Abstract
There are close relationships between hidden structures of mosques and unseen concepts embodied in Persian language and literature of Iran that show that construction of famous mosques in Iran, especially in Isfahan Style are immortal and timeless. A question arises in this context as to what factors have led to the manifestation of unseen concepts in the architecture of Isfahan mosques objectively? In this regard, this research aims to answer the questions raised, especially in the mosque of Isfahan and tries to address the factors that led to the manifestation of the unseen in this building. The research method is the qualitative and describes the case study by introspection and grounded theory. The method refers to the unseen sources of Persian literature of Iran Hafez's and Mulavi's lyrics to extract unseen concepts then introspective descriptions of case study are presented as internal perceptions of the manifestation of concepts in the architecture of the mosque of Isfahan.The emergence of The Unseen Nature of existence is Divine Hidden Manifestation in the mirror of architecture of the place-time of worship can be a container of intuition of unseen realms of existence. The paradigmatic allegorical immortal language of unseen architecture in Jamé Mosque of Isfahan is full of glimpses of witnesses in different periods, in desire to intuit unseen realities. In this mosque, concepts derived from the Hafiz's and Mulavi's poems as persons who have indwelled in unseen realm and speak about the realities allegorically that can be employed as esoteric meanings of architecture with their manifestation in place and time. This research is done with hope to use the unseen meanings in mosque architecture to upgrade them as reminder of unseen realities and in a higher level as unseen places.

Abstract
Cognition towards creation and perception process of architecture is an important and complicated subject of architectural realm. Despite numeral related researches of recent decades, some of the aspects of this subject are still unknown. Considering the fact that proper cognition of this process could create the groundwork of quality improvement in architectural pieces and will help to find solutions for many of the architects’ assumed problems, the issue of this research is about reviewing the structure of creation and perception process in architectural pieces on the basis of transcendent wisdom. In order to do this, the strategy of logical reasoning has been selected. At the first step of this research, an accurate description of human, existence and their aspects and capacities is defined, and then the interaction between human and existence and its refection on creation and perception process in architectural pieces is analyzed on the basis of transcendent wisdom as the theoretical foundation of this research. Since transcendent wisdom asserts on the fact that God created the human as himself when it got to the sense of creativity, and that the most perfect creation of God is the world of existence, this research will also review the creation process of the world, making a pattern to define the creation and perception process in architectural pieces in five steps. The main components of this structure include: the soul grade of architect and spectator, and their Appearance powers (vision, smell, hearing, taste, touch) and their internal powers (Hes-E-Moshtarak, Motesarefeh, Vahemeh, imagination, memory), Architectural categories (form, function, meaning, design & construction, tissue and cohesion, mood and will), and quadripartite needs of human (physical needs, psychical needs, rational needs, spiritual needs)
Finally, Identifying the effective factors of this process on the quality of architectural pieces will lead to presented suggestions of this research which can improve the quality of this process. Results show that by considering the comprehensive foundations of Islamic thoughts as the theoretical foundation of Architectural researches will help to suggest solutions for complicated problems of architectural realm.

Abstract
If we consider the main mission of architects to be "organizing the place of human life in the context of the environment", then understanding "man and the environment and the relationship between the two" will be the basis of their design decisions. This knowledge includes both areas of "beings and musts" that if it is based on "intellect and revelation", the resulting architectural principles can be rational and Islamic, and the architectural works based on it can also be called "Islamic architecture". So far, various views on Islamic architecture have been proposed, the origins of which can be categorized from two sides. On the one hand, Islamologists have moved towards the principles and principles of architecture by using Islamic sources, and on the other hand, architects and urban planners have left their specialized position in search of Islamic architectural principles by referring to these sources. This research begins with the aim of proposing a "unifying and efficient" structure to explain the relationship between "architecture and Islam" and seeks a comprehensive model for combining and composing the components of the two categories. Our question is, "How can Islamic teachings be used comprehensively and practically in architecture?" The direction of the research is that while explaining the two categories of "Islam and architecture" with the method of content analysis and logical reasoning, an attempt is made to compile the basic concepts of these two categories by modeling. The research findings indicate that Islamic teachings can be classified into three areas: "theoretical and practical wisdom and Additional wisdom". Architecture can also be explained from three perspectives: "systemic, philosophical, strategic", the common chapter of which is the four main pillars in architecture. The combination of these two categories (three fields of Islamic wisdom and four components of architecture) provides a good capacity to organize a "school of Islamic architecture". The result is a tabular structure with 40 cells, the content of which must be supplemented by the teachings of Islamic wisdom, and can be useful in "guiding Islamic architectural research." The result of the research will be to present a unifying model to the set of views in the form of a relatively comprehensive structure, which is one of the preconditions for the formation of the "Islamic-Iranian school of architecture" on the eve of the second step of the revolution.

