Survey Of Islamic Art In The Holy Shrine Of Ghasem (As) Ureh In The Damavand City Of Tehran Province
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Youzbashi, Atieh; Emamifar, Seyed Nezam Oldin
Islamic art or the arts of Muslims is a part of art in Muslim society and not necessarily by Muslims. Although in some cases, this arts may not go with the ethics and rules of Islam. The impact of Islamic and regional culture in this arts is obvious. Islamic art is not an art that is only related to Islam. The “Islamic” does not only refer to the religion but also it refers to the rich culture and different types of people who live in Islamic lands. Familiarity with Islamic art in the shrines and the pictorial motifs in them leads to getting familiar with semiology. Arts used in the shrines are one of the most obvious representatives of Islamic culture and spiritual atmosphere. The way of doing the research is based upon the descriptive and analytic nature, and the way of compiling information is combined. The way of taking sample is not random (Chosen) and the way of interpreting and analyzing the information is both qualitative. Initially in this research, the basic of Islamic art are introduced and then the example of Islamic art in the shrine of Ghasem (AS) which include, wood carving, fretwork, girih tile, illumination and reticulated metal. Motifs and signs and other features are shown in tables and diagrams and one motif is analyzed semiologically. Getting the meaning and understanding the patterns and motifs necessitate deep study. This essay is to consider pictorial motifs, religious beliefs and symbolic meaning in the Islamic art. In the Islamic art, we faced the repeated elements, like; the use of geometric patterns or non-realistic drawing of a flower or plant that is called arabesque. Arabesque motifs in Islamic art are often used as the symbol of a very vast universe which is created by God. Deliberation in not showing and imitating nature exactly is said to be as a sign of the modesty of the artists who believe, creation of perfection is just for god, as a result in the motifs and decoration of Damavand shrine, the flowers and plants that are specific for that region is not used.
Readout The Principles Of Compact City In The Neighborhoods Of The Iranian Cities (Case Study: Nazi Abad Neighborhood Of Tehran)
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Ahsani, Khatereh; Asgharzadeh, Ali
City is the manifestation of human culture and civilization. Urban neighborhoods as social spaces play an important role in the lives of citizens. Texture density in neighborhoods, concentration of complex land uses and their proximity to each other are closely associated with sustainable urban forms. Today, with the increase of urban population, we are observing transformation and destruction of urban neighborhoods and a lot of old neighborhoods are being destroyed under the pretext of having timeworn texture and lack of accountability to our urban population. Tehran metropolis is no exception to this. Here we encounter two urban problems: First, uncontrolled urban dispersion and second, a huge amount of buildings which haven't any identification and have formed regardless of their field bed. Compact city is a model of sustainable cities and this is an efficient model to address the phenomenon of urban dispersion. In addition, the model emphasizes the focus on the neighborhood. Nazi Abad neighborhood in Tehran, one of the old quarters of the city that has a compact and outdated texture. In recent years, new buildings are being built in the neighborhood, which were formed regardless of the identity and the dominant pattern in this neighborhood. This had a negative impact on the neighborhood and has tarnished its image. By using descriptive-analytic study as well as field studies on Nazi Abad neighborhood, this paper considers this neighborhood as part of the skeleton of Tehran and aims to solve these urban problems by providing some solutions and identify the patterns in Nazi Abad neighborhood. The contents listed in this article aims to provide key tools for urban planning, urban identity and locations for future designs.

The present study was conducted to explain the relationship between time and place attachment in two groups including travelers and natives who were presented in Javaherdeh region of Ramsar. The results showed that the duration of the relationship plays an important role in the process that connects people with place and finally, there are different ways in which the time is effective in the formation of meanings in a place.
