(Persian architecture is always a matter of question and reflection because it properly meets the hierarchical various needs of human beings, also can be reproduced as an examined pattern in today architecture. ???)   This is doubly important in the case of sacred spaces in Iran, which have always represented the pinnacle of the art of designing form and space in Persian architecture and today face challenges of nature and identity. Meanwhile, there is a variety of approaches to identify what researchers were interested in and sought out in the buildings of past Persian architecture; including: The formal investigation of the historic buildings, the recognition of the context conditions and the period of time in which architectural works influenced by political, economic and social affairs were built in the historical context, as well as the profound effects of geographical and climatic factors on the structure of buildings. Some others have also introduced the entanglement approach to the cultural manifestations of every people, including Iranians. By studying and recognizing literature, poetry and fine arts, which touches the lives of human beings, they study architectural works in this field. They consider understanding each one without the other, to be incomplete, inadequate, and impossible. This study, based on this hypothesis that what was produced by the Iranian artist, certainly has a form of embodiment of the imaginary forms of the mind-maker and the experience of every place simultaneously is a mental and physical experience, by asking about the concept of imaginary and metaphoric concepts in art and architecture, based on interpretivism philosophical basis and qualitative approach to research, by using the research design of discourse analysis and descriptive-analytic research method, tries to answering the questions of the research. The results of the discussion show that the imaginary forms and metaphorical meanings in construction of the mosque and the shrine of Sheikh Abdul Samad in Natanz can be classified in four respects: 1. Imaginary location of the building and its relation to the time; architects of both two buildings, in their eternal vision of time, have taken a position for two buildings which brings immortality to the mind. The collection is conveniently located in such a way that sustainability of the natural structures and interaction of cosmic forces in it, creates a microcosmic which eliminates the presence of time. These two buildings, adjacent to the 1700-year-old plantain and the 2000-year-old Qanat, as human-built nature, are located in such a way among natural structure, which strengthen the existing nature and show its complete conformation with the existing cosmic order. 2. Domes as the mirror of the sky and as the mirror of earth; what is the poetic aspect of the shrine’s dome, with its not so great proportions, is the metaphoric role of a mirror-like tile on it, which exactly reflects the natural blue sky of Natanz. Outer shell denies its existence and becomes a mirror to represent the sky. The dome of the shrine, which is a symbol for a mystical journey, loses its rigidity and points to light and transparency. But in the mosque, the principle is based on the lack of external identification, simplicity, and inwardness. The dome of the mosque, with its earthy color, is a mirror and a symbol of the earth. Also, the northern portico of the mosque is covered with turquoise tiles and represents the earth as the sky. 3. Metaphors of light and darkness; the cavities embedded in the dome of the mosque are located in such a way that during daylight hours that shines the light rays like a waterfall into the inside. What falls under the dome is the rain of light which represents the essence of God, but in the shrine, shining of light is opposite of the mosque. At this place, the dome space, in opposite of mosque dome which is dark, is full of light. The dome which is the symbol of heaviness, rigidity and pressure is based on light beams. And 4. Imaginary of materials and body of two building. In these two adjacent buildings, materials and surfaces possess their own languages. Bricks and soil represent poetic signs of the human being's essence, and therefore establish an intrinsic connection with their audience. On the other hand, the soil is one of the four classical elements in the thought structure of Persians, consequently, with its pretense of earth, becomes colorful and smells of sanctity. Water represents another classical element which presents in the building. Both two buildings are necessarily multisensory and thoroughly comprehend the sensory perceptions of their audiences. The proportions of the body of the building and its proximity to the human body have constructed a humble and humane complex. Since human being receives and comprehends the world with his body, Here the experimental world is organized and defined and meaningful around the body of individuals, In fact, the empirical world of humans, has two simultaneous centers: the body and the physique of Shrine and mosque. In conclusion, it should be emphasized that all of the elements, forms, spaces and the geometry of motifs in this complex represent the authentic experience of the tradition of construction in the land of Persia and based the ontological aspect, it comes from the way of being-the-world and settling of Iranians.