Abstract
This research is a Qur'anic review that examines the effects of ethics on architecture from the Holy Qur'an’s point of view with the goal of introducing logical theoretical principals of ethical architecture. In order to reach the research goal, this research conducts the Induction, deduction and reverse extraction of research’s resulted theoretical concepts based on Aristotle's formal logic. The main question of this article is how theoretical principles of ethical architecture can be extracted from the Holy Qur'an on the grounds of Aristotelian logic? Given the priority of avoiding unethical issues over the acquisition of ethical virtues in the religion of Islam and the architectural position as an arbitrary act of human being that influences the inner attributes of the individual and the surrounding society, unethical issues can be considered as the most important factors in the formation of ethical principles for architecture. The unethical issues mentioned in the Holy Quran determine these principles from the point of view of the Muslim scripture and provides backbone of understanding the principles of ethical architecture. This research studies documents and resources based on a logical reasoning and Interpretative analytical approach. Research findings are validated using semi-structured interview techniques and indicate that experts validate the completeness and adequacy of the resulted theoretical principles and the logical process of this research. Research results include seven theoretical principles for ethical architecture; 1) Architecture should be a remembrance of God. 2) Architecture should be a tool of respect for its consumers and lack self- glorification over them. 3) Architecture should be goal-oriented towards the needs of future generation. 4) Architecture should eliminate social gaps and be a symbol of equality and modesty. 5) Architecture should create balance between human needs, pleasures and desires. 6) Architecture should answer human demands on the grounds of an economical and naturalistic approach. 7) Architecture should include structural strength with the acknowledgment of human lifetime limitations. The result of this research presents a coherent logical extraction of ethical architecture from the Holy Quran, which can be considered in the fields of theory and practice by academics and architects.

Abstract
Gender has a key role in Islamic thought and considers it as an aspect should be trained. Now a days in light of psychological and social studies, there are more information about gender differences. These differences influence education and training via “gender identity” and “sex-typing”. So it’s essential to consider gender differences in out door open spaces design. The goal of this study concentrated on the effect of gender differences in Islamic thought on outdoor open space design. Reviewing mental differences and growing and structural aspects between boys and girls, we have built a frame for open interview which concluded to Delphi process. The study is a qualitative and operational and conducted a Delphi process between 7 psychologists and 15 architecture experts. The result is an applicable list of architectural considerations for outdoor planning. Using hot and bright colors, suitable areas for congregation, simple geometry, curved corners and miniature elements can be suggested for girls. Mild colors, encounter space, sophisticated geometry, expert and job acquaintance dedicated space, different levels, ballgame space are suitable for girls.

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 issue of the ultimate goal in Islamic architecture, contrary to contemporary views, is not so vague, and to consider "divinity" as this goal would be less controversial. However, this term can take on very variable meanings, and the main issue of the present study is to refine the variable meanings and reach the correct framework from the perspective of Islam. This paper aims to study the role of nurturing architecture from new angles and make its connection with the spiritual dimension of human life clearer. In search of a new theory for reading the mosque in Islam, this paper first criticizes the aesthetic and epistemological approach to the role of the mosque from the perspective of the traditional text and as an approach that places the body or space of the mosque in the position of the spirituality and points out that it lacks the necessary authenticity from an Islamic point of view. Then, by proposing an "instrumental" approach to the role of the mosque in achieving the spirituality instead of a goal, the issue of the relationship between the concept of the mosque and the philosophical discussion of technology can be raised, which opens a new window to understanding the relationship between Islam and architecture. Therefore, while creating a new possibility to include Islamic principles in the design of the mosque, in terms of preventing religious distortions in the mosque and other religious spaces, it can also lead to a more effective approach. In this study, among the five architectural connections as a means of presence, the background connection of the most compatible situation with the Islamic requirements in the field of the mosque is advanced, the design consequences of which should be examined more carefully in the future.

