Abstract: The culture of each society affects its architecture. Today, despite the advanced technology and information, attention to national and religious culture and rituals has faded and many of these cultures that have their roots in history are being forgotten, so there is a lack of collective cultural-ritual spaces based on the correct principles of Islamic architectural wisdom, which is derived from One of the effective factors is to promote social interactions and in that culture and culture of each region to be conveyed and reminded to the audience, it is considered as a problem in today's world of speed and technology. The objectives of the current research are to improve sociability through the logical analysis of Iran's historical buildings in order to read the effective components in the architecture of collective-ritual spaces based on the wisdom of Islamic art and architecture. The research method is in the form of case studies and logical reasoning and content analysis of the fundamental principles and concepts of the subject in case examples of Islamic social arenas from the perspective of Islamic architectural wisdom teachings; in which national and religious ceremonies are held, and a comparative study of the factors of each was done in the form of tables; In the following, by matching the obtained arguments with the communication analysis of the subject's basics with anthropological and epistemological discussions, the obtained results and solutions were presented together. And the results of the research showed that the fundamental principles and concepts in the wisdom of architecture and Islamic art are the result of focusing on rules and precise theorizing, and according to the beliefs, the

Introduction
With the expansion of human societies and the promotion of human social needs for a better life and the limitations of residential spaces to perform some of them, the necessity of being in collective spaces to perform some human activities has become very important (Proshansky, 1978). Providing the human need to establish a relationship with others and to be together requires the existence of certain collective spaces, and public spaces have various capabilities in this field (Ran- jabr, 2010). In the urban spaces that are introduced as public buildings and have certain cultural, commercial, and service uses, the lack of such spaces that provide a measure of people's social needs and desires is seen. Such spaces should, in addition to having the characteristics of a desir- able public space to provide a suitable platform for collective and social activities. Such spaces, if they exist, often lack appropriate and predetermined design for this purpose, and they are not cul- tural spaces that provide a suitable platform for collective and social activities, so that in addition to being able to attend Different people in the building create a collective memory and encourage the preservation of the rituals and traditions of the past in these cultural places. Cultural build- ings should be able to accommodate a wide range of people with different social characteristics, especially age, gender, social, etc. groups in themselves. to be In this regard, the non-realization of many cultural projects proposed by urban design caused experts to investigate the causes of this problem and in general to investigate the feasibility of design interventions in the field of cultural spaces. Considering this issue, the direction of the present research was to identify the effective components of the realization of the cultural complex in the process of implementation and to determine the importance of each one. In order to achieve this goal, firstly, a review of the related theoretical foundation of how to realize collective-ritual arenas in Iran was argued and analyzed based on anthropology and epistemology. Then, in continuation of the method of logical reasoning, to the comparative comparison of fundamental principles and concepts based on the teachings of Islamic architectural wisdom in Islamic case examples in which national and reli- gious rituals are held (Amir Chakhmaq Community Support and Square, Yazd, communal-ritual space Tehran Government Reliance, Naqsh Jahan Social Square of Isfahan) was discussed and its content analysis was presented in the form of tables. In the following, by adapting the topics of an- thropology and epistemology in the Islamic architecture of collective-ritual spaces with a compar- ative comparison of the fundamental principles and concepts of Islamic architectural wisdom in the mentioned examples, the effective components were extracted, then the results and solutions were presented based on that became.
Research Questions
1- What are the effective components in Islamic architecture of collective-ritual spaces based on the teachings of Islamic wisdom?
2- What are the solutions and design principles of collective-ritual spaces to promote sociability through research examples?
Research Method
The method of the present research has been to investigate and analyze the cases and exam- ples of collective-ritual spaces from the perspective of the fundamental principles and concepts of the wisdom of Islamic art, using the method of case study, and then analyzed the content of the mentioned topics with the method of logical reasoning; Logical reasoning is (qualitative method), in this research, with logical reasoning, a comparative comparison of case examples of collective open space in Islamic architecture of Iran was done, and after examining and comparing the effec- tive components extracted from the application of fundamental principles in the examples based on the teachings of The wisdom of Islamic architecture, and its compatibility with the issues of sociability of collective-ritual spaces from the perspective of anthropology and the transcenden- tal wisdom of epistemology, the effective components of the subject were achieved, since Linda Grote believes that the inclusion of "logical reasoning" in the form of a strategic approach for It is research, and basically, logic and logical reasoning are the universal model of correctness testing, and the spirit of logic must be present in the components of all forms of research and not only in one type of it; In this research, an attempt was made to take into account the points extracted from the analyzes obtained in the collection of human knowledge, to produce components in which the promotion of sociability relies on the use of logic and logical reasoning in examining case exam- ples. The issue is with logical and conceptual systems.
