@article{ author = {}, title = {Compiling the Conceptual Framework of «Garden Archeology»; Functions, Techniques and Challenges}, abstract ={The garden has a social, aesthetic and artistic representational capacity, and is a mix of static and dynamic elements that protect, rebuild and revive with theoretical, practical and technical challenges. "Garden archeology" is considered to be a subclass of archeological activity, which, after the Second World War and especially in recent decades, has been the focus of attention on projects for the restoration of historical gardens in developed countries. The purpose of this research is to recognize and analyze: a) the historical streams of the garden archeology and the explanation of its future horizons; (b) the typology of methods and techniques; (c) the recognition of the functions and subsequent challenges; and, ultimately, the development of a conceptual framework of it in the experience of the restoration of historical gardens. For this purpose, a logical reasoning method based on the analysis, classification and critique of written and library data will be used and will result in a logical reasoning based on the inference approach. The conceptual model derived from three aspects, including "function", "method", and "challenge", and the results represent the movement of destructive methods in exploration to non-destructive techniques (remote sensing, aerial photography, and geophysical surveying). The archeological functions of the garden also include a variety of "restoration" to "interpretation," which reflects the attention to "anthropology" and interdisciplinary topics. The challenge of "authentication", "history", "data interpretation" and "specialization" can also be arranged in this context, due to "exploration methods" and "strands involved". Finally, suggestions for using garden archeology in the Iran, based on challenges and opportunities, have been recommended. }, Keywords = {Historical Gardens, Archaeobotany, Garden Restoration, Modeling}, volume = {9}, Number = {19}, pages = {1-20}, publisher = {Art University of Isfahan}, url = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-535-en.html}, eprint = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-535-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Conservation and Architecture in Iran}, issn = {2345-3850}, eissn = {2538-2624}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {arab, hasanali and khaledian, satar}, title = {Formation of Urban Architectural Features of the Achaemenid Period at the Dahan-e Gholaman}, abstract ={The Achaemenid site of Dahan-i Gholaman is located in Sistan province (Ancient Zaranka). This city formed at the beginning of the Achaemenid period without any background of establishment and abandoned after 150 years. The water of site is supplied through transferring water from one of Hirmand's branches and supported by favorable agricultural land and the canebrake around Hamoon. Architectural structures of this site concerning the local conditions are built by using indigenous materials like mud-brick. As well as the scattering of structures of this city adapted with natural capabilities, followed the Persian style based on social texture and Indo-European caste and creates several different city blocks (parish), the pattern that continues by the welcoming of urban communities in the Near East during the Parthian and Sasanian historical periods. Also, a model which has been the factor of forming urban texture in the royal cities of the Achaemenid period can be seen in a different style in this site. Although the formation of this city was influenced by the Achaemenid elite in the Sistan region, its abandonment happened to its inhabitants due to the lack of urbanization or urban identity. However, based on the accumulation of native architectural memory in this area, it assumes that from the late Bronze Age and the end of the Shahr-e Soukhte to the Achaemenid period, there were settlements in this area, in spite of the lack of archaeological evidence.}, Keywords = {Achaemenid City, Dahan-e Gholaman, Urban Construction, Urban Texture, Urbanization, Sistan}, volume = {9}, Number = {19}, pages = {21-34}, publisher = {Art University of Isfahan}, url = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-547-en.html}, eprint = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-547-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Conservation and Architecture in Iran}, issn = {2345-3850}, eissn = {2538-2624}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {ShekariNiri, Javad and Taavusi, Mahmoud and Fakhar-eTehrani, Farh}, title = {Rab-e Rashidi and Reviewing Regeneration Projects and Contemporary Peripheral Studies}, abstract ={Performing field studies on the Tabriz Rab-e Rashidi site reveals contradictions and poses a serious challenge to the views presented; one of them was the disparity between the information about existing and printed geographical maps with the discussed location. The second point is the non-compliance of presented regeneration plans in the current location and the reality, the scale and the principle of descriptions of Rab-e Rashidi in the deed of endowment, Savaneh Al-Afkar and other historical documents. The present studies have seriously questioned the results of the previous studies and raised several questions; whether the current enclosure, called Rashidi castle, was the original Rab-e Rashidi or a part of a larger complex? The first hypothesis of the research is that Rab-e Rashidi described in the deed of endowment in a large scale cannot fit in the current enclosure with a few hectares. The second question of this study is that why is the large tower locate in the south part of the castle which was previously considered as an observatory, unusually built at the lowest point? The second hypothesis of this study is that the observatory tower is usually built at the highest level, so the mentioned tower does not have an observatory use, and it is only defensive. The results of the study revealed that the current location of Rashidi castle, contrary to previous assumptions, could not be the entire Rab-e rashidi, but part of Rashid Abad. Historical maps, documents, and narratives of locals introduce this location as Rashidi castle. The present project has obtained the complete plan of the tower and the fortification of the manipulated castle during the Safavid era, and has also recreated its three-dimensional design. The general design of Rab-e Rashidi Rotheh plan and also architectural spaces were extracted as a table and turned into diagrams by referring to the text of the deed of endowment. The map of Rotheh was drawn by using them and based on a somewhat realistic scale. Field research has shown that there are not many works left from Rab-e Rashidi described in the deed of endowment. The purpose of publishing the results of the research is expressing the facts and events of Rab-e Rashidi as the most important scientific and academic phenomena in Iran during the eighth century, which has been done based on principled and cognitive documentary critique.}, Keywords = {Deed of Endowment of Rab-e Rashidi, Rashid Abad Fortress, Map of Colonel Qarajeh Daghi, Contradictions of the Wilber Plan, Rashidi County}, volume = {9}, Number = {19}, pages = {35-50}, publisher = {Art University of Isfahan}, url = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-562-en.html}, eprint = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-562-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Conservation and Architecture in Iran}, issn = {2345-3850}, eissn = {2538-2624}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Soltani, Mahdi and Nadimi, Hadi}, title = {History of Mentalities in Iranian Architecture: Subjects, Methods and References}, abstract ={In the history of Iranian architecture, different aspects of popular architecture are less known. Common people have been living in the buildings with significant architecture and had different mentalities towards them. They also had various opinions and beliefs about the profession of architecture itself, design and construction process, the architects and patrons. History of mentalities as an embranchment of cultural history was proposed by historians with regard to considerations of the people of the past toward different phenomena. We may use this historiographical approach in Iranian architecture studies and for understanding people's mentality toward different meanings of architecture. This approach studies collective and daily perceptions and views towards architecture, instead of focusing on the body of architectural properties and formal thoughts. This approach uses various common methods in humanities and has its own etiquette. Subjects and examples of the history of mentality in Iranian architecture are various. Topics such as people's mentality toward private architecture, their view to mythical architecture and also their imagination about prosperity concept are considered in this approach. This approach, with its own perspective, uses all relevant historical sources to recognize. However, some resources such as folk poetry literature, folk tales, travelogues, biographies, oral and pictorial sources, and objects related to architecture open up the way for history of mentalities in architecture more and better.