Abstract
Thought that has had an Iranian identity is a linking that was lost in the formation of cultural identity of the contemporary spaces that can have been a role in the architecture, and urban planning and be transfer to the future. There are concepts of wisdom over the time that it cannot reach to its sublime place with the superficial interpretations. This article seeks this question that what are the relation among the concepts of Molla-sadea- Shirazi's philosophical viewpoints and how does it interpret in the urban spaces? The purpose of this essay is to identify and analyze this polymath's points of view, as well as their applicability to the adaptation of a distinctive Iranian urban design. It is possible to create Iranian architectural and urban spaces and maintain them in the spaces as a kind of an Iranian cultural identity unit by examining the notions of wisdom and corresponding to the place. This study is conducted on a grounded theory method, and contains logical reasoning with a content-analysis approach. Using ATLAS.ti, it and codding of data, also it contains summarizing and analyzing the original texts, the studies of urban design, questionnaires. The main concepts were coded in three stages in open, axial and selected codes. The concepts of Iranian Bazaar with the axial codes are correlated to the concepts of selected codes. The concepts of unity, substantial motion, gradation, and mimesis are divided as selective codes. One of the findings of research shows that “Vaajeb-al-vojood” the existent by necessity, just like its originality and personal unity has the unity of gradation with the beings of world, its intensity and weakness is different that the entities of this unity are formed with the substantial motion of the creature. The formation of this unity in the urban space that emerges can be understood spatially as substantial motion in the form of fluidity and dynamism of the space, gradation in the form of hierarchy in the space, introversion creates unity of space and integration with the surrounding urban context, and mimesis of Sadra. Beyond the word of imitation with connecting the imagination of the artist to the world of idea and mimesis of this word, the integrated architectural and urban space emerge

Abstract
Through acknowledging the inclination of the world to transform around the existential axis of the Imams of Athar (a.s.) as the embodiment of God and models of flawless humanity, the ideal architectural markers of sacred shrines should be understood. Believers seek God's face in the Haram, which is a location of heavenly grace. In sacred shrines, signs and symbols of revelation are significant because Ashura is a portal of light leading to the interior of the Qiblah and a sign ensuring that the path is clear. Islamic art and architecture are visible representations of God's word, with spiritual-ritual inscriptions being the most common symbols that, by making truths manifest, provide a bridge between the material and the meaningful worlds. This article addresses the question of what conceptual-form model has been used to express the original religious concepts in the epic-religious architecture of this sacred path, with reference to religious-spiritual inscriptions as a permanent medium from the door of the Qibla to the dome of the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussein (AS). And the sacred shrine's dome, which represents Ahrar's quest for justice and serves as a point of connection between the earth and the sky, Using the analytical-interpretive method to take field observations and take pictures, it is determined that the sacred inscriptions of the Holy Shrine are set as a symbolic medium corresponding to the uprising of Imam Hussein (a.s.) in order to understand the text of the inscriptions in the dome and to know the type of writing and artistic format. The employment of Surah verses "Saf," "Yasin," and "Fajr" in the direction of the Qiblah to the inside of the dome has been more noticeable, despite the word of majesty "Allah," which is located in the center of some inscriptions. Surah "Fajr" in particular, which is a Surah about the holy existence of Imam Hussein (AS), has been recorded in the inscription of a scroll attached to the dome's land (the height of the leg and land is approximately 5 meters, and it is approximately 14 meters to the top and with a circular geometry system). The inscriptions also make the visit to Ashura and the holy place more evident. In 1373 AH, the renowned Qajar scribe Mohammad Hossein Shahid of Mashhad created a kind of calligraphy known as Tholut calligraphy. During this time, he was also successful in writing inscriptions for the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.). During the building phase, there was also discussion over the idea of four tranji inscriptions on the dome's leg, which would thank the Lord for the success of decorating and gilding the dome. Finally, taking into account the current plan to promote the holy dome of Imam Hussein (a.s.), this article suggests adding a mention of the unity and brotherhood between the two nations of Iran and Iraq in the inscriptions on the dome's leg, as well as repeating Surah Fajr in the leg's scroll inscription.