Research Background
Based on the investigations, due to the importance of the issue of collective spaces and its deal- ing with cultural issues, researches have been conducted in this field that study these matters from various aspects. In the past, architecture was in the form of the center of the neighborhood and the squares and gathering centers. Nowadays, the revival of these centers seems necessary (Mir Mohammad Rezaei and Taftoti, 2015). The structure of the Islamic city, beyond the organic form, has lasting meanings and principles, in the city of the Islamic era with the influence of the religious utopia, one can observe the effects of allegory, but the visual similarity of the Islamic city is differ- ent from the allegory of cities in other societies (Labibzadeh and Hamzenejad, 2017). Dealing with the issue of recognizing the elements of semantic architecture in the design of the Iranian-Islamic art cultural center, in order to deeply understand Iranian concepts and patterns in an art cultural center, can be effective so that in addition to reviving the meaning in it, it can be achieved (Baluchi and Karimi, 1395). Also, the trend towards machine life and the widespread presence of vehicles and the separation of people from public spaces, as well as ignoring the social and cultural val- ues hidden in public spaces, have caused some public spaces to lose their importance and role by presenting and defining activities. appropriate audiences, it becomes possible to explain the functions of sociability; which is collective spaces and social connections that are formed through it (Waziri and Mamar 2016). The emergence of mystical themes, purity, transparency, self-evolution away from individual egos through the use of natural elements in the space, as well as the creation of abstract and refined arrays in the geometric and mathematical proportions of the presenta- tions and the use of Islamic motifs with facing lines. The height and the combination of volumes with golden proportions and hierarchy while preserving and respecting the human scale adds to
the authority and grandeur of its architectural space (Mansouri & Labibzadeh, 2020). In order to emphasize the importance of cultural centers based on the shared cultural foundations of Iran and Japan, he has discussed the reasons for the mutual desire to expand cultural exchanges be- tween the two countries, and by thinking deeply about the culture of the two countries, he has achieved architectural foundations, which by addressing this issue emphasizes the importance Cultural communities in various geographical areas emphasize the commonalities of Japan and Iran (Nematipour et al., 2015). The concepts of Islamic wisdom consist of three fundamental and basic concepts, which consist of multiplicity to unity, appearance to interiority, and the course of transcendental goals of life (Noghrehkar, 2018). In the wisdom of Islamic art, the tools of knowl- edge and its methods and their epistemological results are not unique. Rather, all the tools and methods, along with each other, can bring man from the level of existence to its superior depth, and from the material dimensions of human existence to his intellectual and spiritual dimensions (Noghrehkar, 2018). In the wisdom of Islamic art, the topic of anthropology is important, because it is the most complete manifestation of God and His absolute caliph in all existence. His relationship with all horizons is like his relationship with his body (Noghrehkar, 2018). Examining what is possi- ble in achieving the identity and sense of Islamic-Iranian place in the contemporary urban design of Iran in the urban body by examining the way of life and culture of its people (Sadeghi, 2012). The effective components in the visual perceptions of the audience in communicating and inter- acting with urban landscapes and citizens are made possible by knowing how the psychological behavioral patterns and mental reactions of the citizens are possible (Naqibi-Rad and Heydarnetaj, 2013). Identifying the architectural patterns of Iran and how to use modern technologies in the construction of new buildings with original patterns of Iranian architecture makes a significant contribution to contemporary Islamic architecture, which has led some Iranian architects to use past architectural patterns along with styles and New technologies are emerging in today's world of architecture (Abbaspour and Zarin, 2016). As it was said, the issues of collective space as well as the improvement and promotion of social interactions based on cultural principles have been ad- dressed from various angles in various researches; But what is considered are the effective com- ponents in promoting social interactions based on the cultural values and Islamic religion of the people of Iran, which are important in holding social activities from the perspective of the wisdom of Islamic architecture, which has not been addressed in any research. and in this research, by comparing the effective components in the Islamic architecture of the communal ritual examples of Iran based on the fundamental principles and concepts in the wisdom of Islamic architecture, the effective components in promoting the social interactions of the collective spaces in the cultur- al-ritual ceremonies of the people have been extracted and To find out how to design architecture based on the teachings of Islamic architectural wisdom, collective-ritual spaces, a comparative comparison of anthropological topics and transcendental wisdom, the topic of epistemology from the wisdom of Islamic architecture and art through a case study in Iran, in order to achieve the goals to be effectively applied, why this issue has not been studied as a strategic issue in any re- search. Due to the nature of the research, the major part of the literature on the subject has been discussed during the research and continued discussion.
