One of the important issues is how to communicate and interact between spiritual and material culture; Architecture as a material culture has a wide range and the wideness of this range has made it related to many sciences, some of which are a subset of occult sciences and shows the influence of spiritual culture on material culture. This research seeks to answer how different branches of occult sciences are used in different stages of the formation of architecture, and it is written with the aim of analyzing a part of the relationship between occult sciences and architecture, citing the history and geography texts, which has been overlooked by other researchers. Therefore, this research with a descriptive-analytical approach tries to examine the relationship between architecture and occult sciences from various aspects. The findings of the research show that during the foundation stage of cities and buildings, the sciences of constellational power (a branch of Himiya) were used, and for the construction of buildings, Kimia, Simya, Himiya, Limiya and Rimya were used; Also, during the exploitation phase, talismans have been used as additional elements of architecture in the form of sculptures, paintings and inscriptions. The documents show that among the occult sciences, the role of talismans in architecture and urban development has been more than others, and additional elements of images and inscriptions have been the main tools used in architectural spaces, which magicians and talisman makers use for different purposes such as protection, prosperity or to conquer people. These talismans in the form of images include human, animal, bird, strange creatures and astronomical images.

The architecture of all lands, including Iran, has always been in a deep connection with culture, and it can be seen as an expression of the thoughts and values of the society. One of the important periods of Iranian architecture is the Qajar period. The changes in the architecture of this period can be analyzed under the influence of two groups of external factors (Western influence) and internal. In this article, the focus is on internal factors and to obtain data related to the subject, the travelogues of Europeans who traveled to Iran during the Qajar period were used.The research method used in this article is the content analysis method, which is based on first-hand historical data, namely Ferangian travelogues who were in Iran during the Qajar period. For this purpose, 22 travelogues were used.According to the reports of tourists, one of the characteristic features of buildings in this period was their short life. In this article, this issue has been investigated in relation to cultural, social, political and governance conditions.By examining the data obtained from the travelogues according to the physical characteristics of the buildings and the cultural, political and social characteristics of that period, it is shown that unpredictability and insecurity in the society can indirectly affect the buildings and lead to the formation of a type of short-term architecture that It prepares the ground for being influenced by the architecture of other cultures and societies.

In recent years, the quality of urban tourism spaces has gained significant attention in various fields of study. This research aims to answer two key questions: (1) Which criteria play the most and least significant roles in enhancing the vitality of tourism spaces? and (2) Which of the two studied sites, Hafezieh or Saadieh, exhibits higher levels of vitality? To address these questions, content analysis was used to identify seven key components of vitality, derived from existing definitions and expert opinions in the field. Following the identification of vitality indices, questionnaires were distributed and collected at the study sites, and the gathered data were analyzed using SPSS software. The comparison of significance levels between variables revealed no significant differences between the two locations in terms of vitality.

The quality of teaching largely depends on the teaching qualifications of the instructors especially in skill-oriented fields like architecture, as well as the quality of graduates who are capable and possess the necessary skills for the professional environment. Visiting lecturers, alongside faculty members, are responsible for quality teaching at universities. However, there is no regulation from the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology regarding their recruitment and qualification assessment. To this end, this study aims to evaluate the criteria for assessing the competences of visiting lecturers at universities by examining the form used at the National University of Skill as a case study. The research is practical in purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. The sample included 115 students and 55 instructors, and for analysis, SPSS22 software, ANOVA, and t-tests were used. The findings indicate that cultural activity components have the least impact, while feedback from instructors in face-to-face interviews has the greatest influence on teaching qualification. It seems essential to standardize the qualifications of instructors through regulations by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, and the criteria for recruiting visiting lecturers should be flexible enough based on the field and mission of the university.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify the factors affecting the sense of place in shrine buildings and to improve these factors for a deeper understanding of the sense of place in these buildings. The research method was descriptive-analytical and the sample size was determined based on Morgan table of 78 people. What distinguishes this research from its similar researches is the analysis and study of the components of sense of place in Ali Ibn Mahziar's tomb as the most significant shrine building in Ahvaz, which has not been researched in this field so far. The results of Pearson test, while confirming the correlation of all criteria and sub-criteria with the sense of place, show; The variable of peace and spirituality has the highest and the variable of security has the lowest correlation with the amount of sense of place. According to the results of regression test, perceptual and physical dimensions have the most effect and functional and social dimensions have less effect on inducing a sense of place in the shrine. The results show that in addition to the four components of physical, semantic, social and service, other components are involved in creating a sense of place in tombs and religious buildings. Therefore, it is possible to deepen the sense of place among pilgrims in pilgrimage buildings and religious tombs by providing more grounds for both physical and semantic components.

