Memorial architectural textures do not emerge in isolation; rather, they are shaped by a multitude of factors, both seen and unseen, that interconnect in a complex chain of causality. By meticulously tracing and contextualizing these factors, we can aspire to imbue them with a sense of immortality, embedding them within specific contexts and decoding their significance. This study endeavors to advance the understanding of contemporary Iranian monumental architecture through the lens of shape grammar, exploring how this grammar can inform the creation of new designs within this architectural tradition. By delving into the theoretical frameworks of memorial architecture and grammatical form, this article not only offers a framework for the perpetuation of this architectural heritage but also lays the groundwork for systematic evaluation.
The objectives of this study are twofold: To perceive contemporary Iranian monumental architecture through the extraction of fundamental shapes within the grammar of form. To generate new designs that uphold the essence of contemporary Iranian monuments.
This research adopts an applied approach, utilizing documentary-analytical methods as its primary research methodology. Both library and field methods have been employed for data collection. The process of data analysis involves identifying the grammar of form, which serves as a production system for generating new designs from basic shapes according to a set of rules. By applying this method to analyze six contemporary Iranian monuments, basic shapes are extracted, and a set of rules is formulated. Subsequently, new designs, infused with the essence of the selected monuments, are created.
In conclusion, by employing the grammar technique of shape within the context of six contemporary monuments and devising an algorithm comprising a finite set of basic shapes and instructions, this study demonstrates the potential for generating an infinite array of design solutions.

Iranian architecture has been studied from different aspects. Shape Grammar is an analytical tool for studying the styles and history of architecture that has the ability to provide a common language and conceptual framework, a coherent and integrated form to study the geographical differences and evolution of Iranian architecture.In this research, the first step to compile this common grammar of Iranian architecture has been taken by compiling a grammar of a specific form related to the traditional houses of Kashan.

Out of 100 heritage houses, 19 samples were selected by random / judgmental sampling method. By analyzing the samples, minimal rules are presented.

The grammar presented in 4 steps produces the formal structure and the spatial relationships between the forms. A valid range of variables and an algebraic expression are presented. Also, with the help of grammar, the spaces in the samples have been typologized. In Kashan houses, the most important spaces, spaces with a width of 5, can be divided into 8 types based on the shape structure. In terms of spatial relationships between components, 6 specific types of relationships between the internal components of each of the previous form structures can be identified, which are described in the findings section.

The proposed grammar can be a coherent structure for the study of Iranian architecture. It can also be used as a suitable tool for typology. Provide the possibility of comparison as well as the relationship between different species and make the studies coherent.

The social and cultural areas of Iran have undergone extensive changes during the second Pahlavi era. One of the most important influential indicators in these developments is modernism in the intellectual society system. The formation of a new middle-class in the second Pahlavi period is a sign of modernism achievements. Even the housing types of this social class also reflect their fundamental changes during this period. The present article intends to model the new middle-class housing of the second Pahlavi and suggests new models for contemporary middle-class housing.

This research seeks to achieve new middle-class housing rules in the second Pahlavi period by using grammar and develop a variety of design patterns in the housing of today’s middle classes. In this regard, Narmak neighborhood from the middle period and Ekbatan town from the last period of the second Pahlavi were selected as a sample community and were evaluated according to the socio-cultural indicators of housing.

The basis of this qualitative research method is interpretive history; at the beginning of this article, during a historiographical study, the effect of social classes on the structure of houses has been studied, and then the physical-spatial dimensions of houses have been discussed by the descriptive-analytical method. The method of data analysis in this research is shape grammar. The information required in this research has been collected through field observations, library studies, and documentation.

According to the results of the research, the components of the houses of this period have been influenced by modern Western ideas and architecture and have undergone fundamental changes in comparison with the traditional housing of Tehran. The micro-spaces of the dwellings are reduced to a minimum and follow a basic shape grammar: arrangement of spaces in these houses is based on the location of a basic element. The basic shape was considered to be multipurpose spaces (living and dining areas) and then other spaces were added to the basic shape based on a set of rules. Finally, based on the algorithmic process of shape grammar led to the creation of various patterns for the modern housing design.

