The role and importance of the influence of geometry and mathematics in Iranian architecture since pre-Islamic times has been used in the form of technical (experimental) architecture and pattern (Mendel) as a practical application in the geometric arrangement of buildings. It has been observed in many buildings with sovereign, ceremonial-residential, and residential uses, respectively, of the social classes of the elite and the common people in ancient times and after Islam; the fourth to tenth centuries A.H., and the approach of influences in functional spaces and following early patterns in the Iranian architectural style is expressed as indoor and outdoor spatial functions. Studies of the course of historical developments show that residential architecture in Iran has resulted from the use of a formal pattern as a spatial arrangement in examples of buildings from three historical periods: ancient, traditional, and modern. In this research, data collection is library-based and the research method is interpretive-historical, descriptive-analytical. The aim of the research is to explain the impact of the developments of formal patterns in the form of architectural crafts, which is influenced by applied geometry and mathematics, which is reinforced by the studies of Iranian philosophers including Khwarizmi, Banu-musa, Abu al-WafaBuzjani, Ikhwan al-Safa, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi and Sheikh Bahai Also, since the beginning of the third century A.H., under the influence of mathematics and geometry discussions, following numbers and estimating distances, geometry in the form of the second dimension, the third dimension, and finally the architectural craft and mystical meanings and the journey and transcendence (rational-sensible) are reflected in the combination of the order of Platonic shapes and volumes in religious places. The results of the research show that the use of the basic pattern in residential buildings is influenced by the use of mathematics and geometry in Iranian formal and modular meanings, which had its initial origin in Chahar-Soffeh, four-iwans, andChahartaq, and is observed in the buildings of the Qajar period as the basis of spatial arrangement.

Introduction
Contemporary Iranian architecture is influenced by the culture and lifestyle of European and Western countries, with a gradual change in the functionalism of interior spaces in the form of eliminating small spaces with different functions and reducing the size of the building. Therefore, examining architecture through historical studies of architectural periods of pre-Islamic and traditional buildings by selecting different examples and even paying attention to the analysis in the theories of Iranian architectural philosophers can help in providing a suitable explanation of the position of applied geometry and mathematics in the form of a formal pattern and achieving the goal of modular patterns resulting from the unity of elements under the influence of an effective unit in the design of functional and functional spaces.
The stages of research in following the contemporaneity of architectural patterns of buildings from different historical periods and the interpretations of architectural theorists can be appropriate in achieving the goals. Art, architecture, and city design have long been intertwined with geometry in human culture. In Islamic culture, the expression of meanings and concepts in the form of simple and abstract shapes and motifs has always found a new expression. To the extent that the course of thought in the infinite world has led to the name of sacred geometry. On the other hand, the combination of some simple geometric shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles expresses broad symbolic concepts that are not limited to art and architecture. In particular, a wide range of shapes and meanings lies in the combination, integration, and division of these simple shapes (Tavasoli, 2004, p. 18).
Research Method
Based on the research process in terms of how to examine the gradual changes in the architectural design of contemporary residential houses resulting from the ancient and traditional periods and the need to pay attention to the traditional architecture of the transitional period (Qajar) and the application of spatial organization characteristics and geometric order in different patterns in different regions of Iran and the superposition of Iranian and Islamic architectural values in providing a solution and achieving an optimal pattern, it is necessary to examine library studies and the research method in housing studies is interpretative-historical and descriptive-analytical in achieving the final model of Iranian housing. The method of collecting information is library (Table 1) and the research method is interpretative-historical and descriptive-analytical (Figure 1). The statistical population is historical monuments of the ancient and Qajar periods.

- B) Study of examples of buildings from the ancient and traditional periods
Different buildings are listed in Table (3) according to the historical periods of the ancient and traditional periods, and from drawing the plan and examining the basic and archetypal patterns, the characteristics of the formal and functional patterns in each of the buildings are listed. The purpose of conducting studies in different buildings is to explain the course of historical developments in different periods and the gradual process of evolution of the four-faced and four-porch patterns until the end of the traditional period.

Conclusion
- The manifestation of justice and fairness in the architecture of Iranian houses is sought in various geometric components, including harmony, balance, unity, proportions, limits and boundaries, symmetry, equilibrium, hierarchy, and static principles. Through the coordination of quantitative and qualitative aspects of geometry in architecture before and after Islam, the relationship between order and size with the justice of God and the unity of components is addressed. Excellence in Iranian architecture is provided by the adaptation of sensory and rational perceptions in explaining the defined factors of mathematics and geometry in the course of developments from theoretical application to practice and manifestation in the architectural industry.
- The application of geometry in the architecture of buildings (temples) dates back to Egypt and Turkey (Assyrian civilization), respectively, which was in the eighth century BC, and studies have shown the transfer of techniques from Egypt to Iran and then Turkey, and following that, in the fifth century BC, the construction of the Parthenon Temple began, which was in line with the research of Thales, Pythagoras, and then Platonic volumes are investigated.
- The study and research in the field of applied geometry in Iranian architecture, influenced by the experiences of the ancient period, reached its peak and flourishing by Iranian scientists and philosophers in the tenth century.
Footnote
- 1. In the 7th century AH, Khwaja Nasir al-Din Tus was one of the prominent figures. During the Mongol era, he established an observatory in Maragheh and engaged in research in natural sciences such as mathematics, astronomy, and geometry. It was in this observatory that the Zij al-Ilkhani was compiled, and under Tusi's supervision, almost all classical Greek mathematical works were translated into Arabic. Some of Khwaja Nasir's mathematical books include:
- The book Kashf al-Qana’ on the secrets of the shape of the sphere, this book was translated into French by Iskander Pasha Karateu Derry in 1891.
- Al-Hisab Baltakht wa al-Tarab. This book was translated into Russian in 1963.
- Al-Risalah al-Shafi’ah an al-Shak fi al-Khuti al-Mutawaziyyah. This book was translated into Russian by Rosenfeld in 1960.
- The writing of Euclid’s Principles.
- The writing of Archimedes’ Book of the Sphere and the Cylinder
- Baha' al-Din Muhammad Ameli, known as Sheikh Baha'i, was a scholar during the reign of Shah Abbas Safavi. He was born in Baalbek in 953 AH. He immigrated to Iran with his father at the age of 13. He has written in Persian and Arabic, totaling 88 books and treatises. His works include Kashkul, Divan Ghazaliyat, Jame' al-Abbasi (in jurisprudence), Khalasat al-Hesab, Shashq al-Aflaq, and two famous Mathnavis, "Nan va Halwa" and "Shir va Shakar." He passed away in Isfahan in 1030 AH. His body was transferred to Mashhad and buried in the Goharshad Mosque.