Considering the ever-increasing growth of technology and the rapid process of its changes in the world and the need for special attention of the armed forces organizations, it is necessary for the operational organizations of the armed forces to create the capabilities needed to deal with the increasing threats. Therefore, it is necessary to review their organization as a complex system and look at its architecture. Today, architecture in organizations has turned from a good thing to a necessary thing. The present research has tried to use the DODAF architecture framework and consider the operational, system and technical views and add another approach to it under the title of strategic or foresight approach and use DOTMLPF capability model to write and edit the doctrine, organization and the structure, training, systems and equipment and weapons, the command, human resources, infrastructure and finally, the policies, strategies and core capabilities of the organization.This research, which is in the category of qualitative research, is classified as the descriptive-analytical research, in terms of the method of collecting information, in terms of the type of research, it is classified as a development- practical research and in terms of research design, it is classified as prospective research. By conducting studies, using theoretical foundations and targeted interviews with experts, it has achieved its desired results in a theoretical saturation form and has presented a model for the architecture of the armed forces' operational complexes.Since the size of the statistical population is limited due to the specialization, the statistical sample in this research is considered to be the whole number.

With the emergence of Islam, religious architecture gained significant importance, and the mosque became the successor to previous places of worship (Zomarshidi, 1995, p. 9). This shift has played a crucial role in the significance of congregational mosques, making them stand out even more than other mosques in terms of decorative inscriptions (Sedaghat, 2008, pp. 19-18). These inscriptions reflect the architectural transformations of mosques as well as document significant cultural, economic, social, and political events throughout various eras, providing valuable information. This article discusses and recognizes the architecture and inscriptions of the Congregational Mosque of Qaen, which is one of the important mosques from the Timurid period in South Khorasan Province. A review of previous research reveals that there has been no comprehensive study focused on the architecture, inscriptions, decorations, and formation of the Congregational Mosque of Qaen. Therefore, considering the importance of this building, conducting more thorough and complete research on it will not only clarify its characteristics but also enhance our understanding of the culture and architecture of Khorasan. The main questions of this research are:What time period is covered by the inscriptions used in the Congregational Mosque of Qaen?
What subjects are encompassed in the content of these inscriptions?
 

Architecture of the Congregational Mosque of Qaen:

The Congregational Mosque is a two-iwan rectangular structure. The entrance iwan is located on the eastern side. Beyond the entrance iwan is the courtyard, where, on the opposite side of the entrance, another iwan and a prayer hall (shabestan) can be seen. On both the northern and southern sides, there are small iwans with a depth of two meters flanking the entrance iwan on the east side of the building. In part of the courtyard, there is a sundial as well as a water reservoir (payabi). The main iwan of the mosque, situated on the southwest front of the building, is a masterpiece of architecture, with two prayer halls constructed on either side. The decorations used in this iwan include brickwork on the main facade, featuring both horizontal and vertical patterns with geometric designs, while the surfaces below the ceiling of the iwan are adorned with geometric and arabesque patterns, as well as muqarnas. A total of 15 inscriptions have been identified in this mosque, the oldest of which, dating back to 796 AH, is located inside the main iwan and contains an Arabic text stating that the order to construct the mosque was given by Jamshid ibn Qaran ibn Jamshid ibn Ali ibn Ashraf ibn Qazi Shams al-Din Ali al-Qayeni in the year 796. The inscription reads:“This construction has been undertaken as a charity for the sake of God by the humble servant of God, Nizam al-Haqq wa al-Din Jamshid ibn Qaran ibn Jamshid ibn Ali ibn Ashraf ibn Qazi Shams al-Din Ali al-Qayeni in the months of the year 796.”
Inscriptions number 2, dating to 921 AH, concerns the collection of taxes from the people. Inscription number 3 is dated 1046 AH and pertains to a trust of water from a qanat for the mosque. Inscription number 4, also from the year 1046 AH, discusses tax exemptions for certain segments of the population. Inscription number 5 relates to repairs made to the mosque during the reign of Shah Suleiman Safavi in 1098 AH by Haji Muhammad Hossein. Inscription number 6 pertains to the construction of a wooden pulpit for the mosque, dating to 1082 AH. The subsequent inscriptions are from the Qajar period, starting from 1246 AH and continuing to the most recent one, which dates to 1993. These inscriptions, written with ink and color on plaster and mostly found beneath the iwan, include the names of the master builder, the painter, and the scribe, as well as prayers and poems commemorating the significance and grandeur of the mosque. The last inscription (number 15) is related to a tombstone that is placed on the outer wall next to the entrance iwan on the western side of the mosque.
 

