Abstract

Since urban spaces are the focal point of the inhabitants of the earth, they can be considered the most appropriate area of manifestation of human culture, social communication and the history of nations, but today what is happening in Iranian cities is a departure from the rich cultural and ancient values of the inhabitants of this land and by a deeper look "reversal of the art of the times". There is no doubt that cityscape design has been very influential in the formation of cities. This urban component and its symbols reflect the character, function and culture of the city's inhabitants, and therefore the spiritual effects of the city are worthy of credit. This cityscape has not had a single concept in different literary, artistic, mystical and urbanization yet and its position in the field of urbanization is still unclear. One of the most important foundations of religious art is the consideration of meaning behind the face and appearance in such a way that the discovery of any meaning for man is in the form in which the meaning of it is manifested. Mysticism also places two dimensions of appearance and interior for each reality, and believes that the survival of meaning is not possible except through the form and what the mind can understand is a meaning that appears in the order of a form. But the issue that has been addressed in this study is whether this form and appearance are the same as the cityscape in urbanization? This research attempts to recreate this notion of architectural descriptive-analytical method by comparing different theories in various literary, mystical and urban areas in order to clarify the paradox in the concept of cityscape. In Persian, the word "image" means a face, a face or a state in the form of a human being that represents internal states, which is the same as the one used in the field of mysticism, and ultimately, the form and the meaning in the unity that is the face of the same meaning and The meaning is the same, but in the area of urbanization, various and contradictory interpretations of the term image have been brought about, which is far removed from the general meaning of cityscape; so that for some urban planners, cityscape is the subjective aspect of Urban Landscape , and everything that one perceives after viewing the perspective, cityscape knows, but some others introduce cityscape to the same face and appearance of City. According to the data of this research in the field of the concept of the word image in various literary, artistic, mystical and urban areas, it seems that the word Image has not been correctly equated in the field of urbanization. Regarding the purpose of this study, the insight of this contradiction of the concept of image in various fields of study, it can be concluded that in the field of urbanization, as in the literary and mystical areas, the concept of the word cityscape should be the same face and appearance of the city and the term cityscape And nature as the equivalent and perhaps new replacement for the urban landscape that is being used today in urban planning with a different conception. This phrase also expresses the face and the face of the city, and it mirrors the meaning of the appearance.

Abstract

Islamic architecture of Iran has passed one of the most prosperous periods in (10-13AH) centuries and the share of the geographical area of capital of Iran in most part of this period, that means the city of Isfahan, for many reasons in this glow has been very important. Although about this growth and prosperity and begin and end and its causes there is a difference of opinion, few people have doubted its existence. In this era until late Qajar period core form and art form were related and had common features in architecture and handicrafts and the coherence and harmony between them were evident. This relation is expressed with the concept of tectonic in the history of western architecture. The concept that theorists have defined it interaction between core form and art form in the context of historical culture. Gradually, this coherence and great thought with the arrival of new materials and construction methods were forgotten from late Qajar period and artistic and tectonic construction was reduced in buildings, and Iranian architecture faced a crisis. Criticism of Iranian today's architecture has been very pervasive in recent decades, Many researchers know the main cause of instability is in Lack of recognition of architectural history of Iran and its technical and artistic construction methods. On the other hand review of researches shows in the tectonic field less been paid to core form and art form of tectonics, so it is necessary to study it. The main research question is How tectonic conform and art form are related in architecture and handicrafts of Islamic Iran in (10-13H) centuries and their similarities and commonalities with the aim of understanding the tectonic rules of the Islamic architecture of Iran. for this reason in this article to recognize of wood tectonic based on interpretive epistemological paradigm, comparative reasoning and qualitative content analysis with explanatory orientation based on Gottfried Semper's theory has studied common wood tectonic features in architecture and handcraft in three levels, whole architecture (the whole building), intermedate level architectural components (column, roof edge and door and window) and small level in handcraft (pulpit, pen box, Kmanche, Tombak, mirror and boxes) in (10 – 13AH) centuries. Based on the theoretical basis of tectonics and considering that wood has been the most practical materials before the arrival of industrial steel in Iran and an important role had in the construction of load-bearing elements such as beams and columns and architectural and handicraft decorations. Wood tectonic is divided in terms of core forms to general forms and articulation and in terms of art forms
to decorative surface. This tectonic features in the collection of wooden handicrafts of Metropolitan museum, Isfahan cultural heritage organization and Islamic art sites is study that have the most affinity in terms of technique and art with wooden architecture in the mentioned period.Wood handicrafts are two types: wood handicrafts which are part of the furniture like the pulpit of Hazrat Abolfazl in Aran and Bidgol of Isfahan and handicrafts that produced as movable objects such pen box, Kmanche, Tombak, mirror and wooden decorative boxes. In wooden architecture on a large scale and wooden architectural elements (beams and columns, ceilings, roof edges and doors and windows) in the middle scale are examined tectonic components from the collection of buildings and wooden elements of this period. In some cases due to the scarcity of pictorial resources inevitably has been used from examples outside the geographical area of Isfahan but attention has been paid that this samples are comparable to effects that notable similarity have with the effects of Isfahan. Because Isfahan has been the capital of Iran, many exchanges has had different geographical areas of Iran and in this regard this utilization does not harm the results of the research. Studies and surveys show that some wooden handicrafts on a large and medium scale are similar with non-wooden architecture and elements such as windbreaks and minarets that most of this heterogeneity is on a large scale and in buildings with masonry materials. These cases have been studied in the sense that in identifying wood tectonic rules are very important. Comparative study of wood tectonic features in handicrafts and architecture in the mentioned period reveals that among core form (general forms and articulation) and art form, there are important similarities in handicrafts and architecture. Wood tectonic harmony is notable in handicrafts and architecture not only in terms of core form but also art form. Tectonic subscriptions that indicate the characteristics of technical and artistic construction in Iranian architecture indicates in Iranian architecture how the building begins and ends, articulation of surfaces and decorative surfaces in terms of formal-structure is done under tectonic rules. Formal-structural similarities of wood tectonic in three scales (macro, medium and micro scale) under the tectonic rules: exposure of form and space (connect to earth and sky), articulation (different materials joint, tongue and groove, sliding joint, wick corner, bar joint and convex corner joint) are tectonic technical principles and the rule of covering surfaces(mosaic surface, border, carving, and negative surfaces) are artistic rules that expresses same tectonic culture. Tectonic culture had similar construction manifestations in similar culture and similar construction techniques have used in different materials.

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.
