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 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.
