Utilizing natural tactics has a huge impact on the design of developingenvironments that are environmentally friendly. The review of relevant scientific research, the intricacy of biological issues, and their application to the architectural field are all challenging and time-consuming tasks that also need knowledge in the biological sector. The use of nature's strategies in architectural design is hampered by a lack of adequate information and the right comprehension, which also results in improper application and the appearance of impediments. Touse the strategies derived from nature in the field of architecture, the right attitude, method, and tools should be identified totranslate the strategies into architectural solutions. This is because the main objective of the current research is to extract the missing link bridging the biological and architectural domains.By discovering, the method of creating a connection and link between the biologicaldomain and architecture through mixed methods Research.The research wascarried out utilizing various quantitative and qualitative methods in three key sections.Step 1: Theoretical analysis to identify and classify the key elements of natural strategiesas well as their effects.Step 2: Using logical reasoning and a case study to determine the attitude, method, and tools of data transmission and to develop an architectural solution.Step3: Focus groups (Participant Observation) to test the defined Process of Creating Architecture Using the Nature Design Strategies Hypothesis.For employing nature design methodologies in the realm of architecture, two problem-solving attitudesthe problem-based attitude and the solution-based attitudewere identified. Based on these two mindsets, a four-phased process was described for using natural strategies in the design process. Tools and measures that were required for each phase were determined and discussed. Two diagrams were provided at the end.

City as a combination of natural and social factors and environments recognized by human in which a resident population has been centralized has a special identity. An identity has distinguished city from other cities and gives meaning to the population residing in it, identity in the appearance of environments built by humans is always taken from the parameters of human and behavioral sciences that this identity is more valuable in neighborhoods with historical oldness and historical context due to more application of semantic and identity signs attributed to culture. The semantic and semiotic indices have been different from each other considering neighborhoods and their types but it seems that indices with high coefficient have been used to design the centers of these neighborhoods. This study aims at extracting variables with high coefficient in all neighborhoods to be used in the flagship development of other neighborhoods. Concurrent nested mixed research method has been used in this study that variables and indices extracted in qualitative part and compared in quantitative part, semi-structured interview used in qualitative part to explore and scrutinize variables and in order to facilitate this, Atlas. ti has been used to reduce data. The results compared in qualitative part using ORIGINPRO, sample size achieved using snowball system with theoretical saturation in qualitative part and Morgan Table used in quantitative part. The results show that all spaces are axial and central (1.000), specifying, explaining and defining each path (0.958) and inner value (0.921) have the highest coefficient of determination and effectiveness in Posht-e Bagh neighborhood and the least effectiveness is related to conceptual richness (0.246) but all spaces are axial and central (1.000), inner value (0.978) and special arrangement and order (0.920) have the highest coefficient of determination in Fahadan neighborhood and the least one is related to motifs taken from nature (0.254).

Among the existing academic texts on plasticart criticism in Iran, and of courseamong the approaches that are practically appliedin writing critique, theoretical criticism has been vastly overlooked. Awarenessof the theoretical criticismattributeswillhelp usto achieve a personal perception of artisticmedia. Such arealization, first ofall,hashermeneutic dimensions;because in it,the work of art, as the occurrence of an experience,does not necessarily reveal all its featureshoweverthe way of itsinterpretationdetermines the character of the collection to which the work belongs. This paper is intendedto provide a definition of theoretical criticism and determine the relation between this domainand a range of plastic criticism definition, that the applied approach is its beginning andacademic approach is theend.Crisis occurrenceof significancein modern art led to the emergingof theories such as formalism, abstraction, institutionaltheory of artandin order to provide a definition of art. Parallel withthese theories, there was a development, revival or birth of the media. The contemporary situation led to a situation that can be considered as the end of artists' art and the beginning of their tendency to create a kind of philosophy through the creation of works of art. Attempting at theoretical critique can be very effective in realizingand receiving this development. The present study aims to redefine the relationship ofthe domainof discussionbetweenphilosophy and art history.A documentary and library method has been used to collect the material;and as the philosophy of critique is central to the subjectmatter, the text has a metacritiquestructure.Theoretical criticism explainsthe media intrinsicvalues by examining a few limited number works. This approach seeks to create a pluralistic history based on discourses. Theoretical critique transforms the relation of critique to the philosophy of art from a one-way relation in which critique is the only consumer of concepts to dialectical cycles.

The present study was conducted to investigate the semiotic archetype of the tree oflife in contemporary Iranian graphic works.The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance and role of the archetype of the tree of life in contemporary Iranian graphics, which has been done with a semiotic approach and the study of myths related to Iranian culture.Library and interview methods were used to collect data.For this purpose, in addition to studying the relevant documents, in-depth interviews were conducted with experts in this field.The method of data collection in this study was interview.Interview findings were analyzed based on theme analysis.Based on this, our findings show that based on the codifications, the concept of the tree of life has been used in 21 categories and 7 main concepts. These concepts include eternity, death and life, connection to the other world, light, the importance of worldly life, the myth of life, and the myth of creation.The results of this study show that the tree of life in the works of contemporary Iranian graphic artists has been related to their religious, spiritual and historical beliefs, and what has made contemporary Iranian graphic works a meaningful symbol is its value and meaning in relation to concepts.It has been fertility, fertility and childbirth. Even the appearance of animal symbols, celestial bodies, and goddesses, along with this archetype, contains the concept of fertility.Although not all manifestations of tree idols in contemporary Iranian graphics are merely related to the concept of the tree of life, but the use of common imagination between artists and of course the distance from diversity, has caused artists in this field the historical, spiritual and cultural contribution of this element asa symbol on the contemporary graphic art of Iran.

This descriptive-experimental article uses the fabric to design a sticker for the environmental graphics of Imam Javad University of Yazd-Iran. In these designs, eachetched forms induced a special concept and vitalizing the objects is important in these cases. On the other hand, the psychology of colors has been used to design them. Theorganizational color of the university was usedin choosing the colorsin order to make more accordance between the stickers andthe university environment. The book is used as the main elementin the designs due totheinseparable choice of science and books. The final work was presented in the form of five designs, each designed with reasoning.

The philosophy of art work in postmodernist view is structuralist, and based on this issue, art cannot be consideredasnarrator because art asnarrator based on structure,isdeadart.According tostructuralist view, GillesDeleuze violates any representation in the visual arts. Therefore, by examining Deleuze's point of view, while identifying its lack of representation and explanation in photomontage, also explainsthe function of concepts in this field. The function of concepts in non-representation is only in the failure of the organizational structure and the creation of non-narrative works.Themain question is what role does theconcepts play in the lack of philosophical representation in photomontage? It has beenassumedthat concepts havea movement-oriented and creative role with the principle of being in photomontage.In conclusion, Deleuze, by violating narrative and being in the art of photography, considers photomontage to be a creative movement in fluidity that takes up time and space.The researchmethod is done through library.
