Reviewing the competition of the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran according to Hegel's thought and the concept of "the spirit of time

The subject of the research is the re-reading of the competition, which has been considered as one of the most effective currents of contemporary architecture after the revolution. It seems that there are some ambiguities regarding the refereeing and the announcement of the results of this competition, and this research has been prepared with the aim of achieving and eliminating these ambiguities. A historical re-reading and citation of what happened more than two decades ago in the history of contemporary Iranian architecture.This re-reading is based on a historical theory with questions such as: the historical basis of the designers 'and judges' ideas, as well as the criteria for choosing the form in the competition? How does the classification of designers and judges compare these criteria with Hegel's historiography as one of the paradigms of interpretive-historical research and how to extract non-architectural interventional factors in selecting the top rank? The most important goal of the research is to measure the conformity of Hegel's historical perspective with the view of the jury and the designers participating in the National Library of Iran competition. Achieving this goal will have other sub-categories, including achieving the intellectual structure of the judges and participants in the competition, as well as measuring the involvement of non-architectural factors in the judging process and selecting the best work.The method of data collection is historical and finally in the processing of this information has been used as an interpretive method. Thus, Hegel's historicist approach has been used as an instrument of thought in the interpretation of history. however, has been the basis for historical studies in the research method. Hegel's ideas see history as a gradual evolution of human consciousness.
