The use of permeable design, adaptable equipment, and diverse multifunctional spaces facilitates social interactions in cultural and artistic centers. Such centers provide individuals with unique opportunities to interact in social, engaging, and dynamic environments where they can discover, cultivate, and develop their skills. Additionally, employing portable and multipurpose items alongside multifunctional spaces strengthens spatial permeability. This approach enables cultural environments to cater to the diverse needs of individuals while considering cultural conditions. Drawing on global experiences in designing user-centered cultural centers has proven to be highly valuable and applicable in Iran.The aim of this study is to examine the influential components for achieving desirable spatial quality in designing permeable cultural centers. This research is applied and employs descriptive and qualitative methods, relying on documentary studies, literature reviews, and analysis of existing resources. A review of articles and successful case studies from inside and outside Iran indicates that architectural design, movement and circulation patterns, integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, and attention to effective elements in permeable space design contribute to fostering creativity, social interaction, and individual flourishing in cultural and artistic centers. Furthermore, cultural centers provide numerous opportunities for social interactions.

Architectural concepts have been continuously reviewed and critiqued throughout history. Form, as a fundamental and primary concept of architecture, has always had a direct impact on architects' designs. It reflects the value system and is considered one of the foundational aspects of architecture. The term “morphing” originates from the word “form” and refers to the transformation form from one shape to another while maintaining continuity and adopting a new state. In fact, morphing signifies the transition of geometric shapes. The Porto Music House, designed by Rem Koolhaas, is considered as a case study for examining the morphing architectural style. Koolhaas is an architect known for embracing the impossible, as well as designing and executing diverse buildings in different styles. The Porto Music House is his most successful work and is critically reviewed in this research. This study highlights the significance of exploring how educational services redefine the way audiences interact with cultural institutions and, more broadly, with artistic performance and creativity. The current research investigates morphing architecture and the factors affecting the formation of the Porto Music House. The current research will be redeveloped with descriptive and integrated method of "quantitative" research from theory to case study, "qualitative" from study sample to theory of concepts. The analysis carried out between the morphing principles and the Porto Music House reveals that the design of Casa da Música represents morphing architecture. The elements of this style —such as transformation, continuity, complexity, and integration— can be clearly seen in this building.

Visual quality can have strong impacts on experience and satisfaction with exposure to the environment. The evaluative image depends on the placement of environmental symptoms and evaluations that shape emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. Effective components such as time, place, and companionship enhance collective memory and remembering place. Cultural roles are shaped by the mental image and create an antisocial personality for of travelers, buyers, visitors and other people who experience the landscape of the city. Therefore, the presence of cultural - historical spaces in the area of Imamzadeh Hassan to the Quds square, with special potential to create community-oriented  spaces, enhance the likability of the place .The research focuses on influencing of the collective manifestation and the continuity of presence on cognitive patterns of urban spaces. The purposes is achieving the guiding framework and create social urban open spaces, so descriptive-analytical method by conducting field studies, identify the quality of event spaces and its necessary facilities and specifications from the perspective of citizens. To strengthen the sense of collective memory in community-based, solutions are provided to establish and produce the necessary conditions.Research finding represent four criterions to identify mental images in collective memory in urban spaces, pleasantness, exciting, anxious and boring are effective in evaluating the quality of space. To create event-oriented spaces at the city level, it is important to identify the relationship of mental images with psychological and sociological criteria.

The relatively closed, unrevised, out of date and non-native educational model, weak management in the link between university, profession and research, seem to be the most important reasons for the inefficiency of the field of architecture that can make valuable changes by applying interdisciplinary discourse. In this regard, the question that arises relates to the necessary planning strategies needed to increase flexibility and self-regulation in response to changes in society and meeting needs in architecture education despite the transformed structure of architecture today in the world and Iran.  It seems that the use of interdisciplinary knowledge leads to greater effectiveness among different fields of knowledge and its impact is reflected in the evolution of the field. The research method was based on a qualitative-quantitative strategy and attempts to introduce the effective areas of interdisciplinary courses in architectural development by using content analysis. In this regard, it analyzed the content of the curriculum of the top 9 universities in the world and compared it with those of Iranian universities, recommending the integration of interdisciplinary courses (optional and elective) and architecture education. Research findings show that interdisciplinary studies in architecture can, by linking the needs of society, research and education, the inclusion of different areas of knowledge in the content of the curriculum, achieve and build interdisciplinary knowledge that is a matter of time. By designing different educational models with a focus on interdisciplinary and background knowledge in the field of basic sciences can to some extent cause the dynamics of the educational system, training architects in various fields with interdisciplinary nature and thus provide its growth in profession, education and research.

learning architecture. It seems that the mismatch with the needs and current problems of society, forgetting the values of Iranian culture and the lack of basic and applied research, has led architectural education in Iran to a developing trend towards the West lifestyles, norms and Culture. One of the main intention to western education model in architecture is that the modern learning and formal education of architecture in Iran born by the importing of French model (Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and French Royal Academy), German model (Poly technical education, engineering learning and training Schools), English model (practical and experimental learning) and American model (combinational learning). Architectural education in Iran starting by applying French model; and after Islamic Republic revolution in 1979, if some schools and agents attempt to defining local model (Iranian and Islamic pattern) in architectural education but their models cannot developed through different architectural schools. In the last decades development of Anglo- American architectural education models impress all parties in it.  Even though there are many researches concentrate on architectural education in contemporary Iran, but almost none of them focus on Zeitgeist. Interdisciplinary and its synchronicity with global approaches and the needs of society and social context, to recover and making efficient models are the aim of this study  in both, which is suitable for Iran’s situation and Context. This study emphasizes the impact of the architectural education process in relation to the zeitgeist- which is derived from Hegelian literature and philosophy- and explaining its triple components which is dialectic, critical thinking, and updating in education. Finally, the educational programs evaluation has been done by testing these components.

The present study is a cross-sectional and applied research. The research methodology was based on qualitative method and content analysis. In research process, the contents of the curriculum of the nine top universities -which is selected in valid ranking and geographical and continental distribution- in the world were analyzed by focusing on Zeitgeist’s concept. Statistical descriptive analysis is the approach to findings and its conclusion.

This study showed that Delft University in two fields of history and theory courses with thirty five percent  and in the field of technology with approximately thirty two percent, and the Massachusetts University with approximately  fifty two percent share in the design department are leading. In interdisciplinary courses, California universities are distinguished from others by about thirty five of the courses. Interestingly, Iran's curriculum has not achieved a significant share in the competition among the world's universities.

This research showed that current problems, historical and cultural transcendence is equal to Zeitgeist, which is derived from our society. Although there are a variety of educational models and applied in specific and appropriate educating cases, in all of them some features have a key role to approach the Zeitgeist including changeability, program and design electivity, flexibility in learning curriculum, critical thinking, problem redefining in teaching approaches, and situations simulation.
