Each architectural ornament within a specific space or building must be considered in relation to its surrounding elements for restoration purposes. It is imperative to avoid isolating individual ornaments or their parts when making decisions about restoration interventions, display methods, or relocation. However, this principle cannot be universally applied to all types of wall paintings. Canvas marouflaged murals that are not aligned with the semantic structure of the architectural space present a unique challenge. This study investigates the relationship between the creator's intent and the creation process of canvas marouflaged murals and their impact on restoration and display methods. Additionally, it explores the applicability of syntax theory in the conservation and restoration of these murals. The primary objective is to clarify the concept of syntax within the context of Iranian architectural ornaments, particularly canvas marouflaged murals, considering their dual nature and to provide a suitable interpretation of syntax theory. This developmental research, classified as applied-developmental, delves into the written sources to define the concept of syntax and examine the relationship between these murals and the semantic structure of the architectural space. The study categorizes canvas marouflaged murals based on their alignment with the architectural space. For those that do not align, the syntax theory may not be applicable. Syntax theory, as a novel approach in the restoration of canvas marouflaged murals, can contribute to preserving and strengthening the internal structure and organization of these valuable works.
