Evaluating the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Interactive Thinking in Improving Architectural Design Process
Get PDFThe idea of thinking in architectural design has long been one of the hallmarks of this process. On the other hand, according to the new definitions of emotional intelligence in the field of psychology, it can be concluded that if the parameters of this phenomenon are used positively and effectively, it is possible to promote the architectural design process among architecture students. Thus, identifying the related areas between emotional intelligence and interactive thinking in the architectural design process can play a significant role in promoting the creativity of future architects. For this purpose, the present study investigates the mutual relationship between emotional intelligence and interactive thinking in order to promote creativity in the architectural design process. To this end, after identifying the necessary infrastructures to develop either of these two phenomena, a mutual relationship between these two phenomena is discussed. It should be noted that the present study is descriptive and analytical and the evaluation is done through a questionnaire among some students of architecture at Damavand University. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence parameters and interactive thinking prerequisites for developing creative skills in architectural design process

Get PDFFor a long time, the sense of sight has been regarded as the greatest sense of the human being and it is the most powerful transitional sense which plays a significant role in understanding other emotions. On the other hand, according to the world-wide experience of the perception process and its results, there are some differences between the normal people and the blind people. This subject has been independently investigated by many researchers, but without the full attention of the blind perception processes and their associated mechanisms, no interventions and planning can be undertaken for the improvement of the environmental quality of this group. In this regard, in the form of an experimental activity, by writing a syllabus extracted from the curriculum and topics by the Ministry of Science's Planning Supreme Council and by applying appropriate and adaptable approaches to the physical condition of the blind students, basic architectural training is considered for them. The findings of this study were analyzed by inferential analysis of T-test through comparing the analysis of pre and post-tests of the training courses and then by analyzing the results and measuring the significance level of the results. The findings showed that using basic architectural training methods can have a significant effect on the quality and quantity of blind people's perception from the architectural spaces.

Application of Comedy and Satire in the Epic Theater: The Analysis of the Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht
Get PDFComedy, satire, ridicule, and humor, in general, stem from a tragedy. Wherever weeping does not suffice for the tragic fate of mankind, humor or comedy takes on this task by making people laugh. It is not in vain that typical theatrical emoticons are displayed as two smiling and weeping faces. Tragedy and comedy are two opposing but interconnected aspects that have defined theater since the beginning of history. In this article, we will see how the epic theater, like the modern theater that crashed down the Aristotelian criterion in ancient theater, has used comical elements of comics (satire and comedy) in its structure to transcend features such as catharsis and the strong Aristotelian plot and turn the play into a means for making the audience aware of their position in the modern world. The main tool of epic theater for the realization of anti-Aristotelian theater is an interruption to keep the audience from being trapped and submissive to the plot and to make him/her contemplate. Comedy is an element can distance the audience from identifying himself/herself with tragedy
