Citizens' dissatisfaction has been generated by the reduction in the quality of residential settings as a result of cities' fast expansion and development, which has led to issues such as mental depression and different types of urban unrest and damage. In such conditions, several architectural and urban planning think ers and theorist s have recommended "enhancing the quality of the living environment" as a means of reaching the aim of "environmental perception." The approach's major goals are divided into two categories: improving the physical state of the living enviro nment and enhanc ing residents' mental perceptions of the quality of their living environment. This is accomplished by attempting to generate favorable physical/environmental circumstances as well as a positive assessment of the environment's objective and observable eleme nts. To achieve this, it is necessary to identify the variables and components that affect the quality of the living environment, as well as to measure the level of residents' perception of each component , to develop appropriate strategies if there is a cl ear difference between the measured and desired situations , so as t o enhance and improve the quality components. Thus, the current study attempted to provide a model using a descriptive - analytical method by examining various theories and experiences in t he field of quality, so that it can be used in Shiraz city's e nvironmental ly and s ocial ly for evaluat ing the perception of residential environment and to take action on the specified goals. Once the primary factors, which include physical, functional - funct ional, and social variables, have been identified , t he factors impacting perception of the environment were then assessed using the field survey and questionnaire, with the spatial physical variable receiving the highest score. In this resp ect, the enhance ment of urban life and the inhabitants' perceptions of the environment in their region pave the way for the eradication of many social issues that is now influencing residential environments

Architecture is a mixture of science and art. Accordingly, there is always moving between the two poles of sense and sensibility. There is always something new to discover and interpret in artif acts. Theorists in aesthetics and psychology believe that many architectural forms have cultural, sociological, philosophical, psychological, etc. meanings higher than their functional values, which can be expressed through the structure of architecture. C arl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst and founder of the School of Psychoanalysis, by studying dreams, sacred texts and myths, could reach archetypes in the human psyche that have been repeated throughout the history of human life in art and human works. Jung believes th at there is a psychological system that has a collective, universal, and impersonal nature that is common to all human beings. This collective unconscious does not grow individually but it is inherited and consists of pre - existing forms, ie archetypes. The purpose of this article is to answer the question of how to understand its reverberation in the structure of architecture from an accepted value in the field of psychoanalysis. Based on the nature of the research, this research is qualitat ive and has been done by descriptive - analytical method. The results of the research indicate that in fact, part of architecture as art is a symbolic expression of the collective human psyche and transforms its mental contents into matter. Architecture occu pies two thresho lds at the same time; First, structural, industrial and material reality, and second, abstract, semantic, artistic and spiritual.

Architecture education has long been related to many topics. The assortment of these topics and their correct arrangement in the learning pr ocess has been one of the key subjects in forming educational systems and the description of courses in this university major. Simultaneously, the effectiveness of an educational system in educating people in the work environment is another concern that is considered as a measure of the quality of the same educational system in public judgment. This study aims to recognize the areas of employment and capabilities affected by the areas of knowledge and skills that each job position requires. To this end, in terms of their relationship with each skill, the arrangement and planning of architecture courses are valuable for qualitative and quantitative review. Under a qualitative paradigm and with a logical reasoning approach, the current researc h tries to under stand the relationship between effective parameters in the common fields of employment of architecture graduates with approved courses in the discontinuous bachelor's degree. For this purpose, the researchers use a pairwise analogy of skill - specialized par ameters of architectural employment and hierarchical analysis to measure the frequency of courses and the weighted frequency of the criteria. The description of the approved courses as the most effective upstream plan in the architecture e ducation system has a rigid and inflexible body that, while not responding to creating effective areas to reinforce the students’ ability to enter numerous fields of employment due to their central vision, has caused a waste of student time while studying and learning top ics that they do not use in a professional environment as provided. On the other hand, the top graduates of this educational system are very similar in terms of similar learning; they have a lot of competition in limited fields.