}, Keywords = {Metaphoric Space, Grand Mosque of Natanz, Sacred Architecture, Geometry, Imagery Idea}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {17-38}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1299-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1299-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Esmaeili, Mozhgan and Pedram, Behnam and Talebian, Mohammad Hass}, title = {Enlightenment of the paradox of the concept of image from the view of mystics and urban theorists}, abstract ={Since urban spaces are the focal point of the inhabitants of the earth, they can be considered the most appropriate area of manifestation of human culture, social communication and the history of nations, but today what is happening in Iranian cities is a departure from the rich cultural and ancient values of the inhabitants of this land and by a deeper look "reversal of the art of the times". There is no doubt that cityscape design has been very influential in the formation of cities. This urban component and its symbols reflect the character, function and culture of the city's inhabitants, and therefore the spiritual effects of the city are worthy of credit. This cityscape has not had a single concept in different literary, artistic, mystical and urbanization yet and its position in the field of urbanization is still unclear. One of the most important foundations of religious art is the consideration of meaning behind the face and appearance in such a way that the discovery of any meaning for man is in the form in which the meaning of it is manifested. Mysticism also places two dimensions of appearance and interior for each reality, and believes that the survival of meaning is not possible except through the form and what the mind can understand is a meaning that appears in the order of a form. But the issue that has been addressed in this study is whether this form and appearance are the same as the cityscape in urbanization? This research attempts to recreate this notion of architectural descriptive-analytical method by comparing different theories in various literary, mystical and urban areas in order to clarify the paradox in the concept of cityscape. In Persian, the word "image" means a face, a face or a state in the form of a human being that represents internal states, which is the same as the one used in the field of mysticism, and ultimately, the form and the meaning in the unity that is the face of the same meaning and The meaning is the same, but in the area of urbanization, various and contradictory interpretations of the term image have been brought about, which is far removed from the general meaning of cityscape; so that for some urban planners, cityscape is the subjective aspect of Urban Landscape , and everything that one perceives after viewing the perspective, cityscape knows, but some others introduce cityscape to the same face and appearance of City. According to the data of this research in the field of the concept of the word image in various literary, artistic, mystical and urban areas, it seems that the word Image has not been correctly equated in the field of urbanization. Regarding the purpose of this study, the insight of this contradiction of the concept of image in various fields of study, it can be concluded that in the field of urbanization, as in the literary and mystical areas, the concept of the word cityscape should be the same face and appearance of the city and the term cityscape And nature as the equivalent and perhaps new replacement for the urban landscape that is being used today in urban planning with a different conception. This phrase also expresses the face and the face of the city, and it mirrors the meaning of the appearance.}, Keywords = {Image and Nature of a city, Appearance and Conscience of city, Face, Meaning}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {39-52}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1300-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1300-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Pendar, Hadi}, title = {Framework of Changing the Process of Shaping Large-Scale Projects to Positive Urban Catalyst in the Historical Context - Case Study: Old City of Najaf}, abstract ={Historical context as a dynamic and live system needs to change and transform during the time. Among the key drivers of changes, economic and political dimensions are effective on determining the type, nature and implications of transformation. On the other hand, the needs of residents in such contexts is also constantly changing. Socio-physical assets in the context of historical contexts due to non-recurring values in them, than other urban contexts are important. Urban development documents act as the tools of the quality and identify control in historical contexts. Review of previous interventions indicated that any large-scale intervention in addition to the social impact of architecture, have interactive impact on the type and severity of subsequent changes and the whole of old city. The purpose of this description and analysis of large-scale interventions and mega structure projects in four neighborhoods of the old city of Najaf as a negative catalyst and urban design principles of the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali redevelopment projects as a positive catalyst for the future transformation as a guide. The study also examined the context of the old city of Najaf and examples of the development plan of the holy shrine as a positive catalyst and interventions in the commercial and residential areas as negative catalysts. This study reviews the documents and apply the comparative research method and using the deductive techniques and case study research method for examine of large-scale interventions. Using the case study method allows analysis of the cases. Based on the results, a comprehensive view of holistic approaches, sensitivity to context, control of unpredictability, the effectiveness of developmental and gradual and progressive effectiveness and branding and distinction become parts of the most important criteria for guiding large-scale projects toward changing to positive urban catalysts. Application of the conceptual model in evaluating cases reveals that, paying attention to the new development projects in historical areas based on a comprehensive approach, maintaining grain proportionality, tangible and intangible identities in accordance with the time characteristics values have been the characteristics of the shaping the positive development catalysts in the historical context of old city of Najaf Ashraf. Among the principles and strategies considered in the development plan for the Alavi Holy shrine and indicators for converting previous interventions into a catalyst for negative development, four key strategies to explain interventions in historical contexts have been presented as a catalyst for positive development; 1. Explain the role and place of design in the whole city. 2. Explain the method of intervention on a large scale in the historic city. 4. Pay attention to the pattern of historical development. 