Abstract
Based on the principle of unity of existence and its levels, all creatures have descended from the divine essence through stages. During these stages, all creatures become to exist by passing a journey from the world of meaning to the world of form. This journey causes each creatures to make an extent of benefit from the truth of meaning (on the base of Attribute of Qadr). This extent of epiphany of truth of meaning in artifact should liberate man from formal veils and guide him to the pure source of meaning. In this regard, man should prepare the context for this task by recognizing the truth of the meaning and the process of its descent. Therefore, this research tries to first: understand the structure of human processes (Salaam theory), and then, examine the possibility of synchronizing it with the process of descent of meaning. this may help to further manifestation of this spiritual source. For this reason, at first it is tried to explain the theoretical framework of the research with an interpretative-analytical approach. This framework is the process of the descent of meaning through divine action in the creatures. Then by explaining the theory of “Salaam” and using the method of logical reasoning, an effort is made to adapt this theory with the process of Devine action. Then, during the examination of this adaptation in an especial case, it will concluded that: in order to manifest the truth of meaning in human artifacts, there should be a certain amount of interaction between" Asma al-fe’l" based on four Types of relations: marriage, confrontation, difference and cooperation. this amount should be recognized by professional ijtihad and used in the creation of artifacts.

Abstract
Mosque is the most significant body in Muslim architecture, and geometry and ornamentals are through the most important elements of the mosque architecture. In addition to the geometric role and beauty of mosque configuration, considering the mundain and spiritual aspects of mosques, it also conveys the meanings of Allah's beauty and gelorious names and attributes in the form of a physical configuration. This type of attitude towards geometry and ornamental decorations is recognized as semantic and virtue-oriented architecture. therefore, the main issue is the relationship between the geometry and ornamental decoration of the mosques with the quality improvement of the space of the nave of mosques. This relationship creates the necessity and importance of the geometry and ornamental decorations in architectural design of mosques at which the sprituality aspects must be considred in addition to the appearnce and mundain configuration. In this research, various methods such as document research libraray, Delphi, and case studies were utilized as well as the interview tools, questionnaires, surveys, and statistical analysis software. In order to collect the research-required information, some surveys interviews and questionnaires were conducted and distributed among the related experts within six historical and contemporary eminent mosques, and the data were analyzed using statistical softwares. Conclusively, in addition to improving the quality of the physical configuration, the results indicate that paying attention to geometry and ornamental decorations of mosques causes the increase in spritual manifestation of meaning and beauty in mosques.

Abstract
In the last three decades, many studies have been done in the design process. In some of these studies, there is a psychological or philosophical view. In Iran, there are few examples of a philosophical approach to the design process. One of the important attitudes in global and Iranian attitudes, which also has a strong philosophical root in Western thought; The attitude is Dualism. This research tries to clarify the influence of Mulla Sadra's philosophy in the design process. This research has a practical purpose. This research wants to provide designers with results compatible with philosophical foundations. Argumentative-analytical research method is based on philosophical rules. This research first has an overview of architectural design processes. The components obtained from these processes are these doubles: "implicit knowledge-scientific knowledge"; "Unconsciousness - self-awareness"; "divergence-convergence"; "Black box-transparent box" and "normative-proof theories". Each of these duals has an important role in the formation of the design process. These doubles are formed under the philosophical theories of structuralism or deconstruction and with the older roots of Hegelian dialectics; Sometimes psychological views such as "conscious" and "unconscious" play a role in them. The current research defines all doubles with two components: "simultaneous birth of part and whole from within each other"; This definition is obtained from Mulla Sadra's Basit al-Haqiqa rule. The result of the research is: the part-whole duality is the product of the experiences of the first to third generation of the design process. Each part of this dual is used in different parts of the design; So both parts can be used in the design process. Based on this, each architectural component in each part of the design stages can be examined from two different aspects and can be effective on architectural design processes: 1- It looks at itself from the aspect that is a part and is in plurality; 2- From that aspect which is the whole, it looks beyond itself (to its simple self) and is in unity. The innovation of this research is the navigation of the definition of "whole from part" and "part from whole" which probably creates necessary and valuable paths for the design process. It can be a comprehensive look between three generations of architectural design process and define the fourth generation.

