Text/Architecture Semantics Based on Islamic Teachings

One of the main problems which have been considered during recent decades in architecture is symbolization and in general, meaning- making in architecture which depends to how understand the process of the meaning interpretation in architectural works. Due to this problem, there are some important questions in the theory field of architecture such as can we assume a final meaning for an architectural work or not or can we present a certain framework for discussing among architectural work, its architect and its audience or not? During this research and according to Islamic teachings, for responding to these questions, a new approach will be theorized which will conclude a new theory about the problem of this research which is named “text/architecture semantics based on Islamic teachings”. Preliminary purpose of the explanation of this theory is to achieve a model of artistic interpretation that is consistent with Islamic teachings to guarantee the appropriateness of the appearance and conscience in meaning-making process. Based on this model, it will be specified that during the process of interpretation of architectural works, what components are effective and basically, audience how and during which process would deduce the meanings of architectural works. It is clear that the function of this model is too important for symbolization and meaning-making in architectural works.
