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.
