The history and past of Iran's architecture is tied to various patterns and geometric motifs, as geometric motifs have been used to create decorative arrays of buildings and cities. Ahvaz city is one of the cities that has houses with decorative arrays in its old structure. These arrays at the entrance of the buildings and the internal and external walls of the buildings are often of the brick type, which act as the side shell of the building and are made of a variety of geometric motifs and changes in the pattern of the arrangement of bricks. The brick decorations of Ahvaz houses are valuable in terms of studies. The most important research questions are, "How many types are the geometric patterns of the brick decorations of Ahvaz houses divided into?" and "What is the frequency of each type of decoration, separately for internal and external walls?" Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the geometric patterns in the decorations of Ahvaz houses, and at the same time, the question raised in the research is answered. The research method is a combination of survey and historical-interpretive methods. The information has been collected through library and personal studies. The data test is based on Vicor's analytical method. The sample population consists of identified Qajar and Pahlavi period houses with brick decorations that are weighted by Shannon-entropy method, then the information obtained from the sample population survey was analyzed using statistical software and the Victor method. Finally, with logical analysis, it is concluded that the decorations of the Ahvaz houses, like their bodies, are in accordance with the climate and have visual and structural diversity. The decorative arrays of Ahvaz houses are more than beautiful, with diversity and functions such as air conditioning, easy passage for passers-by outside the house, spatial privacy in the house, creating more surface on the upper floors, creating shade on the walls and dissipating heat, preventing rain from falling on a part of the house. The facade of the building is to create variety of colors and variety of decoration and variety of form. It was also concluded that criteria such as geometric patterns, type of decoration, proportions, ratio of decoration to the wall, relationships and their arrangement can be used to measure decorations.

Although the learning approach is gradually changing from teacher-centered to student-centered, the pattern of designing school in Iran still is following the inefficient approach of teacher-centered. Learning environments nowadays are being less formally timetabled and increasingly collaborative and socially participating oriented. 
Inductive reasoning has been applied in this qualitative study to compare the two linear patterns of corridor-class and open schools as the representatives of the school’s educational approaches. The aim is comparing the performance of the two patterns based on physical planning, developing multiple intelligence and learning methods. The results indicate that the pattern of common schools is a comparative advantage in the need for required infrastructure and thus less construction costs, but there are more limitations in terms of its main goals which include providing the effective environment to develop multiple intelligence and a variety of teaching methods comparing to the street learning pattern.

Skyline,is an important factor In explaining the locative characteristics and Qualitative  properties of urban scape, As an indicator of improved urban life. This study has used one of the Contemporary urban studies methods, Because of the Appropriate and functional Capabilities and Analyzes Its impact on the urbanscape. This analysis is done based on the definitions in the field of urbanscape and it’s elements, So that the skyline addition to being Quantitative indicators to explain and identity a cityscape, Checked as an urban” edge”, visual elements of urbanscape. While traditional Iranian cities according to their formal structure has been a characteristics of the skyline, Which plays a major role in quality to that city.

This article is descriptive-functional study and Survey Research that, Attemptto analyze the use of new concepts in the field of mathematics and related software (Matlab-Benoit), skyline as (a fractal  phenomenon) is effective factor on shape of the city and its Quality. Calculated In each picture ,Number of skyline’s  fractal dimension, This number Specifies the location features and spatial quality by compared with the other sequences’s fractal dimension. The results have functional role of the analysis and visual perspective of urban planning and management. On the other hand, according to the definitions in the Urbanscape Studies, Urban edges are elements of  cityscape that  have  common component  with  skyline.therefore It  will investigate  as the edges of  the city, In a qualitative sense.

The fast growth of urbanism in Iran throughout the last half-century resulted in upholding the expansion of cities as well as the promotion of constructions thereof. Of significant problems and challenges Iran’s cities and metropolises ,in particular, are exposed to, is the failure of urban development plans in control of city height and density. A matter which has led to 100% expansion of the city area with a population density about 100 individuals in each acre of Isfahan metropolis, in a way that is far beyond the urban predicted developing plans in surrounding areas and mostly agriculture fields. As for the existence of about 2500 acres approved archaic fabric as well as similar disapproved archaic fabric in comparison with the 21000-acre area of the city, it has been ineffective in the renovation and development of inner fabrics.
There are multiple books and studies regarding the performance of these plans mostly on impressibility of these plans from external factors such as economic, social, politic conditions and the evaluation of their implementation level under their influence. What is discoverable in this study in a descriptive-analytic way and in the scale of one district out of 15 districts of Isfahan is the exploration of two residential fabric physical factors, i.e., segmentation and passage network patterns on attested heights by-law for district-4 for the evaluation of implementation level of predicted height and density in its last urban development plan, that is, comprehensive plan revision enacted in 2014.
According to the records and maps achieved from the present study, the height plan implementable in district 4 is in contrast with attested height plan; likewise, the 24% density predicted in its perspective is not accessible.

