Abstract :

In contextualism, the evaluation and study of the system formation of the effect in the form of the whole ( surrounding context ) is paid attention. Because the correlation between architecture and surrounding context can be investigated in a given context, in a way which is being stand to the Cubism in terms of conceptually and principle of the form of the context (Gestalt) in terms of methodology. In such a way that connection between effect and its surrounding components are defined through continuous whole and maintaining personal characteristics, in the part to whole system. Contextual methodology can be defined in the form of mixing the effects and the context, as well as the implementation of the effects in productive structure and solution in it, because evaluation and using of it by a word like Gestalt is a factor between changing and constant components that has a special place in creating architectural effect. The components based on Chlipa design can be identified Based on and according to the design of Ferdowsi’s tomb, which was designed from adapting ancient samples and sprit of national nationalism of that time. Therefore, we analyze and describe the value-based documents by using written documents and primary conclusion and consider Chlipa design in the form of comparative argument with a question such as: “how can respond to decoding Chlipa pattern in Islamic Tombs such as Ferdowsi’s tomb through contextual methodology? It is possible to respond to the signs of this component in formation of Ferdowsi’s tomb in terms of contextualism.In contextualism, the evaluation and study of the system formation of the effect in the form of the whole (surrounding context) is paid attention.