5. Prevention of domino changes. Achieving clear definitions of coherence and complexity in respect of the above indicators provides the basis for preserving historical contexts in the path of development and preventing of a negative catalyst.}, Keywords = {Large-scale projects, urban catalyst, Dominoes changes, Imam Ali holy shrine surrounding development plan, the old city of Najaf.}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {73-95}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1345-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1345-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Razavizadeh, Azam Sadat}, title = {Representation of Sustainable Archy Type in the Architecture of the Past and Present of the Iranian House (Kashan and Yazd Houses, Qajar and Contemporary Period) *}, abstract ={The lack of proper understanding based on the fundamental and original notions of persistent architectural patterns of the house has led to disturbances in the fundamental structures of contemporary home architecture. The design of a home-based on sustained principles and archetypes has had complexities that have been taken into consideration in recent traditional architectural patterns have been one of the most prominent and important ways to meet the needs of their time. Among its achievements are climate and design adaptation, the proper use of natural energy, and the enjoyment of comfortable space for humans. It seems that by examining the nature of the archetypes, their applications in the residential design are represented. In this paper, after reviewing the basic principles of residential patterns in case studies, the design criteria used in them are extracted. The purpose of the research is identifing the old architectural patterns of the Kashan houses and its efficiency in designing modern residential architecture. The research method is based on case studies that analysise the content of the texts to identify the conceptual framework for understanding the design criteria. An overview of the role of patterns can be pointed out in terms of its functionality to meet the needs of its time, such as the central courtyard, the Godal Baghcheh (the construction of the main spaces at the negative level), spatial hierarchy, spatial expansion, etc. They are, for example, placing the outdoor space in the center of the house, orientation based on the use of natural factors such as sun, water and wind, roof tiling, sun light and even engaging such as colored glasses from a set of patterns which has a good response in terms of climate, style, aesthetics, and performance. Using the archetype in today's architecture, architect should pay attention to the reason for the emergence of the old patterns. What was the reason why each pattern was originated and what needs to be answered? Finally, how can they be improved by increasing their qualitative dimension with the continuation of them in the formation the spaces of today's homes? In addressing each of the dimensions we want to identify the criteria we can use to cite impact of each criteria to form a pattern-based space. The research is qualitative and analyzes the content of theoretical texts by the research samples. Finally, an analytical review of approaches and considerations consistent with the content of the concepts of theories is obtained to assess the qualitative criteria achieved. Issues raised through representation are examined. Using this method, the studied houses are considered based on the proposed criteria based on the shape structure. Therefore, in this section, the dimensions of the climate, spatial organization, relationship with the earth, materials, proportions and spatial geometry in the four dimensions will be studied to summarize the desired dimensions. Considering the basis of the research, which is based on qualitative analysis, sampling was selected randomly from houses built in the past and present in both Kashan and Yazd. In this regard, the principles based on architectural design patterns in the past and continuity in today's architecture is extracted. Then, based on the conceptual model presented, the criteria were classified into the components of natural structure, physical-space structure, and visual structure. After assessing the reliability of the components by the experts, the level of impact and more comprehensive principles were identified. Subsequently, the semantic analysis of each that was carried out in the studied samples. The results of the research show that the architectural patterns of the houses studied in natural, physical, spatial and visual structures through 15 concepts of hierarchy, spatial equilibrium, flexibility, introversion, collective activity, sensibility, security, energy efficiency, confidentiality, confinement, vernacular materials, static, natural varieties, natural elements, and architectural negative-level are recognizable. These concepts are introduced in the formulation of the criteria of spaceism, introversion, naturalism, and structuralism. These items are more likely to be found in the homes of Saleh and A house, Yazd. In the later spatial organization, lowering the level of clearance (architectural negative-level), the Govdal Baghcheh means the use of the yard in the center of the house and the use of natural lighting and communication with the open space can be viewed on a wider level. In the dimension of the space hierarchy, space communications are considered in two horizontal and high altitudes, open, semi-open, closed, and spatial space, based on space and movement. In the pattern of introversion, there was no direct visual relationship between the inside and the attention to the design of open spaces that could provide direct visual communication; the confidentiality of limiting the attainment of the mental comfort of residents in the home and the observance of safe privacy; spatial communication to develop the activities of the residents of the house is examined. Finally, by evaluating these criteria, the archetypes that can continue in the architecture of today's homes are presented in the form of an analytical-applied model.