A Study on the Architectural Facades of the Last Decade of Tehran Regarding the Principles of Murals

Murals are the most important arts among all sorts of urban arts. We often concentrate on wall paintings and their color qualifications, but the turning point, which is the artist’s main job, is the relationship between the painting and the building. Although each artwork in a city has its own unique effect on urban surface, but because our city is full of architectural facades, obviously the most important urban arts which affect the city are the murals formed by architectural facades. The present article which is library based, analyzing and field verified, deals with the study of architectural facades with an artistic point of view, presents a solution to repose the architectural facades of the last decade of Tehran(case study: Enghelab St, From Enghelab Sq. to Felestin Crossroad), regarding the principles of murals. Hypothesizing this, it seems that architecture can be changed from its sheer functional role to a wall painting, preserving its functional role. In this way, by explaining a criteria and establishing a superior expert organization in the field of urban arts, besides reposing architectural facades, understandings of fine arts can be promoted.
