Abstract
The hierarchy in architecture is an attempt to express the concept of transition and the gradual aspect of the process of perception. This principle is well-known as one of the fundamental principles in traditional art and is consistent with the hierarchy of being above its material level. This principle proposes, in the order of reaching a space, the fundamental pattern of connection, transfer and acquisition, which expresses the aspect of exploiting the acquisition of space. In this regard, the mosque is one of the buildings in which the existence of the principle of hierarchy is very necessary in such a way that the concept of garment from the appearance to the inner part as the most important function of the mosque, is represented by the principle of hierarchy. However, during different periods and over time, the presentation of this principle has been made in mosques built in different styles of Iranian architecture in different ways. In this regard, the present study tries to examine various styles of mosques in the history of Iranian architecture. Accordingly, 16 mosques of four styles including Khorasani, Razi, Azari and Esfahani styles (each of the 4 mosques) are selected as case examples. By analyzing their spatial structure based on existing documents, three dimensions of the hierarchy include the hierarchy The shape, size, and location of each mosque in the style of these styles are discussed. The research method is descriptive-analytical based on historical documents. Using quantitative and qualitative methods including use of space syntax software, using scale meter to extract dimensions, and interviewing experts to analyze the facial features of the mosques in order to analyze the data. Has been used. Finally, the results of the research indicated that in Khorasani style, all three levels of hierarchy were at an elementary level in the mosques; in the mysterious style, the hierarchy of place was considered, but with time, this dimension in the styles Azeri and Esfahani; in the Azeri style, hierarchy of size was very much considered, and finally, in theIsfahan style, the hierarchy of form had the most visibility in the mosques.

Abstract
Traditional architecture is a term that has been used after the modernization period in Iran and has been discussed in the speeches of many architects, books and articles, and has been criticized in architecture schools. After the Islamic Revolution and the closure of foreign construction companies in Iran, many famous architectural companies were closed or semi-active. With the outbreak of war and economic sanctions, construction activities declined, and during the eight years of the war, most construction activities were carried out on a small scale, and government projects were often aimed at completing pre-revolutionary construction projects. Some of these few constructions have led to the production of traditional-style buildings that are important to identify and describe because they are intertwined with the culture, history, and transcendent quality of past architecture, and the degenerate identity of today's architectural buildings can be found. This is unknown research that, what styles and how many buildings are there, based on the ideology of these styles in order to continue the rich and traditional Iranian architecture, during the eight-year war. Achieve them is the main purpose of research. In this research, which is interpretive-historical method and analytical-comparative measures, architectural styles are introduced in this historical period to extract styles that have the characteristics of traditional Iranian architecture. Data collection is in the form of documentary studies that will identify buildings with traditional bodies. The results of the research show that during the Eight-Year War, buildings of three styles of "traditionalist architecture", "late modern architecture" and "postmodern architecture" were built in the country. In the meantime, modern architecture lacks traditional features in the body of buildings, but the two styles of traditionalism and postmodernism, that were designed and executed eleven prominent buildings based on their architectural theories, will have traditional Iranian architectural components. Finally, the physical characteristics of each will be analyzed.
