Sustainable Architecture in Traditional Houses of Kashan
Get PDFAs an environment where a person lives and grows from the beginning of her birth until her human behavior is formed, the house is very important in the affairs of human life and is considered an effective factor in human behavior. On the other hand, the rich culture of Islamic Iran and its architectural symbols in this land, along with the compatibility of that architecture with the nature of our country and its existing climatic conditions, doubles the need for Iranian architecture to respond to the material and spiritual needs of users. Therefore, the need to pay attention to the matter of house building requires that by examining the distinct patterns of desirable traditional housing in Iran, and especially the native housing specific to Kashan city, we can find suitable teachings for the house. According to the conducted research, it can be assumed that by using the mentioned patterns and adapting these patterns to the needs of the contemporary society, a sustainable residential design can be achieved in the city of Kashan. The present research method was to find out the design principles of sustainable houses in Kashan with the approach of recognizing and using the existing valuable models of traditional architecture in the hot and dry climate of Iran. It is considered research. The research method in the current study consists of documentary and library studies and documented survey measures on field research on the famous historical houses of Kashan city. The most important and top design indicators include three criteria with titles; The interaction of the audience with nature, responding to the needs of the audience and adapting to the local culture. By achieving these effective factors and finally setting them as a model, sustainable houses have been designed in the hot and dry climate of Kashan city
A Semiotic Study and Analysis of the Archetype of the Tree of Life in Contemporary Iranian Graphics

Investigation Nature-Inspired Strategies Attendance in Iranian Architectural Works during the Second Pahlavi Era
Get PDFThe study of architectural principles in different periods shows that nature has always played a significant role in architectural styles and human life. It is also possible to find a deep relationship between the salient features of society in the formation of architectural identity in the context of nature. Therefore, finding and investigating the relationship between architecture and nature's presence over time and how to use nature-inspired design strategies in architecture indicates the need for this research. This study aimed to study nature's attendance in some landmark works of the second Pahlavi era, to identify different approaches to looking at nature, its use, and the reasons for its emergence. The research was carried out with qualitative methods in two main sections: Step 1: Theoretical analysis to identify and classify the sociopolitical developments during the second Pahlavi Era, the key elements of natural strategies, and nature strategies attendance in architecture. Step 2: Use logical reasoning and a case study to determine the attendance of nature strategies, architectural layers, and systems, and the new discourses in the second Pahlavi Era. The studied superior architectural works have been selected based on the possibility of access to the necessary documents for data analysis. After presenting the research methodology, it develops the theoretical foundations of the research and then investigates the concept of nature and how it is present in the architecture of the second Pahlavi period. In the second Pahlavi period, the spread of modernism, political and structural changes in government, and the changing needs of society paved the way for explaining new discourses. These discourses are manifested in the form of traditionalism, historicism, and modernism. In this period, the manifestation of nature has been witnessed in different forms in architecture, which means that in 1941, the secondary appearance and especially the abstractive appearance was considered. But over time and in the years 1943 to 1952, the attention of architects has been drawn to the original appearance of nature, and the use of natural elements in a pristine form. This special attention to the primary appearance of nature continued until 1970. In the years 1970 to 1979, we see nature's secondary appearance becoming more prominent in architectural works

Representation of the Connection Between Literature and Art
Get PDFThe connection between art and literature has existed since ages, and the most important art of Iranians is the Persian literature. The first topic that every researcher focuses on in this field is the search among the links and similarities between literary and artistic texts from a visual point of view. Doubts between the writer views when structuring a prose or order and an artist who understands the structure of natural order and recreates it with his art. Such similarities generally evoke the historical connection between writers and artists. The knowledge that Rumi received in his relationship with Shams is no less than the knowledge that Van Gogh created from his relationship with his inner fake world. Sometimes Sohrab traveled between these two worlds. Farhad Kouh sculpts Biston and Nizami wrote it in prose. Rostam killed Sohrab and the coffee house painters depicted it. The researcher's mission is to discover these links, and reading texts, whether visual, musical or literary, through philosophers and theorists is the concern of every researcher. Of course, sometimes the authors' frank confessions and imitation make this (research and discovery) easier. In this research, we try to discover this ancient relationship and represent the link between literature and art. The research question is what kind of connection exists between literature and art, in response to the proposed hypothesis, it should be mentioned that there has been a connection between these two components for a long time, and literature is the reason for the approach of many artists. New strains of art have also become ecstatic. Of course, it should be noted that all social components and movements have become the way for the emergence of new arts and styles in art. To the extent that in some cases the names of artistic and literary styles have been the same in some cases
