Throughout history, the Iranian architecture and urban planning have been brimming with values and patterns that emerged and evolved over time under different circumstances. In the contemporary era, however, the transition from tradition to modernity has broken the inherent architectural values and patterns, where many of the implicit qualities have been gradually forgotten. One of such patterns in the Iranian architecture and urban planning involves introversion influenced by climatic-environmental and behavioral-functional factors. Introversion in architecture is a concept concentrating on the inner physics of the architecture, while highlighting the human intrinsic identity, where the architectural space revolves around protecting the individual privacy. Since the physical form of a space directly affects the qualities of human relationships as well as the societal culture, it is highly essential to examine the qualities of such pattern. The physical form of the space involves semantics, aesthetics and design context. So long as the form is consistent with the values and norms of its target society, it can create incentives for the development of social and neighborly relations. Hence, this study mainly attempted to identify and evaluate the implicit qualities within the introversiveive architecture and urban planning from the traditional perspective. In this regard, a comparative case study was conducted on a few samples given the qualitative aspects of human relationships, as well as the diversity of neighborly relations, especially in the context of introversion. Moreover, a historical descriptive-analytical research was carried out. Finally, there were several suggestions and solutions proposed to revive the genuine pattern of architecture and urban planning as well as the restoration of introversive architectural and urban planning in accordance with the Iranian centralist ideology.
Abstract:In past, the urban roadside was the connector joint of the inside manmade landscape and outside natural landscape.Disorganization of spatial hierarchical in physical system of the cities due to be modernized, has caused that the urban roadside landscapes have been unidentified and encountered to disorganization. The urban roadside landscape is the first space that the travelers are visiting. Therefore, this space must be effective information of group minds and their mental imaginations. Later, through expansion of cities to harbor areas, the locations which those squares and boulevards where, are urban roadside landscape now, will be located therein, and will be further converted to an urban difficulty. Therefore, a type of foresight is necessary for decreasing the difficulties of the permanent future structure. In this article, urban landscapes are studied with consideration to the permanency principles. Results of the research are presented as strengthening components of permanent development dimensions in order to design the urban roadside landscapes. This research is in the type of fundamental and the research methodology type is descriptive-analytical.
