Analyzing the rhythm of Contradictory practice to the formal discourse & reading urban public space

A critical look toward spatial issues necessitates criticism and transformation in theoretical and practical approaches toward space in the contemporary era. Spatial critical reading is considered a method to describe, interpret and criticize everyday life and identify spatial issues from the same perspective. Spatial reading first appears in theoretical traditions and components affecting it. Social theories about everyday life have gradually penetrated spatial studies and the recognition methods, in line with spatial turn. Space, in this opinion, shows everyday characters and their dimensions that it shows the current social situation. So, this space is considered to display the characteristics of everyday life and its constructive dimensions and the representative of the economic, political, cultural, and technical conditions. It means that space is based on daily activities in routine life and people's performance in their daily living (lived space) and the representative constructive factors (economic, political, cultural conditions, knowledge, and technology, which is known as perceived space). In this approach, space is known as good that is consumed in a new form. According to these necessitates, the urban space design process must emphasize everyday life's dimensions and components. Rhythmanalysis, as one of the analytical tools, is emphasis reading everyday life in urban space. This tool includes two urban rhythms: everyday and physical rhythms. They show linear and cyclic rhythms orders. This study aims to delve deeper and explain the complexities of multi-layered urban public space; Influenced by each society's social formations and the starting point of the epistemology of space in correlation with social reality, has been done.The research paradigm is critical, and within the framework of Lefebvre's theory of social production, explores everyday life in space through rhythm analysis and the connection of time and place. The research questions included identifying the components affecting the rhythm of the practice and developing a contextual model to read the space of Khajoo Bridge. The research's innovation is the description and explanation of the semi-hidden and hidden part of the urban public space (Isfahan Khajoo Bridge) using rhythm analysis of practice contrary to society's formal discourse. Using contextual theory, a systematic study of the information obtained from the field perception, including in-depth purposeful interviews and observations of the objective aspect of the occurrence of actions (behavioral patterns), has been performed. The results are formulated in a theoretical-contextual model with 12 main categories that show the relationship of practice with contextual conditions, causes of occurrence, interfering factors (aggravating), and consequences: Context of practice include ideological-governmental, natural, and environmental order; Its causes are a function of normative order and supervisory management; intervening factors including planned interactions, cultural exchanges, and interconnectedness of categories; Consequences include predictability of space, awareness of demands, reduction of legitimacy, and appropriation of space from formal discourse. The occurrence of practice has a temporal and spatial selection and is associated with membership in social groups. Their goal is spatial stabilization, gaining autonomy and legitimacy in space, and they have patterns of lawlessness-abnormality, space ownership, psychotherapy, and demands.