Construction Inscriptions: The inscription labeled Number 1, which indicates the construction of the building, and inscription Number 6 (the pulpit) are classified as construction inscriptions. These two inscriptions are historically significant because they specify not only the date of construction but also the names of the founder, builder, and artist.
Endowment Inscriptions: An examination of the endowment inscriptions reveals the religious thoughts of the people. Inscription Number 3 states that land should be cultivated, and its proceeds are to be endowed to the mosque. At the end of the inscription, prayers are offered for the king and the owners, along with a curse on anyone who alters the endowment.
Governmental Inscriptions: Another category of common themes in the inscriptions includes government orders and decrees that were installed in buildings for public awareness. Inscriptions Number 2 and 4 fall under this category. Inscription Number 2 also features Persian words alongside verses from the Quran. Perhaps the inclusion of a Quranic verse served to bless and confer respect upon that inscription, thus preventing its destruction.
Restoration Inscriptions: The oldest of these inscriptions is Number 5, which begins with a portion of verse 18 from Surah At-Tawbah. Inscription Number 7 was written during the restoration of the building by Karbala’i Ishaq Qayeni. Inscription Number 8 is also related to the restoration, placed within a floral frame with two other inscriptions on either side, containing poetry written by Gholamreza Zaker about the majesty of the mosque’s arch. Inscription Number 9 concerns the restoration of the building and contains verses praising the greatness of the mosque. Inscription Number 14 is the most recent restoration inscription in the mosque.
Prayer Inscriptions: In addition to the use of Quranic verses in the inscriptions, there is a group that contains written prayers. Inscriptions Number 11, 12, and 13 are part of the prayer inscriptions, created during the Qajar period and featuring red and black ink on plaster.
Narrative Inscriptions: In the Congregational Mosque of Qaen, inscriptions Number 7 to 10 belong to this category. Inscription Number 7 contains a stanza from a poem in Saadi’s Gulistan. Inscription Number 10 features a poetic line emphasizing the importance of prayer. Inscription Number 8 is a stanza describing the grandeur of the mosque's iwan, spiritually comparing it to Al-Aqsa Mosque. Inscription Number 9 describes the vastness of the mosque's iwan using the literary device of exaggeration. The tombstone inscription Number 15, located at the entrance iwan on the western side of the mosque, includes verses related to the Day of Resurrection, though much of the text has become illegible due to weathering.

The inscriptions of the Qaen Mosque can be divided into two groups based on their temporal context: the first group pertains to the Timurid and Safavid periods, consisting entirely of stone inscriptions related to the construction of the building, government orders, endowments, religious objectives, and restorations of the mosque. The second group is later and primarily associated with the Qajar period, focusing on the restoration of the building and encompassing the area beneath the southern dome chamber.
The studied inscriptions, alongside governmental and restoration texts, include Quranic verses, prayers, names of God, the Prophet, Imams, as well as the names of craftsmen such as the architect, stonecutter, painter, and endower. Understanding these inscriptions is particularly important for identifying the art and local artists throughout various historical periods. The inscriptions from the Safavid period hold significant value, not only for their aesthetic aspects but also as indicators of the political, social, economic, cultural, and religious conditions of that era.

Ethics is the knowledge of how to live. Moral values are one of the most important factors in the formation process of Islamic architecture. Architecture is an arena for the emergence of individual and social life and the expression of moral values. Paying attention to the existential moral values of man and society is one of the basic needs of the formation of the environment and human life. Considering the effects of the environment as one of the effective factors on the moral education of the child, we need a detailed understanding of the characteristics that affect the moral education of the child so that we can design an environment that helps the moral development of the child and actually education Follow the child's morals. Here, the question is raised, what strategies and solutions have Islamic teachings provided regarding a suitable environment for the moral education of children? And what are the characteristics of a suitable kindergarten for the moral education of a child based on Islamic teachings? Accordingly, the aim of this research is to provide principles and a model for kindergarten design based on moral teachings. In this research, it has been tried by referring to Islamic teachings and with the method of logical reasoning and their interpretation and analysis, the environmental components and architecture of a suitable place for the moral education of children have been deduced and presented.

The process of architectural thinking, traditions, methods, and the vast body of architectural knowledge, similar to other artistic fields, currently stands at a critical juncture in its history. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture over the past seventy years signifies a paradigm shift, resulting in significant transformations within the field. Despite addressing factors that have hindered the acceleration of such remarkable change, the present study evaluates the progression and interaction of architectural developments with AI. One approach to investigating AI's impact on the world of architecture involves exploring the cultural, technical, and historical realms. The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the adaptation of new AI-related findings within architecture while considering their historical developments from 1920 to 2023. The study employed a qualitative method, conducting a historical research based on a comparative analysis of architectural and AI achievements in ten-year periods. The findings suggest that the relationship between architecture and technology has grown substantially in parallel with the evolution of AI. The latest advancements in AI have not only influenced the design process but have also significantly affected the broader field of practice and thought. This adaptation can be categorized into four periods: architecture aided by standardization, architecture utilizing computers, architecture with the assistance of parameters, and architecture through the application of AI.

