Cultural Engineering in Shaping Islamic Architectural Pattern

Abstract

Culture as the norms of a society endures a significant role in the structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also, architecture as a visual example can also be considered as the vital core of a nation's culture. Thus, creating an efficient model based on Iranian-Islamic culture is require in the field of architectural studies. In this study, the cultural components of Islamic - Iranian architecture are clarified and enlightened. These components create architectural spaces based on the pattern of Islamic - Iranian culture and thus increase the cultural quality of the phenomenon. In the process of this research, after expressing the necessary prerequisites and concepts on the subject of Iranian Islamic architecture and the allocation of such topics with cultural concepts, through the design of models and approaches with the help of common cultural patterns and ideas, in order to scientifically prove such prototypes and expressions of the expert discourse community, the Delphi technique and a Likert scale questionnaire with a statistical population including elite scholars related to the mentioned topics, titles and indices were prioritized. After confirming the validity and frequency of responses in SPSS software, including descriptive analysis of variance, mean and Cronbach's statistics, the statistical results indicate that initially there is a high correlation between the questions proposed in the questionnaire and the relevance of architectural components and cultural indices. Also, the questionnaire has high reliability. Research objectives: 1. Explaining the cultural components of Islamic-Iranian architecture model (cultural engineering in Islamic architecture of Iran) 2. Providing a standard for designers as well as architectural management assistants for the purpose of evaluating and assessing architectural designs. Research questions: 1. What are the common features of Iranian-Islamic architecture and Islamic-Iranian culture? 2. What are the cultural components of Iranian-Islamic architecture based on cultural attachment characteristics?