Abstract
Water has a vital role in human life, as the source and symbol of life, particularly in the Islamic community. Poor management of water resources in recent decades has posed a serious threat to the physical aspect of life in Islamic countries, which are predominantly located in dry regions. Moreover, the weakness of functional and symbolic position of water in Islamic-Iranian architecture has been the consequence of this situation. Water have a tangible and essential role not only in the physical aspect of human life (external world), it is also closely connected with the spiritual aspect of life (inner world), assisting individuals in stages of felicity (sa'adah) and perfection (kamal) according to transcendent theosophy. With its richness linked with spiritual, sacred, and mystical manifestations, Islamic architecture represents water both in its external world (zahir) and inner world (batin). In terms of the former,issue water unites with the real space for the purposes of balancing and regulating the climate conditions; in terms of the latter, issue it merges with the sacred atmosphere of the architecture. Therefore, water is one of the most valuable, universal, and structural elements of Islamic architecture. In Mulla Sadra’s view, water can be considered as one of the symbolic cores of perfecting motion of life with regard to his doctrine of substantial motion. The Holy Quran mentions different forms of the role of water in witnessing and being of humanities more than 63 times. The manifestations of such intuitive quantitative instances were studied based on the stages of Sadrai perception, namely the sensory, the imaginary, and the intellectual. As shown in the theoretical framework, this analysis revealed the generalizability of universal vital, sacred, biological, and technological values to architecture and urban spaces. Accordingly, beauty, vitality, and life in the general sense and life in the sense of becoming Godliness were the ultimate findings of studying the function of water in Islamic architecture.
Exploring the Epistemic Pattern in Taqwa-based Architectural Design of Home Using a Network Approach

Abstract
The trend of population growth in the country over the past few decades and the cultural capture and failure to adhere to religious recommendations, on the other hand, have caused the concept of "home" inhuman living space design to distance itself from its inherent essence. However, by relying on rules and concepts extracted from verses and narrations, it is possible to achieve a systematic truth in designing the quality of home space so that the expectations of a "Tayeb" home can be provided in a network of interconnected principles. Therefore, the present research attempts to introduce a conceptual model for a "Tayeb" home based on a descriptive-analytical approach emphasizing the network pattern proportionate to the system of innate, psychological, and physical needs. In this regard, two significant concepts of love and creativity in natural human needs are guiding factors for other human needs related to living space. Suppose these two tendencies are actualized in the correct path of nature. In that case, there is always a tendency towards perfection and, consequently, the realization of unity in human living space, resulting in divine promise or what is known as a "good life."