Understanding Genetic Algorithms In Architecture
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Latifi, Mohammad; Mahdavinezhad, Mohammad Javad; Diba, Darab
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are computational techniques based upon evolution. They have been recently introduced in architecture to study present complexities in form and function. Despite growing trends and inclinations to use GAs, there is not an organized study and instruction about its usage in architecture. This library research, while examining the structure of GAs, seeks answers to these questions: 1. What is the necessity of GAs in architecture today? 2. Are GAs used to meet special needs of architecture or are they merely complex forms? 3. Haw can GAs come to our assistance in design? And last but not least 4. Does GAs serve reality or unreal abstract forms of an imaginative world!? To answer these questions, the present research studies GAs in architecture and other disciplines. It also investigates their functions in architecture and finally explains introductory parametric operations in this field.
The Role Of Neighborhood Identity In Creating The Sense Of Attachment To The Place In The Residents Of The Traditional Residential Fabric Of Tehran (A Case Study On Five Municipal Districts Of Tehran)
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Azemati, Saeid; Mansoury, Mansour; Dehkordi, Seyed Saleh Rokni; Mordavan, Ramin; Maghsodi, Mojgan
In the modern society, it is necessary to consider the neighborhood identity which plays a critical role in socialization and human-orientation of the urban structure. The social events in residential regions of cities which are known as the urban living cells are very determinant in residents’ liveliness. Therefore, the current research studies the neighborhood identity and the sense of attachment in urban residents. This research is a survey study, during which required data were collected using a questionnaire and an interview. After data had been collected and encoded, they were analyzed with statistical softwares. The statistical population of this study includes five municipal districts of Tehran (i.e. Tajrish, Navvab, Moniriyeh, Rahahan and Bahar). Sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula. Thus, 300 people were determined as the statistical population. According to the findings of this study, the age of people is an effective factor on their attachment to their neighborhood identity. Furthermore, those people who are more satisfied with their neighborhood have a stronger attachment to their neighborhood identity and as a result, these neighborhoods are essentially safer. The native inhabitants, compared to the non-natives, have a stronger attachment to the neighborhood identity. Those who have a stronger sense of attachment to the place participate more actively in the activities related to their neighborhood. Residents’ attachment to the neighborhood increases by the increase in the safety of the residential areas. Besides, the satisfaction of the urban performance affects on the attachment to the neighborhood identity. This will be effective on the increase in social interactions and liveliness of these neighborhoods.

Designing Orphanage With The Approach Of Creating Sense Of Belonging To The Environment
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Khanbabaei, Anahita
Children how grow up in a family environment with no love and attachment in an unsafe environment would be under emotional, ethical, social and metal crises. Although the crises make same children involved apparently; in deeper concept and in nature, they make whole society involved in it. One of the difficulties of the society is the issue of orphans. These are innocent children who have lost their family under specific conditions and have become orphan forcibly. In fact, orphan children are victims of the society, a society that has not only deprived them from having warm family that is their natural right, but also can't accept them and looks them as scoria. Problems of these children is lack of sense of security and meeting their needs, lack of self-confidence and lack of expressing problems with right person and lack of being loved by others are other shortcomings and mental and behavioral problems of these children. Deprivation of orphans from presence of parents as basic foundations of family system makes challenge for growth of their positive self-concept more than before. Deprivation of natural function of family can affect not only self-concept of orphans, but also it can affect their perception of future. Disappointed child is a child with negative attitude to him/herself and to future and compared to other children, the children experience less safe attachment in relation with a caretaker. However, need to belonging is a comprehensive need. Belonging means that desire to creating a sustainable social relationship and threatening this need in any manner can cause sense of loneliness. In fact, loneliness is a cognitive and emotional reaction to this threat and demonstrates that there is a gap between actual social relationship of person and desired social relationship. In this study, it has been tried to consider important factors to create sense of belonging to the environment in children to design a space for them, so that they can feel to be a member of society and feel less unsafe and alienation with the environment.
