Abstract
Traditional societies and religious and public buildings and cities will always have a special role in the expression of the sacred, mostly common values that exalted the purpose according to God and the truths of existence were in charge of With the advent of modernism and changing human relationship with the divine, while changing values and reduced it to a purely experimental purposes a substantial part of this important mission, the Museum was transferred to the emerging phenomenon. Contemporary Museum, an institution that has the object and effect of its connection with the universe, the data are incomplete understanding where another place to supply the above mentioned do not have. Phenomenological approach to the study of the logic of the museum features a variety of word origins and roots of garlic Genesis and evolution of the tradition of the modern concept of the museum deals. The results show that although the museum by providing a platform for the generation and transfer of knowledge is undeniable values, But the kind of understanding that comes from looking at the human-centered detail oriented and modern, as notable flaw is in need of revision. So in order to get closer to a true understanding of the concepts mentioned in Islamic culture and focus on its proper relationship to the human - nature of the museum and defined. Museums look at a system that is as special institution of the universe, In connection with its defined, is trying to link a range of natural history and natural places, with a verse approach towards spiritual and cultural - culture, memory and the representation In order to understand the growth and development of human life and reasonable relation to the actual creation step.

Abstract
The major change processes that have taken place in recent centuries, affect the facade and its elements. These changes have caused variations in the visual appearance of buildings. However, throughout the history of the late Qajar dynasty and the early years of the Pahlavi reign, different architectural styles have been developed and they were evolving as societies changed over the centuries. In the history of Iranian architecture, there has never been a break with the history of architecture. But in the last century, the alien elements entered into the Iranian-Islamic architecture and there has been a change in the principles of architecture. In the late Qajar period, the process has been discontinued and the structure of the façades as well as other architectural features were being modified. At the beginning of the Qajar era, the presence of Western symbols was also important in the facades. External factors contribute towards the indigenous architecture of a region to a great extent. Extracting patterns from different Islamic periods can be used in modern architecture. After the glorious era of Safavid architecture, the Qajar period is the interface between the past and the future architecture. The nature of the exodus of traditional Iranian architecture during this period were undoubtedly influenced by the Constitutional Movement. However, the dynamics of the modernization in the Pahlavi era brought about changes in Iranian society. This study seeks to compare the views of different eras in accordance with the principles of Islamic architecture. The methodological approach of the research is mixed (quantitative and qualitative). The study is based on an interpretative-historical research strategy using library information resources, field observations, and questionnaire survey data. In this regard, the study of architectural styles and practices of each period, the quantitative comparison of the fundamental characteristics and indicators of Islamic architecture in urban façades, and functional units in different categories are discussed. Depending on the theoretical framework of the current research, seven indicators of Islamic architecture were obtained. These indicators include geometry, proportion, symmetry, harmony, dynamics, order and rhythm, and unity in plurality. In the next step, three different buildings were chosen and made subject to a systematic inquiry. 42 students and 9 faculty members of architecture and planning were selected to study the characteristics of each building. After the pilot work was completed, the questionnaire was distributed to the respondents. Finally, the important attributes were determined in each building. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the change of architecture can be interpreted according to the intellectual architecture of its era. Therfore, only a physical change could not ultimately lead to a structural change in style.

Abstract
Challenges associated with declining residential values in old urban areas have made regeneration a priority. Mixed land use is a cornerstone of smart growth and modern urban planning. This study aims to identify and evaluate mixed land use components influencing old urban texture regeneration.
This study employs a mixed method. Initially, through descriptive-analytical methods and content analysis, the components affecting mixed land use and the regeneration of old textures, along with their frequency, were extracted. Subsequently, the relationships between the components of mixed land use affecting in the regeneration of old textures were systematically outlined, and a researcher-made questionnaire was accordingly prepared. The Sirous neighborhood was selected as a case study, with 120 residents surveyed.
Findings indicate that housing type diversity, pedestrian-bike orientation, and functional vertical/horizontal integration significantly impact regeneration in Sirous neighborhood. Correlation analysis determined the extent of these relationships and informed design strategies. These include creating housing diversity to attract groups of various income, establishing accessible amenities for essential goods and services to promote pedestrian orientation, and incorporating green elements in facades and path pavement.

Abstract
Childhood is the most crucial period of human life, and the well-being of children is essential for the growth of any society. Given that children spend a significant amount of time at home, the design of residential environments profoundly impacts their health. Unfortunately, current residential designs are often based solely on the preferences of adults, leading to alarming changes in children’s daily habits. These changes contribute to various health issues, including depression, obesity, aggressive behavior, asthma, attention deficit disorders, and heart disease, often confining children to virtual spaces and depriving them of a healthy childhood.
This research aims to prioritize design components in residential complexes that most effectively promote children’s health and to identify the most important physical criteria for fostering healthy environments for children. To achieve this, a survey questionnaire was developed based on a descriptive-analytical review of relevant literature, targeting four groups: child architects, child psychologists, parents, and educators, totaling 100 participants. The collected data were analyzed using Friedman’s test and Shannon’s entropy, revealing the most significant environmental components affecting children’s health in residential complexes from each group’s perspective.
The results indicate that the most critical shared concern among all four groups is safety and security, which is a fundamental requirement for creating child-friendly environments. Following this, children’s architects emphasize the importance of play spaces as multifunctional areas that support educational, social, psychological, and cultural development. In contrast, parents prioritize adequate lighting and peace of mind regarding their children’s well-being. Psychologists focus on fostering social connections among children to enhance their life skills and independence, while educators share parents’ concerns about sufficient lighting for children’s developmental needs.
