Self-learning requires motivation that does not boil by itself and that each person acquires according to internal knowledge and external factors. The purpose of this research is to prove the relationship between emotional intelligence and the sense of motivation in learning practical lessons. This category is directly related to success in education, and even how students live in the future. Most people learn subjects through their emotional intelligence, as a result, it can be seen that by examining the relationship between these two subjects, it can be used to strengthen the sense of motivation for learning in the practical courses of architecture. Therefore, the statistical population of art and architecture students of Azad University of Rodhan branch was used to sample the statistical population, which was 400 people and was calculated based on Fidel and Tabachingpish formula, and 70 people were selected by random sampling method. The method of conducting this research is applied and correlational. which is used to collect data from the performance self-assessment questionnaire and from the software. spss was used for data analysis and as a result, it was measured and evaluated based on the indicators in the regression tables. The research results showed that there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and motivation to learn in practical courses. So it can be seen that students who have higher emotional intelligence have more initiative in learning and implementing their ideas. As a result, it can be seen that emotional intelligence is one of the important factors for better learning of practical courses in the field of architecture.

For various reasons such as providing affordable housing, migration from rural areas, the phenomenon of informal settlements has been expanding and causing numerous problems, such as inadequate access to urban services (educational, health, cultural, etc.), creating an unsightly appearance, reproducing poverty, and decreasing the quality of urban spaces. Among these areas, one of the neighborhoods is the Koshtargah neighborhood, which has an inappropriate situation and has grown on the outskirts of Urmia city, requiring special attention from city managers to prevent the reproduction of inequality. The main goal of this research is to evaluate the importance-performance level of sustainable development indicators in the informal settlement of the Koshtargah located in Urmia city. The present research method is descriptive-analytical and has an applied purpose. Data collection in this research was done both library-based and in the field. The statistical population of this research is the residents of the Koshtargah neighborhood, and with the use of Cochran's formula, the sample size of 375 has been estimated and randomly selected. 10 urban specialists confirmed the validity of the questionnaire, and the reliability of the questionnaires, using Cronbach's alpha test, for 20 questionnaires and a value of 0.727, has been approved. Data analysis was done quantitatively using the importance-performance analysis technique and one-sample t-test. The results of this research indicate that the status of sustainable development indicators in the Koshtargah neighborhood is below the average level by 2.1, and with the examination of the IPA technique, the factors of income satisfaction and access to public transportation are the most important indicators for improving the level of sustainable development in the Koshtargah neighborhood. In general, improving access to public transportation and increasing residents' financial income can significantly improve the level of sustainable development in this neighborhood.

Modern construction industrial systems have a long history in different places, especially in Europe, and due to its advantages, it can be used in the construction industry and be effective in controlling energy consumption. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) has been industrially produced as one of the building materials since the beginning of the 20th century.The lightweight porous structure and the speed of making most of the AAC blocks are among the advantages of this type of blocks, which, due to their structure, are a very effective moisture barrier as well as a significant thermal insulation against the conditions of the building's surrounding environment. Gilan province and the city of Rasht have a moderate and humid climate, and humidity control in this climate is one of the design requirements. In addition to this ease of implementation, the low density and generally suitable physical characteristics of AAC blocks can be investigated and compared with other conventional blocks in the construction of residential buildings in Rasht city; Therefore, in this research, which was done in a descriptive-analytical way, it is tried to answer the main question: can AAC blocks be introduced as an alternative to conventional materials in the construction of residential buildings in Rasht? The results show that in the comparison of the tested scenarios between simple clay blocks, simple cement blocks, foamed cement blocks and AAC blocks, by the software, simple cement blocks and insulated cement, if they are in accordance with the existing standards. Produced and used in accordance with the standards of relevant organizations, they can be effective in reducing energy consumption by up to 106% in gas consumption and up to 50% in electricity per year compared to conventional simple clay blocks in construction.