Abstract
The article seeks a meaningful relationship between design-oriented academic courses in Iran, such as architecture and urban design courses, and three normative characteristics namely “Islamization”, “indigenization” and “up-to-dating” as a standard imparted by the Cultural Revolution Development Council in Iran. For this, the article uses ‘Knowledge Mobilization’(KM) as a key global concept to apply those three qualities. Knowledge Mobilization means more application of knowledge or better use of it, which means reducing the distance between theory and practice. Four steps are recommended in improving the quality of research and increasing its impact in the society:
1. Ground the research question or problem in concrete and observable phenomena in order to appreciate and situate its multiple dimensions and manifestations. 2. Develop plausible concepts and models that represent the main aspects of the observed phenomena and that thereby provide a base for new theories to address the central research question. 3. Use appropriate methods to design the research and obtain empirical evidence of the concepts and plausible models for examining the question about the phenomenon being examined. 4. Apply and disseminate the research findings to address the research question from the perspectives of different academic and practitioner users (Van De Ven & Johnson, 2006, p. 810)
Examining the impact of this global concept with common initiatives in Iran with the titles of efficiency, Islamic, ruling, local and modernization has not been compared so far. Also, in intermediate knowledge, for example, between the disciplines of art, technical sciences, humanities and social sciences, such as the disciplines of architecture and urban planning, which have a "design-oriented" nature, the distinction of this concept and its application has not been made much either in the world or in Iran. These fields of academia include workshops and studio course formats which makes them totally apart from the other disciplines. The research thus aims to find more effective methods to apply the norms into the courses.
The relationship between the educational system, the experts or professional environment and the organizations related to urban management and most importantly the residents and the people can enrich the employment, development and participation. Also, the free presence of academics, professors, and students can introduce world literature and theories to the people with representative planning and implement scientific dimensions. In this way, establishing a relationship between the university and the profession causes employment and more efficiency of students' activities, and their efforts are prevented from being wasted (Noorian and Rezaei, 2015).
Abdolhamid Noghreh-kar has shown that the relationship of "Islamic wisdom" with human processes, including the creation of works of art, architecture and urban planning, has five stages (idea, motivation, method, product, effect). Each stage has its sources and foundations, which identifies the direction, goals and results of the whole process. Therefore, the realization of a new civilization with an Islamic-Iranian identity cannot be an imitation of the current situation, the past or other civilizations. Rather, each stage should choose its sources from the Islamic school, i.e. Islamic beliefs and teachings, rulings, ethics, and Ijtihad solutions. According to his "Theory of Salam", every architectural work can be evaluated from two spiritual and engineering dimensions - each in six factors. The spiritual dimension has general, qualitative and top-down characteristics, timeless and placeless conditions. But engineering dimensions have minor features, slightly from bottom to top and interrelated to time and place conditions. According to this theory, every architectural work goes through five stages of creation and in each stage it can be evaluated according to six factors. Out of these five stages of creation, three are knowledge and insight, intention and motivation, the practical method related to the architect. The fourth step is the architectural effect itself and the fifth step is its effect on the audience. Therefore, in evaluating works, all five stages should be measured with six spiritual factors and six engineering factors. This theory was proposed to explain the road map of modern Islamic civilization in the working group of art, architecture and urban planning (Naghrekar, 1401; 1395).
The research method is a combination of in-depth interviews and theoretical saturation. First, the texts related to "Knowledge Mobilization" as well as "Experiences in teaching these disciplines" from the 1950s have been reviewed and strategies have been extracted. Accordingly and based on the three fundamental characteristics of the aforementioned council, the coding content has reached theoretical saturation with the participation of professors and students. It has been determined that Islamization includes localization and up-to-dating goals. To achieve those three, "Knowledge Mobilization" is vital, which is accelerated with the help of "Studio". The link between courses, courses with the profession, society and global science is one of the priorities in the revision of the pedagogy. The relationship of "Islamization" with the designer's social role; " indigenization " with the link between the studio and the society; "up-to-dating" with the cooperation between designers and other professions, the use of modern technology, the publication of texts and the establishment of more research centers. The idea of mobilization of knowledge in the form of a workshop system, planned meetings, use of professors' publications, skill approaches of courses is proposed in the form of pedagogies. The article highlights that the purpose of the Islamization , indigenization and updating in the matter of education should be "Knowledge Mobilization”, i.e. production, publication, exchange of knowledge, provided that it causes change and improvement of society's policies. This mobilization of knowledge in schools of architecture and urban design will take place with a more effective studio format of teaching.