The Theoretical Foundation of the Research
Definition of culture, national and religious culture
There are many definitions of culture, including two general (Taylor's definition) and specific (Boas's definition) notions of culture, which Taylor considers "culture to be an expression of the whole human life and acquired" (Faruzandeh and Talabi, 2010). Boas believed in cultural relativism. In his opinion, "every culture has a special style that shows itself through language, beliefs, cus-
toms, as well as art and...", and Durkheim believed in a kind of "cultural region" (Danshpour and Chahrchchian, 2006). The destruction of the concept of culture that existed in the first applications of this concept and was accompanied by a kind of fundamentalism and the "myth of roots" that was assumed for every pure culture, was a necessary stage, and made semantic progress possible. In this way, they were able to reveal the communication aspect of all cultures (Kalantari, 2009). Among the various cultural resources that influence the human mind or its content, i.e. human culture, urban cultural spaces are very important (Altman, 2012). In case of unpleasant or abnor- mal behaviors, the best and easiest way to change such social behaviors of people are urban cul- tural spaces such as theaters, parks, cultural centers (Akbari, 2017).
Ritual and tradition and its relationship with the collective atmosphere of cultural-ritual ceremonies
In one of the important classifications, rituals are divided into two main categories: "ritu- als of ceremony" and "reinforcement rituals", the second type of rituals are usually aimed at nature or the whole society. The purpose of this group of rituals is to strengthen or consoli- date processes that are necessary for the survival of the society or act to reaffirm the society's adherence to certain values and beliefs (Marcus, 1992). Some rituals are based only on myths and legendary ideas, and others can be said to be based on historical events (Mitchell, 1996). Rituals based on myths are a representation of the ideas of the primitive mind, while rituals based on historical events are behaviors that occurred outside of the mind and in the historical social life of society and were witnessed by people (Sabri et al., 2010). Contrary to logical time, mythological time takes on a special and mysterious quality at every moment of time due to the occurrence of a special ritual incident or religious event, which distinguishes that partic- ular moment from other moments (Kamal, 2010). In performing each of these ceremonies, the human body and objects are used with special skill and mastery, such as: breaststroke, palm rotation, chainsaw. During the ceremony, people have "interaction" or mutual influence, and such ceremonies often intensify these interactions, and sometimes the whole ceremony re- volves around the same symbolic element, such as: the cross, the flag, and the palm, because a ritual ceremony is often a special place of communication and It has links, such as Muharram, which are common examples of rituals (Taylor, 1985).
Public open space and social environment
In some examples, the device used to highlight the building in the urban space is the same, and the surrounding environment is leveled to a large extent, and no other building attracts attention other than the one in question (Helenbrand, 2013). The main goal in the architectural design of collective and cultural spaces is to achieve its social and psychological effects in bringing humans and nature closer to each other (Kirimi Azar and Yazdi, 2013). In fact, the urban landscape in today's world is considered to be a living and dynamic entity that is influenced by humans and their way of life, on the other hand, it is subject to its shape and the association of memories (Mansouri, 2010). Sustainable communities are places where people want to live -now and in the future- which meet the diverse needs of current and future residents, are sensitive to the environment, and contribute to creating a high quality of life (Colantonio & Dixon, 2011).
