Association of Ideas and Conveying the Shiite Concepts to Ritual Architecture (A Case Study of Saghanfars in Amol City)

The study aims at analyzing the association of ideas and conveyance of Shiite concepts to Saghanfars of Amol city. In terms of type، the study is a fundamental research and at the level of method it is an analytico-descriptive study. The data have been collected through documentary studies، surveys، and interviews and analyzed qualitatively. Because of structural، decorating and functional similarity، 10 samples among 30 Saghanfars of Amol city (%33 of all samples) were selected to be studied. The results reveal that for association of ideas and conveyance of Shiite concepts to the Saghanfars، religious symbols have frequently been used so that the religious، national and native concepts of the users have been reflected elegantly from the heart of appellation، function، motifs، and symbolic numbers. In fact، taking inspiration from domestic architecture، synthesizing it with regular and deeply rooted Shiite attitudes and using its frequent symbols artistically، the Shiite artist have paved the ground to exhibit the religious concepts and ideas in Saghanfars.
