    The Role of Climate and Culture on the Formation of Courtyards in Mosques Hossein Soltanzadeh* Associate Professor of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Tehran Central Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Received: 23/05/2015; Accepted: 30/06/2015 Abstract The process regarding the formation of different mosque gardens and the elements that contribute to the respective process is the from the foci point of this paper. The significance of the topic lies in the fact that certain scholars have associated the courtyard in mosques with the concept of garden, and have not taken into account the elements that contribute to the development of various types of mosque courtyards. The theoretical findings of the research indicate that the conditions and instructions regarding the Jemaah [collective] prayers on one hand and the notion of exterior performance of the worshiping rites as a recommended religious precept paired with the cultural, environmental and natural factors on the other hand have had their share of founding the courtyards. This study employs the historical analytical approach since the samples are not contemporary. The dependant variables are culture and climate while the form of courtyard in the jame [congregational] mosque is the dependent variable. The statistical population includes the jame mosques from all over the Islamic world and the samples are picked selectively from among the population. The findings have demonstrated that the presence of courtyard is in part due to the nature of the prayers that are recommended to say in an open air, and in part because this is also favoured by the weather in most instances and on most days.

M.A of architecture Corresponding Author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The mosques as the most important built structure in all historical eras of Islamic architecture has a special place in research and investigation. Researching the Iranian architecture and querying its blind spots of its transformation can be a proper context to investigate and analyze the role of Iranian architects in Islamic architecture. The present study using a descriptive-analytic method embarked on recognizing the importance of mosque structure in Islamic architecture and distinctive features of Safavids as milestone of Iranian architecture. Finally peculiar features of ShaikhLotfollah mosque was compared with Tabriz Kaboud mosque. Certainly ShaikhLotfollah mosque of Isfahan is one of the most prominent Iranian-Islamic structures built in the eastern side of NaqsheJahan square causing the emergence of different hypotheses on building of these exceptional states due to its peculiar features. The results showed that kaboud mosque is not Iranian regarding design features having Turkish adaptation. Finally after the comparison it was known that however ShaikhLotfollah mosque was built in Safavids in Isfahan style, since Safavids were of Turks, they renew their old tradition of mosque building style in Shaikhlotfollah mosque. Key words: Islamic architecture, descriptive-analytic, Shaikhlotfollah Mosque, Kaboud Mosque. INTRODUCTION The mosques structures as the most important built structure in all historical eras of Islamic architecture have always had a special place in research and investigation.

  • Recognition of Light-Openings in Iranian Mosques' Domes with Reference to Climatic Properties
    International Journal of Architectural Engineering & Urban Planning Recognition of light-openings in Iranian mosques’ domes With reference to climatic properties Mohammadjavad Mahdavinejad1,*, Soha Matoor2, Amene Doroodgar3 Received:June 2011, Accepted: November 2011 Abstract Mosque architecture is considered as a potent visual symbol of the Islamic architects’ design ability. Prayer-hall as the manifestation of equality between the believers and the unity of architectural space has challenged such an ability throughout the history. This study, considering the characteristics of light-openings in the domes of Iranian mosques’ Prayer-hall, aims to investigate these domes’ possible relationship with the climatic features of each mosque. To this end, eighteen case-studies according to the research analytic approach are studied to determine: 1. the relationship between the mosques construction period (Iranian architecture styles) and its light-openings number on the one hand and its climatic features on the other hand, 2. The relationship between the light-openings’ location and the climatic features of each mosque, 3. The relationship between the light- openings’ number and the climatic feature of each mosque and finally, 4. The relationship between the prayer-hall’s height and the number of light openings of each mosque on the one hand and its climatic feature on the other hand. The study shows that Iranian architects have given considerable priority to the natural ventilation function of the light-openings, So, what used to be considered as the domes' main function, allowing the light to the interior space, is considered as their secondary function. Keywords: Light-opening, Light, Natural ventilation, Hot-dry climate, Cold climate, Mosque prayer-hall 1.

    THE SOCIETY FOR ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018 More than five hundred years before Christ, Cyrus the Great founded one of the world’s first empires at Pasargadae. Over the centuries Persian civilization has been impacted by diverse cultural influences from invading Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and Turks. Join Dr. Keelan Overton on a journey through Iran where impressive monuments serve as vivid testament to the extraordinary history and culture of the country. The name Persia, used by the ancient Greeks, is derived from the southwesterly province of Pars which was the cradle of the Persian Empire. It was here that the Achaemenids became the first kings of a united country. They built capitals at Pasargadae and Persepolis and ruled over territory which stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea and from China in the east to the Mediterranean shores in the west. It is a welcoming and beautiful country of contrasts, of jagged mountains and golden deserts punctuated by slender wind towers, crumbling clay-baked caravansaries, and everywhere a horizon pierced by mosques and turquoise minarets. ----------------------------------Tour Highlights -------------------------------------- Tehran– 3 nights Visit Jameh Atigh, 9th c.

INTRODUCTION In Muslim art and architecture, geometry has an important role, which is used as pattern with the purpose of ornamentation and spatial organizations. Especially Iranian traditional art is stated as inherently a geometry-oriented nature [8]. By examining Iranian art and architecture, dynamism and complexity could draw the attention in traditional cities in different eras. This organized complex geometry has a continuous language starts from urban scale to even the ornaments of a building in a micro scale. Akkach, in his article: „In the Image of the Cosmos Order and Symbolism in Traditional Islamic Architecture‟, tries to prove that Islamic architecture is far from being just a functionally versatile form and it has a rich symbolism associated with its underlying geometry [2].
