represent how such context of Machiya is present in each building by calculating a “contextual score”. It is found that the given theoretical framework is consistent with the results of analysis, showing that when focusing on indexes of systems of inhabitation as indicator instead of physical description (icons), it is possible to address the architectural context of an architectural typology such as Machiya, which can be complemented with clustering or other techniques.