In the following article, the necessity of effectiveness and application of historicalknowledge in architectural design is discussed. In other words, how historical data canbe an approach to enhance students’ design insights. A review of the literature suggeststhat one of the challenges of teaching architecture is helping students in the process ofcreating new ideas. Accordingly, one of the processes pursued by the designers and thestudents is referring to similar designs and the literature. Therefore, searching for tools andequipment that can help use previous literature and focus on their fundamental features,is of importance. The most appropriate leading-edge solution is to target architecturalhistory education by changing the teaching patterns that attempt to create contexts as wellas teaching students the correct ways and methods of adopting backgrounds to studentsand recall applications for achieving appropriate design elements and patterns so that theycan be used in today’s architecture in a new way. This study seeks to identify pattern-basedreading which is related to architecture and is a need for modern education of architecturalhistory, which will have a positive impact on the quality and variety of ideation of studentsmajoring in architecture. Therefore, the most important research questions of this studyare: what is the effect of pattern-based reading on the ideation process of students majoringin architecture? And what are the components of pattern-based reading in teachingarchitectural history? Hence, the present paper aims to find solutions to the application ofpatterns and concepts of architectural history in architectural design using pattern-basedreading in architectural history teaching through a qualitative-quantitative approach withempirical as well as a library-based research tools (through studying related theories anddefinitions), student questionnaire (content analysis), and field study through participatoryand non-participatory observation and finally, pre-test and post-test implementationand analysis of its results. By referring to the results obtained from the tests, and aftercontrolling the effect of the pre-test, the quality, and the variety in the ideas provided,there was a significant difference and since the experimental groups mean score was high,this indicated the positive effect of pattern-based reading in the instruction of architecturalhistory on the quality, variety of ideas, and art works created by students of architecture

The main purpose of this study is to identify the components of teaching the history of Islamic architecture by focusing on the effectiveness of content implementation techniques in accordance with skill and architectural goals and based on the professional experience of university professors to create a conceptual framework and develop theoretical foundations of teaching. The researcher approach in this part of the research is a qualitative approach adopting the phenomenon of phenomenology. Participants included 15 professors of architectural history who were selected through purposive sampling to achieve theoretical saturation. Data were collected using in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The data analysis was based on inductive content analysis using coding at three levels: open, axial and selected. The relevant findings showed that the basic categories of effective teaching of architectural history in terms of educational skills include: 1) teaching tailored to personality traits, 2) teaching based on educational skills, 3) teaching based on learning and problem-based design thinking, and 4) Teaching strategies for recognizing and perpetuating concepts and patterns.

By stating the limited system, Alexander defines the language of the pattern in specific rules that these rules can be the factor of culture, tradition, history, etc., in the matter of quantity and dimensions of peimoon and golden proportions. The pattern language of Christopher Alexander plays an essential role in understanding and updating traditional architecture and transferring meaning and function to modern architecture, as he believes that by expressing patterns and their role in structuring and adding them to the building, increases the life and quality of the building. In the current research, attempt has been made to analyze language of the Qajar model houses of Tabriz and its adaptation based on Christopher Alexander's theory of the three Qajar houses of Tabriz. In the meantime, the Qajar houses of Tabriz are more important due to their unique architectural components and the diversity of their spatial patterns on the one hand and richness of related decorations on the other hand. This research is based on a general, descriptive and analytical method. The statistical population includes a group of 30 experts. Data analysis was done by ground theory and multivariate entropy decision making with the help of MAXQDA and Spss software. The findings of the research with ground theory method showed that the language the Qajar house model in terms of aesthetics; Functionality and sense of place have been adapted to Alexander's theory. Also, correlation of three components with the model language of Qajar houses is equal to 0.966. The results showed that in terms of aesthetics, the house of Amir Nizam Grossi, Khatai and Ali Mesio scored 0.96, 0.92 and 0.81, respectively. In the functional dimension, Nizam's house scored 0.95 and Khatai and Ali Mesio houses respectively. They got 0.87 and 0.84 points. After Hess McCann, Amir Nizam's house scored 0.99, and Ali Miso's and Khataei's houses scored 0.93 and 0.91. The results showed that all three examined samples often obtained high scores. In fact, the structure of the research is based on the idea that the timeless quality of the Qajar house pattern is consistent with Alexander's pattern language theory.

 Islamic architecture is a platform for the Muslim society, which can be considered as the experience of human groups with perceptive powers. Therefore, paying attention to the deep levels of human perception requires a valuable historical background, which is provided in Dezful brick decorations. The aim of the research is to investigate the meaning and comprehensibility of decorative patterns on the minds of users. The present research is a combination of quantitative and qualitative method, which is used to describe and analyze research data by examining case samples, library studies, and Vicor method. About the results of the research, it can be stated that there is a relationship between the perception of the Muslim human and the concrete patterns, which can be investigated through the considered concepts and meanings. Also, the perception of Xowun decorations is formed by the mental powers of the artist or architect and the ruling thoughts of the Muslim society which is a manifestation of human thoughts, so that by applying the thought in the patterns used in each of the decorations, its external and internal levels are determined. Therefore, the quantitative and qualitative analyzes show that the decorative groups are in the belief and religious, hybrid, and plant categories that have the greatest impact on the concepts and the geometric, technical categories have a lesser impact.
