Recognizing the Principles of the Constructive Components of the Ilkhanid Period Mosques Case Example: Tabriz city

Since the arrival of Islam in Iran, we have witnessed a great change in the form, content and place of performance of these arts in architecture, which is due to the social and religious context of societies. Since the advent of Islam in Iran, we have witnessed extensive physical and non-physical changes in the architecture of mosques. The Ilkhani period started with severe destruction, but with the arrival of worthy Iranian ministers and the conversion of the Ilkhani kings to Islam, there was an advance in the architecture of mosques. In the present research, with the descriptive and analytical method that has been carried out through the library study, an attempt has been made to first mention a brief history of the historical developments of the Ilkhanid period. Then, the mosques of this period have been examined, then the physical content of the buildings, including the arrays and decorations of the porches, domes, etc., which has a symbolic aspect, has been analyzed. The analysis of the elements of the mosques shows the special attention of the patriarchal kings to Islamic teachings. Along with these patriarchs, they tried to build mosques in accordance with the existing conditions at that time, taking into account the climatic and social conditions of the city of Tabriz.
