Numerical Methods to Explain the Pattern of Color Application in the Shell of Safavid Domes
The evolution of traditional Iranian architecture with the emergence of identity-building elements such as the dome moves in the direction of a kind of perfectionism. The Iranian dome is considered as an important element in architecture that has been used in various types of buildings in terms of its original historical prestige, strong theoretical foundations, unique features and keeping the space cool. The dome is in fact the presentation of a complete architecture, whether it is used as a structure or where it is a symbol of transcendental truths. In fact, the dome, as an urban landmark, helps to read the space by breaking the sky line and directing the view towards its colorful world. In the process of shaping the space in Iranian architecture, we see the abstraction of colors and images in buildings. The Iranian architect creates with the use of various arrays. The culmination of the manifestation and display of the attributes of the arrays appears in the dome, and the color, which is considered as an effective visual element in the urban landscape, doubles this splendor and charm. In fact, color is a tool by which the architect can identify the form and influence the visual logic of the space. The colors in the dome are narrators of a deep and mystical meaning that guide the viewer’s mind towards discovery and intuition. Islamic and geometric maps, shapes and patterns, along with the conscious use of color and attention to harmony and contrast, in the shadow of a novel order, present the dome as an element of semantic index and evoke a sense of harmony and connection in the viewer’s mind. The color on the dome is part of a larger whole that reflects a fundamental concept, to depict a transcendental truth. We are witnessing the peak of this art and cryptography in the Safavid period. This study tries to provide a color pattern by examining how the color accompaniment in the outer shell of the domes in the Safavid period to be used to create an atmosphere with identity in today’s Iranian architecture. The method of data collection in this study was the use of field studies. To analyze this data, two visual methods and the use of digital software based on computer simulation have been used. Then, with logical reasoning and content analysis, the final results are obtained.
