Recognition of the Objective and Subjective Dimensions of the Aesthetics of Islamic Architecture in the Contemporary Era

Throughout history, aesthetics has been considered as an ancient attraction and has been discussed in various fields. Beauty is not just a matter of the mind, it must be understood as an objective truth. The strcutures of the Islamic era, as important urban phenomena, are of special importance in terms of aesthetic features. Thus, in recent decades, foreign and domestic researchers have examined various aspects of such a perspective. Thus this research, exclusively, emphasizes the aesthetic dimension of the environment and the form of architecture. This research study is carried out via an analytical-applied means with a "survey method" in field studies; moreover, data is collected by objective observation of Islamic buildings and a subjective "questionnaire”. The prioritization of objective and subjective aesthetic data of the body and place of architecture, particularly contemporary Islamic architecture is the focus of this research. The research findings show that the objective and mental criteria of people and architects are slightly different, but the objective perception of beauty of the environment and the body of architecture in both groups is significant. Likewise, the study of data displays that the beauty of the structure, body and architectural space has an imperative effect on the objective and mental understanding of the aesthetics of architecture.
