Form Follows Architecture Event (An Objective Representation from a Modern Perspective in Post-Modern Conditions)
The concept of "Form follows Architecture Event" serves as a contextual method within the contradictory complexities of architecture. This method facilitates the emergence of diverse interpretations through the flexible adaptation of spatial characteristics and program-oriented oppositions to one another. Simultaneously, it maintains its modern essence while reframing all actions within postmodern conditions. This qualitative research employs the grounded theory approach, with the overarching goal of achieving an objective representation of form and function in architecture following global culture. Specifically, the study seeks to answer the question, "What is the role of physical form in contemporary architecture, particularly in the context of contemporary Iranian architecture?" Data compilation and analysis were conducted through semi-structured interviews, reaching a saturation point at the 17th interview. The mean agreement of 90.37% indicates relatively complete reliability, while a Kappa coefficient greater than 0.6 describes the validity as ideal. Thus, the research's quality index is accepted, and the results can be assessed and interpreted based on the criteria of matching, generalization, comprehensibility, and control. It appears that the function of form in contemporary architecture is influenced by an objective representation of global culture. This representation engages with physical space in an event-driven format that responds to function. In the face of an evolutionary self-reflection crisis, the representation fosters a temporary transition between alternative situations. Rather than promoting a clash between two forms, it aims to establish a connection between them.
