        1 - Perceptiveness at the Position of Approach, Strategy, Method and Technique in Design Process (A Case Study: Kari Jormakka)

        The design process includes the steps that the designer walks through to reach a solution for the design problem. In addition to finding ideas and concepts in the design process, designers take other steps encompassing choosing the approach, the strategy, the method and the technique. The objective of this study was to examine the position of approach, strategy, method and technique in the design process. As a case study, Kari Jormakka’s classifications were chosen for analysis. The reason why these classifications were selected was that the terms were not employed properly by Jormakka. The nature of this study was qualitative. The comparative research method was used for comparing experts’ ideas regarding the technical terms and logical reasoning method was applied for data analysis. The main research question was: What is the correct position of the terms approach, strategy, method, and technique in design process? The findings highlighted that the steps of design process can be categorized from macro to micro from approach to technique. On this basis, approach could be defined as people’s belief on an issue while strategy was recognized as part of approach. Method was defined as the way of achieving the goal that can be implemented through different techniques. It seems that, in Jormakka’s classifications, the term method was used instead of strategy and approach on multiple occasions, and none of the seven main sets presented by Jormakka fell under the term method; rather, they were more distinct on the basis of strategies and approaches.

        2 - The Cognition of Iranian Traditional Architecture’s Elements in Award-Winning Projects (Case Study: Memar-Award, 2008 to 2017)

        In the course of the last century, Iran, whose traditional architecture was based on its ancient philosophies and values combined with metaphysical concepts, found itself faced with different Western ideologies. Given that the number of valuable projects in the contemporary architecture of Iran has decreased, this study was an attempt to answer the following question: To what extent do the competitions held in Iran take into account the cognition and recreation of Iranian architectural elements, especially in residential buildings? In this study, Iranian architecture features and modern architecture features were classified in the categories of plan, ornament, material, volume and facade, and climatic features. In the next step, the award-winning residential projects over 10 years (from 2008 to 2017) were evaluated to determine their features. The research method was qualitative-quantitative. In the qualitative part, historical-analytical method and descriptive-analytical method were used to review award-winning projects and extract traditional and modern architecture elements. Logical reasoning method was used for data analysis, and SPSS was employed in the quantitative part. The sample of the study included 35 projects which had won "Memar-Award". The results show that in award-winning projects, the volume and façade, ornaments and materials were designed more based on the cognition of modern elements, while the plans were more based on the cognition of Iranian architecture. In general, modern elements were more frequently used in award-winning projects in comparison to traditional elements. Therefore, it can be claimed that "Memar-Award", in the residential sector, lead the contemporary architecture toward modern architecture. Manuscript profile

        3 - Investigating Geometric Proportions in The Design of Mausoleums in Contemporary Iran

        Mausoleum can be considered outstanding examples of culture, art and architecture. Every memorial work in the current context and historical conditions and the cultural, social, religious, economic and political requirements and requirements of the periods in which it was created is a living and active reality for the social groups and people who created it in their time. This research has been carried out with the aim of extracting and evaluating geometric proportional systems in the contemporary mausoleums of Iran. First, with a systematic review of the proportional extraction systems, and then it deals with the compilation of a conceptual framework. The research method is causal-comparative with a quantitative approach and using descriptive and inferential statistics. The sample size is selected according to the statistical population of 384 people. ORIGINPRO software is used for ease of obtaining results. results show that. At this stage, after extracting various geometric proportions, the selected mausoleums are evaluated. The results show that the greatest impact in the design of these buildings is the use of radical ratios with a value of (1.000) and the least related to Ken and Shako for components with a value of (0.167) for designers and (0.152) for users. In the section of general design, using the Platonic rectangle with a value of (0.914) for designers and (0.846) for spatial users has the greatest contribution in the formation of contemporary mausoleum designs.
