Abstract :

Cultural heritages, among which architecture and urban planning are the upmost manifestation, are not rendered tothe next generation without making effort. It is a vital prerequisite to benefit from historical remaining essences. Thefirst step in doing so is historical understanding which itself needs not only insight and perception of history of theheritages, but also their content and existential role during the history up to today. In other words we should have aperception accompanied by qualitative understanding of it throughout history which encompasses present time andfuture. Human, who is a part of boundless universe, is necessarily in need of other parts of such whole being andhas a permanent relation with them. If we consider nature, the universe without human, we can conclude that thesetwo are homogeneous and they mutually affect each other. In epistemology, human is in search of criteria for realunderstanding of the surrounding nature. Therefore epistemologists try to study human mind potentials. Cognitionin human history has been appeared as scientific and artistic cognition, through another medium. This cognitionis philosophic cognition and also cognition on information and communication. Everyone in this world is feelingtheir surrounding through the senses, and by their understanding of the world they pass the first step in cognition.Thus they have a little understanding of the universe. Through passing the second step, human can conceptualize hisperception, develop and deepen this understanding and make it more real. Generally through human’s relation to hissurrounding world and on the basis of psychology of perception, there are various ways to understand and reviewarchitectural relics. Working on and understanding architecture aid us to have better perception of human’s differentdimensions; spiritual, material and mental. Studies show that in order to have perception of architecture, firstly weshould have broad understanding of the definition of human mind framework in the process of creating the space. Itcan in itself broaden discussion in this field. In the analysis of a work of architecture together three different spacein front is detected: The cultural space developer, personal looks at the cultural space and personal cultural spacethat expressed the achievements made by the manufacturer and consumers, according to the analysis and based onthe knowledge and views of the building, understands anything of the work nature show also differ by individualquarters. This is where we can make an impact and studying the architecture of the two categories realized from eachother. Basically, there is a reciprocal relationship between critics and cognitive architecture. By concentrating on theissues in epistemology, a clear-cut method can be gained in our understanding in the fields of art and architecture.The research have been to find a definition for knowledge in the fields of art and architecture. The results of thestudies show that to achieve the recognition of architecture, first we pay attention to a holistic concept of architecturethat could broaden the field of discussion in this regard.