Light in traditional architecture and in Islamic culture is a symbol of God and divine unity. Therefore, it has a special place in the architecture of spaces, especially religious spaces, such as mosques. Today in contemporary mosques, less attention has been paid to the subject of light as an identifying element. The purpose of this article is to identify the qualitative characteristics of light (natural) based on the Quranic texts in line with the realization of the spiritual environment. The Qur'an has a central role in relation to science and religion due to its comprehensiveness. Therefore, by keeping the appearance and inspiration of the Qur'an and paying attention to it, it is possible to penetrate into the inner layers of the Quranic concepts and use these concepts in today's knowledge. The word "light" is one of the most important words of the Qur'an and its various uses in the Quranic verses form a broad radial network. To this end, this study is composed of two parts. The first part addresses the qualitative concept elucidation of the word “light” from Quran verses using content analysis with inferential -ijtihad (scholarship) approach. The outcome of the first part is the extraction of the conceptual components of “evidence principle”, “guidance principle”, “justice principle” and “excellence principle”.  The second part addresses transferring the concepts in devotional space body. This part uses survey and correlation approaches and its result is that each of these concepts is objectively visible in the body of the mosque. Obviously, with the qualitative presence of light (natural) in the worship space, objective and subjective concepts are created in space, causing the sense of spirituality (the path from appearance to inwardness) to the audience and ultimately increasing the belonging to the holy place. The results of this study confirm the hypothesis that the user of devotional space understands the manifestation of the above mentioned concepts in a devotional space provided that he/she observe the models specified in this study.  }, Keywords = {The Holy Quran, Devotional Space, Contemplation, Qualitative Light, Spirituality}, volume = {9}, Number = {19}, pages = {65-78}, publisher = {Art University of Isfahan}, url = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-597-en.html}, eprint = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-597-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Conservation and Architecture in Iran}, issn = {2345-3850}, eissn = {2538-2624}, year = {2019} } @article{ author = {Tadayon, Bahareh and Abouei, Reza and Ghalehnoee, Mahmou}, title = {Evaluation of Color Order of Historical Fabrics Landscape with the Aesthetic Perception of Urban Scape Approach; Case Study: Hassanabad Neighborhood of Esfahan}, abstract ={Landscape presents a new view in relation to human and environment and the way the space is interpreted. The modern view of landscape to human and environment is the result of a change in the traditional and classical view to the relationship between human and environment. With this view, the approach “Conservation of Historic Urban Landscape”, known as HUL, is one of the modern approaches provided to meet the requirements and widely protect the historical urban landscapes. This approach attempts to expand the prospects of historical conservation to all historical and cultural values shown in historical urban landscapes. One of the factors which can be specially taken into account is the “Color Order” of historical fabrics landscape, which is a reflection of native culture and identity of the place. The present research aims to present a method for the evaluation of “Color Order” of historical fabrics of landscape with a special view to issues and qualities involved in aesthetic perception. The research method of this study is descriptive-analytical; therefore, after analyzing the fundamentals and achieving the theoretical framework of the research, the evaluation criteria based on four quality groups involved in the aesthetic perception of location were extracted and were evaluated in Hassanabad Neighborhood using questionnaire and Delphi techniques. The research findings revealed that using color patterns with symbolic backgrounds in place architecture, using native materials, merging natural and artificial landscapes, and conservation of color pallets worthy to be used in modern construction play a determining role in the promotion of aesthetic perception of Color Order of historical fabrics of landscape. }, Keywords = {Color Order, Landscape, Aesthetic Perception, Historical Fabrics, Hassanabad Neighborhood of Esfahan}, volume = {9}, Number = {19}, pages = {79-100}, publisher = {Art University of Isfahan}, url = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-541-en.html}, eprint = {http://mmi.aui.ac.ir/article-1-541-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Conservation and Architecture in Iran}, issn = {2345-3850}, eissn = {2538-2624}, year = {2019} }