The Role Of Buildings Facades Of On Urban Landscape (Case Study: Old Context Of Sari)
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Alishah, Majid; Ebrahimi, Abdollah; Ghaffari, Faezeh
Facade and urban landscape, the dominant figure in the body of the city and containing the first messages in urbanism in the citizens’ outlook, has been a place of dialogue especially from the half of last century. The recognition of this theme its complex due to its’ close relationship with issue of identity and character of the city, and its’ scope was expanded with the beginning of the modern age and non-conventional management practices based on the law on urban development. In our society, urban landscape and face as a part of the country’s contemporary architecture conflict became as one of central focus of dialogue despite the specific cultural orientation of the system especially after the revolution and growth of population and urbanization share, war reconstructions, a massive expansion of cities in response to immigrant settlers and the expansion of higher education. * According to the purposes intended in this article, the method used in data collection method has been Library method and studying written documents. The content was analyzed using inductive reasoning method after data systematic and accurate foundation theoretical collection a and design of building facades in the old contexts of the city described. * The vulnerability of city spaces in front of inappropriate facades, in the design of buildings it should generally be noted that facades of buildings should be able to express the volume inside the building in addition to solidarity with public spaces. * So methodical design of facade and paying attention to ’riginality and beauty give the city identity and reduces the chaos of the city and thus turbulence of the people of city. This process leads to reconciliation of people with urban spaces and on the other hand prevents their remoteness from such places.

(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Tafti, Alireza Shabanian
Based on the increasing growth of concrete construction in the current development world, much progress in different scientific fields of concrete industry is occurred and production of structural lightweight concrete is the result of such progress. These concretes are constructed using lightweight and strong aggregates. Using different lightweight aggregates to reduce the weight of structural elements and finally structural light weight against earthquake has been development recently. This study applied ultralightweight diamotite. This lightweight aggregate has volume weight of 260 kg/m3 and from weight aspects, it is the lightest lightweight aggregate in the market. In recent years, using different fibers as construction material reinforcement in concrete industry has received much attention. In this study, spiral glass fiber with PVC coating and mesh texture are used. The Researches showed that glass fiber was harmless due to having a PVC coating. This study has experimental evaluation of the effect of using diamotite lightweight aggregate and glass fibers with PVC coating on structural lightweight concrete. To do this, some experiments are performed on all mixtures of lightweight concrete including water absorption test, compressive strength and unit weight on selected mixture design. Based on the results of mentioned constructed samples, the mentioned lightweight concrete had acceptable results despite the low unit weight compared to the similar samples in the presence of diamotite lightweight aggregate and fibers.
Studying The Myth Of Water In Ancient Iran And Its Relationship With Rain-Making Rituals
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Goharpour, Hasan; Jalalkamali, Vahide
Iran have always been conflicting with drought. As Dariush asks Ahura Mazda in his inscription in Takhte Jamshid to protect Iran from drought and lies. Creating myths is the first reaction of man’s mind at the face natural disasters, because the primary human were confused in understanding the causes of these occurrences, thus, their reaction were infused with fear and this fear has caused them to assume a metaphysical god for each phenomenon and seek shelter from him. As time flows, it becomes clearer that myths are a land’s valuable resources which can shed a light on the dark and unknown past. In the fables of creation, Water is one of the first things to be physically created and this is because of the significance of this life giving element. Thus, it is not far from expectation that the rain-making rituals and holding them during droughts have been always common in the ancient history of Iran.

(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Rahmatabady, Seied Sajad; Pashaei, Kourosh; Rezaei, Mehdi; Rahmatabady, Tahereh
Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran. In this region, nature, climate and environment is distinguished than other parts of the country. What has caused this difference certainly is Zagros Mountain. Special architecture of the dwellings and formation of many villages of this region have been affected by them. Zagros region tourism potentials and attractions have been considered by internal and external tourists in recent decade. Environmental and natural elements like: river, waterfall, forest, wildlife natural species and ecosystem and man-made elements like stair shaped houses, compatible with climate architecture and harmonization between construction and context have great effects on eco-tourists gathering. Researchers in this article scrutinize ecotourism features in a village (located in the heart of the Hawraman, in the middle Zagros) called Hajiij as a valuable texture village. Then the impacts of tourist on human and environmental components of the village and present threats and challenges have been studied. Beside field researches, questionnaire and interview with residents and officials as two statistical samples are applied in the research. After analyzing gathered data, research findings have been presented quantitatively. Finally strategies to face threats and weaknesses of village ecotourism have been presented. Applying them in a long term will have sustainable effects like reducing poverty, protecting native values and culture, economic development and reducing migration.
