Abstract :

Background and Objective: Traditional Iranian markets, despite many changes in urban life and the passage of time, still retains its special place within cities. Meanwhile, the traditional bazaar of Tehran is one of the examples of the country's markets in terms of antiquity, size, geographical and political location since the Qajar era, which due to its unique architecture, physical structure, has given a desirable quality to the urban space. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the text layers (Sarai Amir and Navab) using the system of physical codes and semantic meanings from Bart's point of view to deeply understand the semantic underlying layers of the work. Material and Methodology: This research has been done qualitatively and from the descriptive-analytical method using the layer semiotics method from the intertextual point of view to study the different layers of the text (architectural effect). In this research, the text layers (function, form and meaning) of Amir and Navab saras have been studied in three main categories: explicit meaning, implicit meaning and ideological meaning. Findings: It also indicates that each layer of text contains multiple layers of meaning that is created by placing the layers together in different time axes and the continuity of the previous layers. With the help of intertextual reading, in addition to recognizing the surface layers of the work, He realized a deep understanding of the hidden layers of meaning.   Discussion and Conclusion:  Recognition of physical codes of the architectural text has been done with emphasis on intertextual relations (analysis with various meanings and surface and lower layers) and physical sign system and semantic code system.