Every new style of architecture is based on the principles, methods and traditions of the previous styles and always has an effect in the course of time that is worth immortality, which has a logical support and deep theoretical foundations. The use of geometric shapes in the architecture has a long history and importance in such a way that they were used in the construction of most temples and holy places. The importance of numbers and shapes is evident in the aesthetics of historical and religious places. Among these, number four and the square-shaped buildings have been favored by Islamic architects in a symbolic way. The purpose of the present research is to draw the attention of architects in the construction of Basila City, the seat of Shah Tayhour's rule in the Kushnameh system, to the concepts and methods that are based on human experiences and the identity sequence of human achievements with previous generations and preconceived notions. Man was created with the ability to respond to the natural and aesthetic needs of his time. The current research was done with an analytical-adaptive method and an inductive one, and the main elements of Islamic architectural aesthetics in the field of practice and opinion are identified. Also, appearance, strength, stability, symmetry, balance, and how they affect the construction of Basila City in Kushnameh system have been investigated.

Attention to quantity and failure to pay attention to quality as well as voidness of apartment housing of meaning, lack of meaningful relationships between Islamic-Iranian housing architecture culture and the imitated Western-styled apartment housing have caused disruption of the identity and link between the Islamic-Iranian housing architecture and the bright history of architecture of this land. Thus, this research was carried out with the question: What are the Qur’anic approach-based components affecting contemporary apartment housing? Moreover, the goal was to present a model of Qur’anic approach-based components affecting the contemporary apartment building architecture in Tehran. This quantitative and qualitative method (which involves a mixed method) was performed concurrently in three complementary phases. The most important components affecting the contemporary apartment housing architecture were 33 cases which Table 6 shows that 12% of those components have affected the contemporary housing architecture, and 88% affected the traditional housing architecture. Meanwhile, the most specific components by the percentage of their importance as a valuable Islamic model were introduced as the final components of the [model] as they included peace and security (98%), intimacy (96%), human dignity (94%), servitude (94%), privacy (92%), safety, strength and firmness (92%), humiliation (90%), bio-sustainable factors (90%), creativity (88%), and dynamism and activity (82%). A comparative review of the research results and six papers on urban housing revealed that the components derived from the present research were both materially and spiritually comprehensive. As for the contemporary apartment housing architecture pathology, various apartment spaces in architecture have suffered serious damages due to diminishing role and loss of effective components.

It is also a measure of sunlight with a weight of (0.243), whose sub-set indices are, respectively, sunny hours (0.40), radiation angle (0.39), average temperature (0.36), are in the first to third ranks. Ahvaz city has special bioclimatic conditions due to its location in a special geographical location, topographical conditions and atmospheric systems affecting the region. So that the extreme heat causes many problems for the residents of this city.

Architecture has always been connected to fundamental thought in some way. It appears that the Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili complex, as one of the important centers of mysticism and Sufism, is also influenced by mystical ideas and concepts, which have impacted the formation of its architecture. The Sheikh Safi al-Din complex was constructed over various periods; however, historical texts state that Sadr al-Din Musa, the son and successor of the Sheikh, designed the order and structure of the mausoleum himself and was inspired to the architect through a dream. Therefore, it may be possible to recognize the connection of this complex's architecture with mystical thought and concepts. Examining the evolution of the architecture of the Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili's khanqah (Sufi lodge) and mausoleum complex reveals that this cultural and historical monument is one of the missing links in Iranian art between the 8th century AH and the first quarter of the 12th century AH, holding significant importance in studying the architectural developments of khanqah and mausoleum structures in Iran and the Islamic world. This article aims to investigate the development and historical transformations of the architectural complex of Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili up to the contemporary era. The present research is applied in terms of its purpose and historical, descriptive-analytical based on its nature and method. Although conventional research methods such as library research and internet searches were employed to collect information, observation, field visits, and studies have been the primary methods throughout various stages of the research. To align interpretations and perceptions with existing realities, the site was visited multiple times, and analytical and interpretive methods were used to analyze the information. The results showed that many valuable buildings in the Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardabili khanqah and mausoleum complex, which provide useful information in the field of archaeology and architecture of this religious monument, have disappeared. If they remain, they have taken on different forms over time and with changing periods. Comparing the current structures with the architectural spaces of the Safavid and pre-Safavid eras, as recorded in historical documents and the latest archaeological evidence, will prove the extent and former religious grandeur of this historical educational and religious institution during its peak period. Some architectural remains have disappeared, and their traces are hidden in the eastern and northeastern areas of the complex. In other words, although there is no precise knowledge about the extent of the complex during its peak period, it can be imagined that the volume of architecture and the current area of the complex, 135,320 square meters (excluding the organized and modern development and construction sections of the 1990s to 2010s in the northern and western sides of the complex), was more than twice the current extent.