Murals have always been considered by the Islamic studies field. Howev er, the maroufla ges in Iran have been less considered in terms of the execution and their nature. Some researchers have considered them murals, and some have taken them as canvas paintings. They are a combination of paintings that are executed on the canva s and are instal led on a wall. The themes of the icons used in the Islamic era’s tombs ornaments have found a divine nature based on the Muslim artists' beliefs and ideas. The prohibition of painting in Islam made Muslim artists turn to allegorical languag e to express con cepts. The tomb of Sheikh, which was built in 753 A.H. and expanded during the Safavid era, contains different artistic disciplines. This tomb has the highest volume and diversity of marouflages in Iran, and that is why it has been selected for the current study. Due to the religious nature of the space, all marouflages contain ornamental and written motifs. Thus, these motifs have been considered for their great visual aesthetic potential. Like other components of the Islamic era art, the s election and hig h usage of the geometric shapes in this complex have certain doctrinal foundations. The current study aimed to investigate the distinguished ornamental motifs in the marouflages of Sheikh Safi with the Panovsky iconology approach. Using Pan ovsky’s method a nd their tiniest visual details, a network of latent interconnected meanings was found, which indicates the painter’s intention of using these motifs and themes as well as the meanings behind them.

The press is one of the most important means of communic ation due to the rapid reflection of society's news and developments. Following the modernization policies in the Pahlavi era, intellectuals have made fundamental changes in the needs of the Iranian community, especially in the cultural sphere. The publica tion of art magazines from 1941 to 1978 had an essential role in the cultural revival of society. The authors of these magazines and publications made a significant impact on public opinion through their content and writings. Therefore, the range of such m agazines is an essential source of information and various approaches of this period. One of these publications was "Sukhan" Monthly Magazine, established by Parviz Natel Khanlari in June 1943. In the present study, the main issue is focused on how and wha t influence Sukhan Magazine has on artistic developments, especially on the modernization and expansion of Iranian painting. In terms of purpose, this research is in the category of basic research, and in terms of method, it is based on the descriptive - ana lytical method. According to the primary purpose of the journal, which is research on visual arts and the introduction of typical painting in Europe and the United States, the results show that the Sukhan Monthly Magazine had been influential in the proces s of holding exhibitions of paintings and the introduction of modern Iranian painting from the beginning and had a growing trend in that area.

The present study investigated the effects and protective role of masks and gloves as part of the design of job uniforms to prevent the occurrence and spread of Covid - 19 virus using the antibacterial properties of raw cotton samples made of nanomaterials. Since there was no research on the specific fashion of job clothing design and mode for masks and gloves, this research is innovative in this domain. In conducting this researc h, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data collection. The experiments and the method of their analysis were quantitative and special designs were completed for the mask and gloves, which were presented in a qualitative method. In this thesis, the antimicrobial productivity of cotton samples in reducing a common species of Gram - positive Staphylococcus aureus, the source of eye, skin, bone, and joint infections, was investigated. The results of antibacterial activity of raw cotton sample s supplemented with nanomaterials indicated that the raw fabrics have no microbial properties and in the treated samples the percentage of bacterial reduction for gram - positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus was calculated to be 97.1%. Finally, the researc h findings showed that the design and production of protective fabric face masks and gloves suitable for jobs with this method can bring about a drastic change in the clothing industry.

Each event creates a chain of not so new narratives. Criticism of an event in historical and social aspects can include an idea, albeit with different dimensions. Addressing the role of women is one of the topics that has a long history in various societies, especially modern ones. A question that has been tried to be answered in various human, temporal and spatial aspects. How was the woman and her role marginalized in history? In the continuation of this question, the path of prohibition should be sought from history. How its face and representation and even the voice of a woman have been absent and marginalized in the history of some special societies in the Middle East. In this work, we tried to present women in the history of their life and human life with two phenomena of sound and typography and to re-read the legitimacy of sound due to the aging of the same forbidden voice in youth.
