Semantics in Architectural Works Based on Islamic View

 By examining “quiddity of meaning in architectural works”, the authors claimed to have introduced a new theory in the field of the meaning of architectural works entitled “semantics in architectural works based on the Islamic view”. The main purpose of explaining this theory is to explain the nature of meaning in the architectural works from the Islamic point of view, so as to clarify the answers to such questions as “how is the semantic domain of architectural works” and” quiddity of the role of architect in shaping the meaning of the work”. The method used to derive the aforementioned theory is a mixed method (consisting of qualitative content analysis and deduction). In addition, according to the theoretical nature of the theory, data collection was carried out through documentary library studies and by analyzing the rational basis and the philosophical foundations of the Islamic teachings and, in particular, the rational-philosophical teachings. Based on the results of this theory, firstly, the meaning of the effect, from the conception point of view, is influenced by the three components, including the architect, the framework of work, and the field. However, from the interpretation point of view, in addition to the three components, the fourth component, named stakeholder, is also significant. Secondly, the semantic domain of architectural works is semi-closed, regulated, and limited; this limitation is due to the existence of a common factor named nature. Therefore, considering the role of this common and constant factor, the architectural work does not the ability to induce any meaning, and every framework has a certain meaning.
