        One of the most crucial issues encountering researchers in the field of Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning with the aim of preserving and perpetuating cultural values in the present era is the issue of overcoming formal and physical descriptions and gaining a deep understanding of the nature and essence of the buildings. Since every building is a form of embodiment of ideas and worldviews of its builders and is additionally a metaphor of their existence in the world, a correct understanding of the building can enable the reproduction of historical identity in the present era. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structure of the tomb of Shah Nematollah Vali based on these assumptions that the ontological implications of the elements can be explained as meaningful signs of the structure of their interrelationship. In the present study, the philosophical foundation of research is interpretivism; the research approach is qualitative, and the analysis method is phenomenological. In analyzing the experience of space and the relationship between the building and the city, the following three assumptions were examined: 1. the hierarchy of spatial relations from the urban space to the dome creates a sense of spirituality in individuals. 2. The presence of four Classic Elements in successive spaces affects users' perception of space as a sacred one. 3. The presence of four Classic Elements as meaningful signs in the space increases the sense of place in pilgrims. To examine the above assumptions by analyzing the lived experience of people in the building, a questionnaire with 20 questions was prepared and distributed among 85 pilgrims and specialists. Data analysis shows that the manner and extent of the presence of four Classic Elements in consecutive scenes of the shrine of Shah Nematollah Vali, has a significant relationship with the perception of mystical meanings and spiritual journeys in the minds of the people and leads them to experience a different perceptual quality in each courtyard. And be more prepared to reach the shrine and pilgrimage at any moment. Manuscript profile

        Islamic architecture is a recurring term in research on Islamic art and civilization. A wide range of works made in the Islamic world has been named with this word and scholars have tried to define and mention its features, in which, there is almost no relationship between Islam as a divine religion and architecture, and only the characteristics of buildings are mentioned. In this research, came to light by descriptive-analytical study method based on gathering of information in the library, after the analyses of the definitions of Islamic architecture, two questions are asked about it: what it is and when did this form of architecture begin and end. Therefore, based on the inference from Quranic verses and religious doctrine, Islamic architecture refers to a type of architecture that, rather than seeking a specific shape and form, should help Muslims to achieve perfection and the ultimate goal of human creation, which is to worship God. This kind of architecture started at the same time with the mission of the Holy Prophet “PBUH” and will continue until the end and will not be limited to a specific region and a specific time.

        What and how the city and Islamic housing in Islamic teachings require extensive reflection and correct inference in the sources of these teachings. Since Islamic teachings have beneficial effects on biological spaces, including housing, it is important to study and research in this regard. Although the principles of Islam are fixed and irreversible truths that have been laid down for all time, but the farewell is high and ijtihad is necessary. That is, at any time and time, it is necessary for specialist experts to adapt the principles of Islam to the changing issues that occur in time, and to determine what these issues are based on. It is evident that the principles laid down for the housing laid down from this The rule is not an exception and should be recognized and adapted to the rules and conditions of the time. The Islamic teachings presented in the Holy Qur'an and the Word of the Imams (PBUH) provide conceptual and practical strategies in the form of metaphysical and metaphysical principles, which can be utilized on the condition of observing certain principles and inferences. This research seeks to explain the methodology of extracting and correctly deducing Islamic teachings for designing housing design strategies. The research method of this research is a hybrid method (consisting of qualitative content analysis and rational reasoning) which, using this method and based on the narrative teachings of the school of Islam, hints for the inference of the Islamic teachings for their application in architectural design Housing is said to be a step forward in the pursuit of genuine Islamic architecture. The results of the research show that the main factors shaping the "Islamic Housing" are categorized into three main groups that their coherent and rational content will lead to the emergence of "Islamic Housing". The first factor is the "faith of the city" or the principles of their faith, from which we refer to the "intellectual space". The second factor is the "practical and moral principles" of Islam, from which we interpret the notion of behavior and the third factor in the housing structure, from which we refer to "objective space". This body is created by humans (the intellectual space) and with Islamic behavior (Islamic action and ethics), which explains the relationship between man and the outside world (including society, artistic environment and nature), which leads to the creation of space and environment. Which, while emanating from Islamic principles, refer to these principles and help human beings in the Muslim world. Manuscript profile

        Places of worship, especially mosques, are considered one of the richest platforms for the evolution and exaltation of the human spirit and possess great significance. The geometry of these buildings is considered one of their common and regular features, having specific proportions and rules. Also, it has created an intangible heritage identity for the contemporary era. Knowing and interpreting these proportions can play an important role in repairing and reusing the historic building, using them in future architectures, and elevating the new architecture. This research aims to discover similarities and differences between cultural platforms from the Timurid to Safavid eras by reviewing the principles and proportions using geometric analysis. To identify the mathematical relationships of the architectural body of mosques' courtyards and understand their geometrical proportions, this research has used the combined method of historical interpretation based on valid evidence and logical reasoning of the mathematical type. Based on this, the sides and proportions of the courtyards and constituent parts of 9 Timurid, Safavid, and Qajar mosques have been subjected to numerical analysis based on Euclidean-longitudinal calculations and the scale of proportions in the courtyard plan of the mosques. Findings of this research indicate that the geometry of the courtyard and components of the discussed mosques have employed golden proportions, and Mahtabi halls attached to the mosque courtyards during the Safavid period have been developed in the same proportions through the Qajar period.

        Despite the numerous efforts in recent decades to improve the architectural design process, however, not any rich solution are developed for applying art in architecture inspired by nature. Therefore, it is necessary to respond to how to extract design solutions in the face of nature and inspiration from nature and to get clues to stimulate the imagination of designers by analyzing, comparing, and reviewing the existing examples and works of great contemporary architects. This paper aims to extract and categorize the influential components of art inspired by nature with an emphasis on Islamic architecture. Additionally, the foundations and principles that may be understood in a general and striking way in the spaces of Islamic architecture inspired by nature are explained in the form of different topics to achieve a better understanding of the architecture. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to provide the mental associations of artists in the design process, based on modeling from nature to improve the thinking of Islamic architecture. However, the paper employ an applied descriptive-analytical methodology. The data was collected by the library method, and the analysis was conducted by the field studies. In this research, components, and solutions for better exercise of art and nature are proposed to stimulate imagination and use by designers. Furthermore, the results show that nature, holds a significant effect on Islamic architecture and is effective in various strategies leading to architectural creativity. Nature's art is ever-present and unclassifiable as influential means for inspiration, which is significant in the landmark buildings and examples presented. Moreover Islamic architecture, rather than seeking a specific form, serves the Muslim to achieve perfection with the aid of nature and pursues the ultimate purpose of human creation, which is indeed the worship of God. Therefore, the formalistic and apparent perceptions of nature alone shall not be enough, and the presence of the spirit of nature in architecture lead to its improvement and manifestation. However, the climatic, cultural, social, and political issues of each region may strongly influence architecture and its functions, therefore, the particular Islamic culture also creates its forms and functions; this is the point that makes Islamic architecture distinguish from other buildings.
