Mosque tells the religious mission of the society and its social mission. Actually, the mosque is like a mirror that shows your community's religious situation. The mosque's architecture is an interpretation of elite perceptions and the essence of subjectivity and the Muslim faith. From this respect the building of the mosque can tell the extent and nature of any Era. Furthermore, the architecture of the mosque has implications for the knowledge bases of Islam. And, therefore,Mosque Architect Understanding Dimension and Mental degrees of his time. This research has been done with The purpose of structural elements used in traditional and modern mosque and relationship with the child's mind. And argues this entry: Is will affect Structural elements of the mosque on the child's mind And how is it different from the traditional and modern mosques. In this study, The methods of research utilized is descriptive – analytical and the Methods of data collection are field investigation and library. Also, the statistical community has 96 children. In order to depict the children's perceptions of traditional and modern mosques, after their visit mosques have been applied to the analysis of the painting, pulp and toys. The finding of this research suggests that the elements of the traditional mosque and the child's mind, there is a very close relationship and deep. This result is very weak, about modern mosques that There are not traditional symbols in their mosque the mosque is recommended that the principles of the Prophet in the mosques.

The relation between texture, pattern and massing is a fundamental question in architecture. Classical architecture, as Leon Battista Alberti states in De Re Ae dificatoria, Book VI, Chapter 2, is developed through massing and structure first; texture is added afterwards to give the bold massing and structure beauty [Rietherand and Baerlecken, 2008: 2]. This hierarchy has of course been challenged throughout architecture history.

In the literature review, most researchers have done focus on pattern of Islamic ornamentation based on the interior vision and exterior pattern effect is not considering by researchers. This paper will provide a different thinking of the relationship of massing and texture in Persian Architecture based on tower temple in Khorasan that built in Qaznavi and Saljoughi era.

After that, we consider the role of the ornamental pattern on shaping building structure. Since this research were done based on mathematic and geometric systems, the main research way in this paper is logical deduction.
One of the main important result of this research is the meaningful relationship between ornamental pattern and structural in Iranian Architecture.

Appropriate structural and physical design has been one of the climatic strategies of traditional houses in interacting with nature. Over many years, these houses have tested various types of designs and have now reached a stable structure and have obtained some reproducible principles. This way, not only have they affected the health of the users directly and positively, but also, they have prevented energy wastage, rectified the unhealthy conditions in internal spaces, reduced environmental crises, etc. These principles, however, have been disregarded in the structural aspects of spaces in the modern architecture. Bearing this in mind, the present study aimed to recognize the geometric and proportional patters as well as the standards being employed in the structures of central courtyard, winter halls, and the seasonal rooms designed based on the cold climate. The connections between various spaces were also investigated based on their structural features so that by comparing climatic criteria, we can get to a sustainable designing pattern based on the structural patterns. We can also recognize the most common nature-friendly spatial ratios in this region and make use of them to meet the needs of the modern era. In the current study, 12 traditional houses belonging to Qajar era were investigated. In so doing, the needed information was collected from the spaces affected by the cold climate via field observations and the obtained data were classified. Then using computational methods, logical reasoning, and qualitative as well as quantitative analyses, a series of geometric proportions and spatial relations were detected. The results of the analyses regarding the most common ratios, dimensions, and areas were indicative of the high compatibility of spatial patterns with the cold climate. More specifically, some spaces that are used for similar purposes in special seasons of the year have similar proportions and shapes. The differentiation between the spaces has only been limited to winter and summer. The details of the structures designed for winter have been attended to relatively more. Therefore, the structural patterns employed in the past can be used for designing buildings in the modern era. By doing so, we will be able to reduce most of the energy wastage.
