“…Les dispositifs d'éclairage naturel constituent également un langage particulier dans l'architecture islamique. Une lecture générale de plusieurs édifices dans divers pays musulmans situés dans les régions chaudes et sèches a révélé l'existence d'un répertoire de dispositifs spatiaux, de formes et de détails constructifs spécifiques à chaque type d'édifice, en particulier les mosquées (Belakehal et al 2004 ;Belakehal 2014 ;Belakehal et Farhi 2009). L'impact de la lumière naturelle du soleil et de la contrainte climatique de surchauffe, tant sur les usages des lieux que sur le choix des matériaux constructifs, a été signalé par certains chercheurs.…”

Dans l’Islam, la lumière occupe une place importante similaire à celle qui lui est accordée par les religions du Livre antérieures. Une sourate coranique entière est dédiée à la lumière et la valorise en tant que symbole divin : « Allah est la lumière des cieux et de la terre. Sa lumière est semblable à une niche où se trouve une lampe. La lampe est dans (un récipient de) cristal et celui-ci ressemble à un astre de grand éclat » (Coran, 24, 35). La symbolique du divin et de l’unité divine octroyée par l’Islam à la lumière est centrale, en particulier pour le soufisme, comme le soulignent plusieurs auteurs (Akkach 2005 ; Behrens-Abouseif 1999 ; Bonnéric 2012 ; Burckhardt 1985 ; Gonzales 2001 ; Hoag 1962 ; Irwin 1997). Cette symbolique s’étendra également à la connaissance, à la sagesse (Akkach 2005) et à la beauté.

“…three-door room, five-door room and seven-door room (Belakehal, Tabet Aoul & Bennadji, 2004).The three-door room was often the private room or bedroom. The word Khaneh, which is now a common word, used to be the name of a room.…”

Iranian architecture and urbanism have developed in a historical process based on the different needs of people. The evolution of traditional Iranian architecture and urbanism may be characterized by eight factors: introversion, spatial organization, function of different parts, lifestyle, construction method, communication between houses, climatic conditions, and relationship with nature. In the recent decades, however, Iranian architecture and urbanism have faced a blind imitation of foreign cultures. The majority of modern buildings do not reflect the national identity of Iranian people. This paper investigates the architectural and urban transformation in Iran based on the rearrangement of building spaces. In doing so, the paper explores the development process of major interior and exterior elements such as public entrances, private entrances, kitchens, rooms, yards and open spaces. As a conclusion, while traditional Iranian architecture attempts to preserve the national identity and meet the different needs of Iranian people, the modern architecture is a blind imitation of western cultures.

“…It helps light deep spaces by creating open areas in large area buildings. The courtyard area, wall height, wall and floor materials and colours, walls shape, and orientation are the main parameters to be considered when designing the courtyard as a daylight device (Aldawoud & Clark, 2008;Belakehal, Tabet Aoul, & Bennadji, 2004). Freewan (2010a) discussed how wall shapes of the courtyard can improve the daylight performance of courtyards in hot climate regions.…”