Apply and disseminate the research findings to address the research question from the perspectives of different academic and practitioner users
Examining the impact of this global concept with common initiatives in Iran with the titles of efficiency, Islamic, ruling, local and modernization has not been compared so far. Also, in intermediate knowledge, for example, between the disciplines of art, technical sciences, humanities and social sciences, such as the disciplines of architecture and urban planning, which have a "design-oriented" nature, the distinction of this concept and its application has not been made much either in the world or in Iran. These fields of academia include workshops and studio course formats which makes them totally apart from the other disciplines. The research thus aims to find more effective methods to apply the norms into the courses.
The relationship between the educational system, the experts or professional environment and the organizations related to urban management and most importantly the residents and the people can enrich the employment, development and participation. Also, the free presence of academics, professors, and students can introduce world literature and theories to the people with representative planning and implement scientific dimensions. In this way, establishing a relationship between the university and the profession causes employment and more efficiency of students' activities, and their efforts are prevented from being wasted (Noorian and Rezaei, 2015).
Abdolhamid Noghreh-kar has shown that the relationship of "Islamic wisdom" with human processes, including the creation of works of art, architecture and urban planning, has five stages (idea, motivation, method, product, effect). Each stage has its sources and foundations, which identifies the direction, goals and results of the whole process. Therefore, the realization of a new civilization with an Islamic-Iranian identity cannot be an imitation of the current situation, the past or other civilizations. Rather, each stage should choose its sources from the Islamic school, i.e. Islamic beliefs and teachings, rulings, ethics, and Ijtihad solutions. According to his "Theory of Salam", every architectural work can be evaluated from two spiritual and engineering dimensions - each in six factors. The spiritual dimension has general, qualitative and top-down characteristics, timeless and placeless conditions. But engineering dimensions have minor features, slightly from bottom to top and interrelated to time and place conditions. According to this theory, every architectural work goes through five stages of creation and in each stage it can be evaluated according to six factors. Out of these five stages of creation, three are knowledge and insight, intention and motivation, the practical method related to the architect. The fourth step is the architectural effect itself and the fifth step is its effect on the audience. Therefore, in evaluating works, all five stages should be measured with six spiritual factors and six engineering factors. This theory was proposed to explain the road map of modern Islamic civilization in the working group of art, architecture and urban planning (Naghrekar, 1401; 1395).
The research method is a combination of in-depth interviews and theoretical saturation. First, the texts related to "Knowledge Mobilization" as well as "Experiences in teaching these disciplines" from the 1950s have been reviewed and strategies have been extracted. Accordingly and based on the three fundamental characteristics of the aforementioned council, the coding content has reached theoretical saturation with the participation of professors and students. It has been determined that Islamization includes localization and up-to-dating goals. To achieve those three, "Knowledge Mobilization" is vital, which is accelerated with the help of "Studio". The link between courses, courses with the profession, society and global science is one of the priorities in the revision of the pedagogy. The relationship of "Islamization" with the designer's social role; " indigenization " with the link between the studio and the society; "up-to-dating" with the cooperation between designers and other professions, the use of modern technology, the publication of texts and the establishment of more research centers. The idea of mobilization of knowledge in the form of a workshop system, planned meetings, use of professors' publications, skill approaches of courses is proposed in the form of pedagogies. The article highlights that the purpose of the Islamization , indigenization and updating in the matter of education should be "Knowledge Mobilization”, i.e. production, publication, exchange of knowledge, provided that it causes change and improvement of society's policies. This mobilization of knowledge in schools of architecture and urban design will take place with a more effective studio format of teaching.

Abstract
how to achieve the perception of the architectural space,especially the subject of the current research,namely,Allahverdi Khan portico,considering the Mulla Sadra’s theory of substantial motion and provide a new interpretation of these perceptions?The main goal of the current research is to investigate the steps of Space perception in the Allahverdi Khan portico,with looking at the concept of the Mulla Sadra’s theory of substantial motion.The current research is qualitative, analytical-descriptive,and the research strategy is a case study with an interpretive approach. The results of the studies have shown that the human encounter from the entrance to its center is based on the perspective of spatial experience,which has led to the improvement of the sensory perceptions and spatial experience of the pilgrims from the portico and its spaciousness.While it provides a platform for the discovery and inner intuition of the observer,it will be guided to the most complete one according to the perceptual.
Background and Objective:
Movement in space is a requirement of architectural perception. Philosophy also considers the factor of movement as a basis for understanding the nature. In such a way that Islamic philosophers emphasized this importance and considered movement as having perfection and purpose. The main goal of the current research is to investigate the steps of Space perception in the Allahverdi Khan portico, with looking at the concept of the Mulla Sadra’s theory of substantial motion.
Methods:
The current research is qualitative, analytical-descriptive, and the research strategy is a case study with an interpretive approach. This article examines the comparison of motion and perception in philosophy and architecture by analyzing the perceptual experience of the observer in Allah Vardi Khan's portico.
Results:
The results of the studies have shown that the spatial hierarchy in the Allahverdi Khan portico, the lack of variety of materials in the interior space of this portico and the human encounter from the entrance to its center is based on the perspective of spatial experience, which has led to the improvement of the sensory perceptions and spatial experience of the pilgrims from the portico and its spaciousness. While it provides a platform for the discovery and inner intuition of the observer, it will be guided to the most complete one according to the perceptual experience.
Conclusion:
According to the type of spaces and the movement of the pilgrims in the space of the portico, it should be stated that the spatial experience is multi-sensory and the body of this portico is built and decorated in a way that involves the five senses of the pilgrims.
