چکیده

In the course of Islam’s history and, especially, Seljuks Era, Iran has always been one of the primary loci of Islamic Art. On the other hand, ottomans have taken long leaps in the area of architecture through being inspired by Iranian and Byzantine Art. Due to Iran and ottoman adjacency as well as their cultural exchanges and the common governmental aspects, the art and architecture of these two territories have borrowed ideas from one another and share similarities. The goal of the present article is the comparative investigation of the architectural indices and elements of the memorial and mortuary buildings constructed during Seleucid Era in Rome and inspired by the mortuary and mosque buildings of Iran. The study theoretical framework is laid on the foundation of the perspective that the past architectural spaces are influenced by the cultural phenomena and the cultural exchanges have played roles in their formation. The present study’s research methodology is historical-interpretive and it deals with the investigation, exploration and comparison of the volumetric combination of the buildings, types of decorations and tile works’ images and paintings in the mortuary buildings of Seleucid Era’s Rome and the Seleucid Era’s Iranian edifices so as to reveal the effect of culture and cultural exchange in architecture. The present study’s findings underline the issue that the art and architecture of Seleucid Era’s Rome have been influenced by Damascus Art before the presence of the Iranians; however, it was with the arrival of the Iranian artists that parts of the architecture were constructed by Iranian images and decorations. The interaction between Iranians and rulers of Seleucid Era’s Rome and the auspicious conditions provided by them caused the Iranians to promote culture, rites and traditions and distinct signs of science, art and knowledge that were prevalent in the then Iran upon their entry into Rome.

چکیده [English]

The meaning of place and, consequently, the quality of relationship between people and places has become significant due to the current ever rising identity crises and the breakdown of meaning as a result of various phenomena such as globalization. Since the open space has lost its value and since the open space design is not considered in residential complexes, the close relationship between residents and the environment has been degraded and the sense of place attachment is forgotten in design. Therefore, this research seeks to define the effective components of place meaning, place attachment and the quality of residents and open space interaction in residential complexes. In this regard, the main question is how the components of physical environment (objective) and psychological environment (subjective) relate and counterbalance; and also, which component of place attachment has the most effect factor on open space design in residential complexes. To achieve the abovementioned goal, this research is configured in three phases: explaining, scrutinizing and evaluating the findings. This paper is an applied research conducted through analytical-descriptive methodology. The data were collected in two ways: documentary-library and field-survey; and were processed through questionnaires, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, using SPSS software and linear regression. Eventually, the data were evaluated and analyzed regarding the impact rate of each component of the triple indicators of place attachment in the residential complexes in three general categories: meaning, emotional and functional aspects. The data were used in six components of open space, including the pedestrian access, driveway access, playing space, green space, urban furniture and sitting space. The results show that place attachment components have the highest impact on green space and the playing space, pedestrian access, furniture, driveway access and then the sitting space are the most effective factors respectively; it can be mentioned that place attachment indicators interrelate directly.
