Abstract
The period spanning middle of Qajar era to the first decade of Pahlavi is a part of Iran contemporary architecture which is influenced by inevitable alterations caused by modernity. Modern forms and figures have gradually changed spatial hierarchy of houses and their structure and consequently have led to a combinational style. A brief survey of spaces and chief elements of traditional houses of Sanandaj demonstrates these changes quite well. This paper tries to shed light on the prevalent style of spatial hierarchy of house entrances in transitional time period from tradition to modernity in Sanandaj. This research has been conducted using a theoretical approach and by a historical-interpretational method. In theoretical part, a qualitative approach is adopted and considering the literature history, effective factors on spatial quality evaluations are analyzed. The practical part of the research is carried out in two phases and by taking case studies under account. In this viewpoint, the theoretical part is firstly a brief appraisal of the architecture of the historical eras of Qajar and Pahlavi, evolution criteria and social revolutions of those periods as well. Moreover, assessment of houses based on historical periods has been done utilizing field studies, local survey, photography, house plan depicting and existing documents and plots. Secondly, based on acquired field and librarian information, all qualified houses for this research are compared and analyzed to attain a comprehensive understanding of their entrance spatial hierarchy. Findings of the research indicate that there has been a hierarchy in entrance of houses with traditional architecture pertinent to the needs of residents which is neglected to some extent by the designers in Pahlavi period. In conclusion it is admitted that by intermediate spaces, alongside the provision of confidentiality, it would be possible to achieve a proper definition of private and semi-private spaces in houses. Furthermore, disruption in functions and entities of other spaces could be avoided, which in turn leads to introducing a pattern for obtaining confidentiality; an inseparable principle of entity in Iranian architecture and culture.

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.
