Traditional societies and religious and public buildings and cities will always have a special role in the expression of the sacred, mostly common values that exalted the purpose according to God and the truths of existence were in charge of With the advent of modernism and changing human relationship with the divine, while changing values and reduced it to a purely experimental purposes a substantial part of this important mission, the Museum was transferred to the emerging phenomenon. Contemporary Museum, an institution that has the object and effect of its connection with the universe, the data are incomplete understanding where another place to supply the above mentioned do not have. Phenomenological approach to the study of the logic of the museum features a variety of word origins and roots of garlic Genesis and evolution of the tradition of the modern concept of the museum deals. The results show that although the museum by providing a platform for the generation and transfer of knowledge is undeniable values, But the kind of understanding that comes from looking at the human-centered detail oriented and modern, as notable flaw is in need of revision. So in order to get closer to a true understanding of the concepts mentioned in Islamic culture and focus on its proper relationship to the human - nature of the museum and defined. Museums look at a system that is as special institution of the universe, In connection with its defined, is trying to link a range of natural history and natural places, with a verse approach towards spiritual and cultural - culture, memory and the representation In order to understand the growth and development of human life and reasonable relation to the actual creation step.

The major change processes that have taken place in recent centuries, affect the facade and its elements. These changes have caused variations in the visual appearance of buildings. However, throughout the history of the late Qajar dynasty and the early years of the Pahlavi reign, different architectural styles have been developed and they were evolving as societies changed over the centuries. In the history of Iranian architecture, there has never been a break with the history of architecture. But in the last century, the alien elements entered into the Iranian-Islamic architecture and there has been a change in the principles of architecture. In the late Qajar period, the process has been discontinued and the structure of the façades as well as other architectural features were being modified. At the beginning of the Qajar era, the presence of Western symbols was also important in the facades. External factors contribute towards the indigenous architecture of a region to a great extent. Extracting patterns from different Islamic periods can be used in modern architecture. After the glorious era of Safavid architecture, the Qajar period is the interface between the past and the future architecture. The nature of the exodus of traditional Iranian architecture during this period were undoubtedly influenced by the Constitutional Movement. However, the dynamics of the modernization in the Pahlavi era brought about changes in Iranian society. This study seeks to compare the views of different eras in accordance with the principles of Islamic architecture. The methodological approach of the research is mixed (quantitative and qualitative). The study is based on an interpretative-historical research strategy using library information resources, field observations, and questionnaire survey data. In this regard, the study of architectural styles and practices of each period, the quantitative comparison of the fundamental characteristics and indicators of Islamic architecture in urban façades, and functional units in different categories are discussed. Depending on the theoretical framework of the current research, seven indicators of Islamic architecture were obtained. These indicators include geometry, proportion, symmetry, harmony, dynamics, order and rhythm, and unity in plurality. In the next step, three different buildings were chosen and made subject to a systematic inquiry. 42 students and 9 faculty members of architecture and planning were selected to study the characteristics of each building. After the pilot work was completed, the questionnaire was distributed to the respondents. Finally, the important attributes were determined in each building. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the change of architecture can be interpreted according to the intellectual architecture of its era. Therfore, only a physical change could not ultimately lead to a structural change in style.

Nowadays, the nessecity of urban decade regeneration is one of the most important issues because of their problems and increase of exodus from these areas. Beside that, renovation in these areas is almost profitable and without any supervision. On the other hand, Mixe use development is known as a key factor in smart growth and new urbanism. Considering all these items, the aim of this paper is exploration and assesment of effective components of mixe use that could regenerate urban decade.
The methodology of paper is mixed method (qualitative and quantitative method).  At first, in the literature review, the components of mixe use and urban decade regeneration are identified simultaneously with descriptive-analytic method. Then, the systematic structure is drawn for them and the frequencies of these components in the literature review are derivated. After that, the most important effective components of mixe use (and also those that have high frequency) that relates to urban decade regeneration are extracted. In this step, the survey methodology and case study research was done. The researcher-made questionnaire that is formed based upon those extracted components were filled out in Sirous neighborhood in Tehran as a case study.The sample size is 120 persons and is selected via cluster sampling. The datas are analysed by SPSS. The results show that diversity in typology of housing, pedestrianism, vertical or horizontal mixe use are respectively have the most effect on urban decade regeneration in Sirous neighborhood. At the end, the correrational methodology was done. The resulst of that, confirmed the conclusion of discriptive statistics.