Problem statement:

 Although the application of shape-based methods in the generative design systems has been studied as a means for describing or analyzing a style, regional architecture, or a specific design in numerous works of literature, the complexity and multiplicity of the structural grammars, as well as the lack of flexibility in the system for evaluation and optimization of new models has somewhat dwindled the applicability of these approaches. However, in addition to investigating and extracting the shape grammar of a traditional structure, the potential of generating novel designs based upon the shape rules indicates the necessity of further examination of the shape-based approaches.

Addressing the issue, this study proposes a hybrid generative evolutionary approach. The use of generative evolutionary methods can provide fresh insight into the process of analyzing traditional structures and designing new ones based on these structures.

The methodology is based upon library studies with the analytical-descriptive approach to examine the related literature review. Furthermore, with the consideration of Kashan’s traditional houses as a case study, it applies the combination of shape grammar method for analyzing configuration characteristics and physical-spatial relationships in historic houses, with genetic algorithm for optimizing the new generated forms.

The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of generative evolutionary methods in improving and accelerating the process of analyzing the characteristics of traditional structures as well as producing a variety of new designs that can preserve the spatial essence of traditional structures.

Statements of problem: Given the rapid changes in architecture, promoting the quality of life cannot necessarily respond to human needs. Residents of modern buildings are often dissatisfied with their living spaces; despite the development of facilities, modern buildings are not more beautiful and human-oriented than the past buildings. Architecture has been almost declined to a shelter or a demonstration of individual styles and moved away from its true status. This article tries to find out why residents of modern buildings are usually dissatisfied with their living spaces and why they have lost their natural and emotional reactions to their habitation. This article aims to define a new pattern for a contemporary house using shape grammar based on the essence of architecture of Qajar houses.
Given the physical and semantic features of Qajar houses in Tehran and Tabriz, this article proposes a model for today’s houses. Hence the following objectives are addressed:• How to explain the new pattern using shape grammar
• How to create sub-shapes in Qajar houses in Tabriz and Tehran
• Understanding the meaning implied in various shapes of Qajar houses in Tabriz and Tehran
Research Based on qualitative methods, this study employs shape grammar for data analysis. The shape grammar is a manufacturing system leading to a design based on a collection of shape-rules and operates by this algorithm. An algorithm is a process which has outputs derived from instructions or rules that run on a set of data. These rules are identified through phenomenological interpretation of the Qajar houses using Max Van Manen’s method. In this article, the phenomenological inquiry is based on the experience of living in 4 Qajar houses. Outputs are also newly created patterns.
In the process of shape grammar, the data of 4 houses is analyzed. Sub-shapes are derived based on the location of spaces in these houses; the shape-rules are defined by Van Manen’s phenomenological method. The rules are made through interpretation of in-depth interviews with people who have experienced living in selected houses. Ultimately, "the link with environment, happiness and relaxation" and "separation from everyday life" are main concepts reflected in spaces such as Eyvan (semi-closed space), basement, landscape, Hashti (entrance to each building and spaces) and Shahneshin (a room usually twice as high as other rooms in the house).
In fact, these spaces are the rules of shape grammar and the algorithmic process results in new patterns in the tree decision.

There are several reasons why the maintenance of spatial relationships is important in residential homes. Research in this area is being performed on more than 100 homes from the Qajar era in Kashan City to determine the presence of open, half open, and closed spaces, and based on these relationships shape grammar is being used to create a variety of designs. Shape grammar is a manufacturing system within which a set of rules leads from the desired form to the design.
In this study, three spatial types are considered: a courtyard space (open space), an eyvan (partial closed space), and a closed space. Based on these three spatial elements, design plans consist of three types: single court, double court, and complex. Spatial relationships within the homes are defined using the manufacturer’s specified rules and this algorithm. As it turns out, with the use of these specified rules and allowable spatial types an infinite number of design solutions can be provided. The use of shape grammar to interpret tradition home design in Kashan City lead to the creation of many new designs that are displayed through the use of a decision tree. The goal of this research is to allow for novel home designs while maintaining the essence of traditional Qajar home architectural style.
