introverted architecture

Paying too much attention to the eternal power of reasoning and ignoring the latent mental spaces has created crises of the gap between the contemporary human and the artificial environment. Therefore, it seems vital to recognize the roots of the connection between the mind and the body in the fields of architecture in the past. Aiming to identify the mystical field in the Iranian introverted architecture, this study investigates another field, beyond the realm of existence mirror. The theoretical foundations of the research specifically refer to the position of the phenomenon of mirror in philosophy of Illumination and its role in the Iranian introverted architecture. The main research question refers to how the essence of space appears in the architecture. The qualitative method of this research is based on an interpretive philosophical view that uses the methodology of logical reasoning to explore the inner reality of space-place. The results show that the development of other sides of things and the recognition of the field beyond the realm of mirror would be possible by the transition from the methods of looking inside and outside in the fields of Iranian introverted architecture. Meanwhile, “the confrontation of mind and object” leads to “internal and external transformation of the human being” and creates “another realm called the world of mystics". The degree of presence in the space of introverted architecture is adapted to Suhrawardi's philosophy and passing through the seven steps of: the trouble of separation from the outside, joining to the inside, awakening, astonishment, annihilation, immersion in the depths of maze, the return and development of a mirror phenomenon, the human enters another realm of existence. At the end of this path, the mystics will appear in the interior spaces of architecture.

In different periods of history, tribal, ethnic, climatic, religious, etc. cultural characteristics have had an impact on the design of the architectural body. Differences in the cultural characteristics of different climates have led to the emergence of distinct shapes in living spaces and the shape of habitats. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of culture in the design of the architectural body in North Khorasan, Bojnourd city. Since the residents of this province and city are composed of different ethnicities, we selected two Turkmen and Kermanj ethnic groups and put the studies and studies done by focusing on these two ethnic groups, which constitute the majority of the residents of this city. In order to achieve this goal, three basic questions are raised: 1- What is the role of culture in the type of architectural body of North Khorasan province? 2- What is the most important cultural indicator influencing the form of cultural settlements in North Khorasan? 3- What is the most influential space of culture in architecture? Following the answers to the above questions, he studied systematic and systematic documents and then conducted a semi-structured interview with several elites in the relevant field. The results show cultural characteristics such as representation of relationships and gender roles, privacy and Privacy based on gender culture, individual and social ties have had the greatest impact on North Khorasan's colonial body. Based on the above cultural features, the architectural body between these two ethnic groups is classified into two types of introverted and extroverted architecture. Introverted architecture with an emphasis on the separation of public and private arenas among Kermanshah and extroverted architecture with an emphasis on the integration of public and private arenas among Turkmens.
