The role of "memory" (meaning treasury) and "imagination" (face treasury) of the architect in shaping theprocess of creating and perceiving architectural worksBased on the view of transcendent wisdom
The issue of how the process of creating and perceiving architectural works and the factors affecting it is an important, multidimensional and interdisciplinary category. However, at present, the process of formation of architectural works in most studies is based on superficial perceptions of human perception and at best depends on the five human senses and, of course, usually limited to some of them. Therefore, it is necessary to address the aspects of this issue from the perspective of anthropological sciences (knowledge of his powers and perceptual tools), ontology (knowledge of the levels of existence) and psychology of theenvironment (study of the relationship between man and the environment).
The present study intends to investigate how the stages of the process of creating and perceiving architectural works are formed by focusing on the esoteric forces, especially the "memory" and "imagination" of the architect and also by redefining the steps of decomposition, composition and evaluation in this process with a new look, this study intends to investigate the direct and indirect effects on the quality of formation and realization of these steps. The theoretical basis of this research is the principles of transcendent wisdom and to do it, the strategy of logical reasoning has been used. In the data collection stage, documentary and librarystudies have been used, and in the later stages, the deductive reasoning method has been used.
The results of this research show that architecture, like other human actions, is influenced by the material and spiritual context of growth (lived experience) and the architect's perceptions during his lifetime until the moment of creating the work. On the one hand, the architect is influenced by his memory (treasury of meanings) and imagination (treasury of faces) that these items will be the source of his ideas, and on the other hand, by his actions, ethics and temperament ,he creates a level for his rational soul, which is the origin and creator of his actions. And of course the level of the soul also plays an important role in the efficiency of memory and imagination in human beings because the meanings and forms stored in them are the result of his level of interaction with the worlds. This approach can also pave the way for change in architecture education Be. Because he emphasizes that the architect must first go through the arc of ascending epistemology in his being and then try to create in the arc of the descent of the creation of thearchitectural work.

Abstract

The old area of Roodband in Dezful city has historically served as a gathering place for the people of Dezful during the observance of Muharram rituals. It is both physically and naturally one of the memorable and identity-giving components of Dezful. However, the traditional routes for these ceremonies are currently inadequate for accommodating the movement of mourning processions. Despite the addition of some spaces to these routes, they still do not meet the current needs, leading to social, cultural, and transit-related problems in the city.
The primary objective of this research is to examine the memorable and identity-giving criteria for the revitalization of this square as a crucial landmark in addressing contemporary life and activity needs within the complex, the surrounding context, and the city of Dezful. The main research question is: What common memory-ritual themes does Roodband Square hold among the people? Additionally, what physical solutions are prioritized in terms of enhancing the quality and identity of this space?
By clarifying the theoretical and physical frameworks of this quality, the research aims to assist urban designers in improving citizens’ connection to this urban space. This study is applied in nature and employs a descriptive-analytical research method based on inferential statistics. In the first stage, relevant literature was reviewed to extract dimensions and general criteria for preserving collective identity and memory in urban environments. User opinions regarding environmental factors affecting memorability were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software.
The research results indicate that the domain of meaning has been identified as the most significant area for identity and memory creation from the perspective of space users, with the fields of activity and physicality following in importance. Furthermore, to elucidate physical solutions for enhancing collective identity and memory in the Pir Roodband area, four categories of solutions were defined: urban and architectural design, improvement of urban facilities and furniture, land use planning, and traffic measures. In order of importance, traffic solutions were deemed most critical, followed by architectural and urban design solutions, improvements to urban facilities and furniture, and land use planning.