}, Keywords = {Archytype, Architectural Design, Home, Kashan, Yazd.}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {96-100}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1302-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1302-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {Neghabi, Mahboobe and Hashemp, Parisa and Asefi, Maziar}, title = {Explaining the Function of Nature-Derived Patterns in Architecture in Responding to Human Needs in the Traditional and Contemporary Period}, abstract ={Nature has always played a very significant role in responding to numerous human needs. Human needs have two dimensions of material and value, and this subject has been the source of both material and value views of nature. Human, in response to their needs, has invented solutions that have, if repeated, become a model. The current article aimed to compare the role of technologies and solutions derived from nature in meeting human needs in both traditional and contemporary periods from the perspective of experts. The question posed to attain this objective is: What are the differences in the extent and manner of responding to different human needs by patterns derived from nature in the traditional era and the contemporary era? At first, in the theoretical framework of the research, the solutions and technologies obtained from library studies were categorized in eleven groups and via the qualitative method and logical reasoning, the formation of solutions and technologies derived from nature based on the response to human needs and their transformation into architectural patterns and the impact of features such as multifunctionality, and combination of patterns in an appropriate response to various human needs were mentioned. To answer the research question, to compare the two traditional and contemporary eras in response to human needs using solutions and technologies derived from nature, the architectural experts’ views were cited via a semi-structured interview method. The results obtained from the present study at this stage were that in the traditional era, nature has played a more effective role in meeting the various needs of human beings than in the contemporary era and in the contemporary period, with the diminution of the semantic dimension of man, the attention to the value dimension of nature in architecture has also diminished and the provision of material needs of nature has been given priority. In general comparison, in the traditional era, technologies derived from nature were more abundant in architecture, but in the contemporary era, it is limited to specific buildings. Out of the eleven solutions obtained, according to experts, the criteria of nature as a source of matter and energy and inspiration from nature in the promotion of technology in the contemporary period and the criteria of direct use of nature in architectural design and use of renewable energy in the traditional period, had the highest frequency.}, Keywords = {nature, architecture, human needs, architectural patterns, traditional period, contemporary period}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {113-129}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1346-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1346-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {}, title = {}, abstract ={}, Keywords = {}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {145-161}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1301-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1301-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} } @article{ author = {}, title = {Framework theory for people\'s space rights, from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence and law}, abstract ={Fair use of urban space is one of the new and emerging issues in the field of architectural law and urban planning, and one of the structures to address it is to assess the rights of architectural works. An architectural work, in addition to the specific audience or the people living in it, also has a general audience (the people of the city) who are influenced by the social aspects of that work. The existence of an element of influence in this regard (between architectural works and people) suggests that the creation of architectural works is a kind of influential social behavior; Behaviors that are inherently necessary to create all kinds of intersections and legal conflicts for individuals in society. The focus of the present study is to explain the theoretical framework for people's rights to artificial urban spaces (architectural works). An examination of the relevant literature suggests that the explanation of this framework goes beyond describing the three main pillars, including why and what, how to deduce, and so on. After addressing them, the following results were obtained: The space rights of the people, are the privileges and the red lines that obligatory have the support and guarantee that the people have. They have them compared to artificial urban spaces. The inference of these rights was based on three pillars of religious sources, legal documents and the nature of urban space, and five fundamental rights including "right to spatial spirituality", "right to spatial identity", "right to spatial quality", "right to spatial health" and " "Space Justice" was extracted. Of course, this separation does not mean the separation or supremacy of one right over another; rather, it looks at how these rights are enforced and how they are realized. In the current legal documents, some of these rights have been neglected. It is hoped that these lines will pave the way for theoretical discussions and, consequently, the reform of the legislative system in the field of architecture and urban planning.}, Keywords = {Law, People, Theoretical Framework, Artificial Urban Space}, volume = {8}, Number = {2}, pages = {162-180}, publisher = {Iran University of Science & Technology}, url = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1303-en.html}, eprint = {http://jria.iust.ac.ir/article-1-1303-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Researches in Islamic Architecture}, issn = {2382-980X}, eissn = {2382-980X}, year = {2020} }