Social interactions and collective memory
Collective spaces are places to meet different human needs, social communication and inter- actions, exchange of ideas and information, and as a result the emergence of social networks, these spaces have different dimensions with criteria for evaluation, which include: sociability, ac- tivity and use, access and communication, mental image, and comfort (Danshpour and Chaharchian, 2008). In order to create an effective connection between the urban environment and the user, the
urban space must respond to a wide network of human needs, and the more comprehensive and complete this response is, the more the citizens' sense of belonging to collective spaces increases, and these spaces become places. are places that have special meaning and value for people (Lata- fati and Ansari, 2018). As we know, the meaning depends on the spatial form and quality, but at the same time, it also depends on the culture, character, position, experience and destination of the observer (Lynch, 2016). Its physical spatial structure is also more specific to things that happen in connection with a place full of memories; Such as preserving and revitalizing historical monu- ments, forming and developing places with collective use by strengthening collective memories and preserving their names (Mir Moqtadai, 2018).
Anthropological discussion in Islamic architecture of collective space
Man has two potential (forced) and actual (optional) fields. which, from the perspective of theorists and architects of transcendental and Islamic wisdom, is potential human creation with two natural and instinctive dimensions (sublime and animal), and the actual emergence in the natural or instinctive field at every moment (Noghrehkar, 2018); And the classification of the human soul is the layers of the human realm from Imam Ali's (AS) point of view into four categories: the plant-name soul, the animal-sensory soul, the holy speaking soul, and the divine soul (Noghrehkar, 2018). Human beings are always accom- panied by their four souls in any environment they are placed in, and it is natural to seek to respond to them depending on the nature and meanings of each of their souls; Considering that the Islamic ar- chitecture of the collective space is planned and proposed as an open space in order to promote social interactions for humans, then the knowledge of humans and their layers of existence is very important in this matter, because this knowledge of the human soul and investigation How to respond to his needs is what can open the way for research in order to better adapt existing problems and solutions. For this purpose, in this research, the response of the human population was investigated in this area:

Comparative Study of Case Examples Based on Fundamental Principles and Concepts in Islamic Architectural Wisdom
It seems that among the Islamic concepts, three fundamental concepts are considered as a founda- tion. that art and architecture use different ways to express those concepts physically, which include concepts: the process of multiplicity to unity, the process from the exterior to the interior, the pro- cess to the transcendental goals of life (Noghrehkar, 2018); For this purpose, in the study of case ex- amples: "Amir Chakhmaq Takiya Social Square of Yazd" which was chosen because of the existence of a collective open space in front of Takiya with the purpose of holding religious-Islamic gatherings, "Tikieh Dolat" due to its focus on circular open space and Focusing on the community and empha- sizing social interactions in the Ashura religious ceremony, "Naqsh Jahan Social Square of Isfahan" was chosen and logically analyzed due to the open space of collective and cultural interactions and the place of holding national and religious rituals in cultural and religious events. Then, a compar- ative study of a case study was conducted based on the fundamental principles and concepts that were presented in the book Master of Silver Work from the perspective of Islamic architectural wis- dom; In the following, firstly, the study table of the case samples is briefly presented, and then the comparative examination table of the samples with basic principles and concepts is given:

Comparative Comparison of Case Examples Based on the School of Ttranscendental Islamic wisdom in the Discussion of Epistemology
From the point of view of Islamic sages, the means of knowledge, its methods and their epistem- ic results are not unique and have a long structure. Rather, all the tools and methods, along with each other, can bring man from the level of existence to its superior depth, and from the material dimensions of human existence to the intellectual and spiritual dimension; In the same way, the beauties are not one-dimensional and unique in existence, but according to the level of existence, from the surface to the depth, there are different types, from material beauty to reasonable beau- ty, and divine beauty, and superior beauty, from the outer to the inner, and from the material. It can include the spiritual and the spiritual (Noghrehkar, 2018). For this purpose, the discussion of epistemology from the perspective of the school of transcendental Islamic wisdom plays a sig- nificant role in the Islamic architecture of spaces, and its epistemological result includes a close relationship with the audience of the collective space because it is the examination of the means of cognition and its methods that help the audience in understanding the subject and social inter- actions. he does. In the following, we will do a comparative analysis of case examples based on the transcendental wisdom school in the epistemology discussion:

Discussion and Analysis of Findings
After examining the topic and adapting the concepts and principles of Islamic art wisdom with case studies of research cases, and rereading its effective criteria and components through adap- tive analysis in the topics of anthropology and epistemology of transcendental wisdom, and or- ganizing the tools of cognition in levels Different in the case study of the subject, the effective components of the research were divided into three groups; First, the relationship of each topic with each other was determined in the table, and finally, it was presented with research examples. And the solutions resulting from the effect of the components of the subject by separating the results of each building were presented in a classified form in the form of strategic models. For this purpose, human existential layers were classified with the process of knowledge tools in tran- scendental wisdom through human beings, and during that, each of the fundamental principles and concepts in Islamic wisdom that was studied in each of the examples, Its classification was organized and how their topics were related to each other was determined. In the following, the solutions resulting from each component in each of the examples of the research were mentioned separately. Below is the related table:

Conclusion
The fundamental principles and concepts in the wisdom of architecture and Islamic art provide the researchers of this field with features that have been achieved over time by focusing on the rules and precise theorizing of architects, because according to the beliefs, the culture of the people is shaped and estimating how to respond to related issues based on basic needs assessments reduces the issue of duality and difference of opinion in the Islamic field. As it was pointed out during the research, the relationship between anthropological topics in the centers and collective open spaces where the na- tional and religious rituals of Iranians were formed was important from the point of view that in the field of case studies and comparative studies It was based on logical reasoning about the importance of the sociability of the audience that this research was formed with the aim of improving it; There- fore, the identification of effective strategies and components in presenting design principles from this point of view was possible by knowing the layers of human being and his needs and the evolution of his personality and internal organization. What happened next in order to create a connection be- tween the assessed topics was the cognitive tools of the school of epistemology from the perspective of transcendental human wisdom, in which the process of identifying the mind of a human being through the senses, rationality and the presence of the heart in different fixed and moving angles in re- lation to the audience and The surrounding environment in each of the examples has been manifested in a hierarchical manner, that each of the fundamental principles and concepts in the wisdom of ar- chitecture and Islamic art can be classified in the shadow of the tools of knowledge, in such a way that the relationship of the subject in terms of criteria and components various can be deduced through comparative content analysis and logical reasoning and resulted in extracting the design principles and solutions of the research subject in order to manifest the ruling principles in the sociability of col- lective spaces through the points that are relied on in each of the examples including the social arena Amir Chakhmaq of Yazd, the community-ritual atmosphere of the government of Tehran, the Naqsh Jahan social arena of Isfahan existed. The organization of movement circulation with an emphasis on index orientation while inviting and promoting social functions, including the creation of index points and practical gathering space with an emphasis on the centrality of monotheistic values reflecting the concept of unity in the Islamic religion, is one of the points of effectiveness that if Through the asso- ciation of the unity of parts and elements while maintaining spatial independence, it can be effective, as well as the emergence of mystical themes, purity, transparency, self-evolution away from individual egos through the use of natural elements in space and also creating Simple and refined arrays in the geometric and mathematical proportions of the presentations and the use of Islamic motifs with up- ward lines and the combination of volumes with golden and hierarchical proportions while preserv- ing and respecting the human scale add to the authority and grandeur of its architectural space. As the harmony of uses is the result of functional flexibility in the whole consisting of components along with the organization of perspectives and paying attention to the tradition of rituals and its external and physical function for the advancement of people in order to maintain the collective space and the sustainability of the sociability of the place, it has become effective. It is derived from the proportional relationship between the concepts of anthropology, the epistemology of transcendental wisdom and the fundamental principles in the architecture of Islamic wisdom. For this purpose, the comparative studies extracted the criteria of the concepts presented in the characteristics in the case study of col- lective-ritual examples, in addition to the semantic dimensions of the components with physical-spa- tial aspects in a comprehensible way for the users, which through the use of its strategies in the form of The specific solutions presented can be fruitful and open the way for improving the sociability of collective-ritual spaces.