This article examines the very important and effective role of artificial intelligence in the process of forming design ideas in the field of architecture. In this review, the concept of idea, its importance in architectural design, and the applications of artificial intelligence in the evolution of the architectural design process are examined, and then some old and famous buildings designed by prominent architects with the help of artificial intelligence tools are examined. Design ideas refer to a set of principles, concepts and inspirations that help designers to create unique and attractive products, spaces and visual and user experiences. Another important issue is artificial intelligence, which is a branch of computer science that deals with the design and development of systems that are capable of performing human tasks. Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly one of the most dynamic and challenging fields of technology in today's world and will have a wide impact on the daily life and future of mankind. This study was conducted in a qualitative-analytical way and shows that artificial intelligence as a powerful tool is able to help architects to achieve more innovative and better design ideas. In the process of analyzing and proving this, artificial intelligence was asked to redesign landmark buildings according to the thoughts and theories of the world's great architects. The results of this redesign showed that the use of this tool helps architects' ideation, and it was concluded that through big data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and other advanced technologies, artificial intelligence can improve the design process and enable architects. to achieve more creative and high-quality solutions. This article not only deals with technological developments in the field of architecture, but also emphasizes the effective connection between artificial intelligence and architects ideation.

With the advancement of technology, energy consumption, particularly in the building sector, has significantly increased. Nowadays, designing smart facade shades is considered one of the proposed solutions in this field. However, designing optimal rule-based management systems that simultaneously minimize sunlight exposure, overheating, and energy consumption remains a challenging task for designers. To design a smart shade, it is necessary to first develop an appropriate and responsive motion pattern for the chosen performance. Considering that nature has always been a source of inspiration for humans and has sustainably operated over time, plants were selected as the inspiration source for designing the smart shade in this study. Plants, like buildings, are rooted and stationary yet respond to changes in their surrounding environment. Hence, they exhibit behavioral functions similar to building facades. This similarity arises from the fact that building facades, like plant skins, must protect the internal environment from external environmental changes. This highlights the importance of exploring plant-inspired sources to achieve desirable motion and form patterns. Additionally, Shiraz, characterized by a hot and semi-arid climate, was chosen as the case study due to its hot summers and intense sunlight on southern building facades, which necessitates the use of facade shades. The findings indicate that the movement of the smart facade shade in Shiraz’s climate, aligned with the sun’s path, can result in a 30% reduction in absorbed solar radiation on the transparent facade surface, as well as decreased daylight penetration and lighting intensity when the shade panels are fully closed. For shades with semi-open and open panels, the reductions were 50% and 80%, respectively. Furthermore, the lighting intensity in all shade states remained within standard ranges, demonstrating the efficient performance of the smart facade shade in Shiraz's climate. Finally, recommendations were made to enhance the practicality of facade shade design, including modular and expandable designs, adaptability to the surrounding environment, and digital methods for more precise product manufacturing.

The application of geometric patterns in Iranian art and architecture has a long history. The design of geometric motifs, especially after Islam, has been employed to determine the dimensions of the structures and to obtain the desired proportions. The design of the structure is basically based on regular geometric shapes and their combinations, and among these shapes, regular pentagons play a more aesthetic role. The present study distinguishes and deals with the geometric analysis of mosques’ design and optimization in different periods of time which was performed on the structure of pentagon geometry. The mosques of Tabriz, built in different historical periods, were selected to study the adaptation of pentagonal geometry to the structure of mosques. The majesty and aesthetics of the buildings indicates that the architectures have skills on various sciences, including geometry and mathematics. Looking closely to the eight mosques from the Seljuk to the Safavid periods in Tabriz shows that the main problem in this study is adapting the pentagonal geometry to the structure of the mosque, both in plan and elevation.Furthermore, it will be investigated whether the pigeon geometry is used in the same way in all eras or whether the predominance of this structure can be determined in specific eras.The results show that the design and construction of the four Mosques including (Saheb-al-Amr, Kabood, Zahiriyeh, Haj Safar Ali) have been employed the Pentagon geometry effectively in both plan and elevation. The other mosques did not adapt the Pentagon geometry. With reference to the era of the mosques which has the conformity with the Pentagon geometry, it is clear that the Safavid architectures have been applied the Pentagon geometry more effective and prevailing than the other periods.