Evaluating The Effect Of Urban Renewal Provisions On Residential Satisfaction (Case Study: Renewal Plan Of Khoobbakht Neighborhood At Imam Ali District In Tehran)
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Sajjadzadeh, Hassan; Parto, Shahrzad; Palizi, Kamyar
With regard to increasing importance of urban regeneration, assessment of previous provisions is considered as a major step due to effect of urban renewal on quality of life and the necessity to use dilapidated fabrics in line with goals of sustainable development and avoidance from urban sprawl. Since residents are the main beneficiaries of urban renewal and this should come to realize aiming at improving their satisfaction with living area, in the present research the measure of residential satisfaction has been used, mentioned as a suitable index to determine desirability of living area and effects of provisions made for it. To measure variables, five-point Likert questionnaire has been used as the research questionnaire; to analyze data and test research hypotheses, one-sample t-test has been used; to compare extent of satisfaction in three groups including centralized renewal, semi-centralized and decentralized renewal, one-way variance analysis has been used. Results from research indicate that neighborhood renewal has not had a significant effect on residential satisfaction in it, resulted in reduction of satisfaction extent in most of indices especially social indices. Neighborhood renewal has led to increase of satisfaction in some physical indices such as physical quality of residential unit. This indicates that attention has been merely focused on physical dimension instead of considering all the components of residential satisfaction. Another important result is higher extent of satisfaction among residents with the purpose of decentralized renewal, which this result indicates the necessity to change from authoritarian modernization models to micro scale, participative and community-oriented models and avoidance from prescribing prearranged physical plans and the necessity to use facilitators public institutions.
The Analysis On Position Of Security In Architecture
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Moosavi, Seyed Mohammad Reza
The physical comfort is possible through appropriate access to energy and lack of pollution caused by it and living under favorable climatic conditions at suitable temperature and adequate humidity but in many cases spiritual and mental peace and comfort in human depend on the artificial environment in his/her surroundings. Thus human comfort is measured according to three categories of energy, climate, and artificial environment (building and city). The everyday life environment of human in which s/he is immobile and or in move is a space that can be favorable and or intolerable. On the other hand, creating sense of peace and comfort in individual at high levels is related to sense of security in individuals since sense of security may automatically overshadow other human’s requirements and in the case of sense of insecurity, most of senses in human will be reduced and or eliminated. Therefore, it is tried in this article to concern with security as one of the foremost environmental effects on human’s health. To this end, primarily it has been dealt with definition of urban space on the one hand and security on the other hand. Then, after classification of security, the role of urban spaces in sense of insecurity will be explored and finally a case example is proposed that covers security in world comprehensively.
Prioritization Of Administrations To Connect To The Internal Network With A Multiple Criteria Decision Making Approach (Case Study: Information Technology Administration Of Iran)
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-08) Movahedy, Somayeh
The internal network consists of communication substructures, governmental and nongovernmental developed data centers and software substructures that have been expanded across the nation. This network provides the required capacity for “maintenance and exchange of local information in the nation for electronic services development” and “access of internet” through nationwide bandwidth connecting bed for home users, businesses and executive administrations. This network integrates specialized, local and national networks in the country, consisting of two private and public sectors. The private sector is to connect and to exchange information and services between the executive administrations and private sector, providing the required services for general users. These two sectors join each other at such points as data centers. The problem of this research is the fact that since many national administrations have a number of access points and that all administrations must join this network within the next five years, and that identifying information technology indices such as existing points, connected to national headquarters and number of existing points, connected to provincial and city offices and number of existing and connected points of associated businesses for executive administrations of the nation is of great importance for materialization of an electronic government in the nation, in this research, we have been determined to prioritize the aforesaid factors and indices. The research method is of descriptive mathematical type and the technique used is TOPSIS. Moreover, the names of ministries have not been given herein this survey.
