        lief and faith are key factors in architecture, whether in forming the human beings lives or its role in their spiritual dimension. Thus, architecture is the body that belongs to human's thoughts and beliefs; therefore where ever a major artistic creation with traditional nature has been observed, there should exist a live traditional thinking. So in order to recognize the mystical and philosophical ideas that their peak was represented in Safavid era which is known as the golden age of art, we have to enter through the gate of Islamic arts philosophy. Transcendence and imminence as the subject matters are one of the ways to find out and comprehend the philosophy of art and the beauty of Islam, but the important point about these subjects is the dual structure of transcendence and imminence. Due to the dialectic between these two - transcendence and imminence- (Throughout the history of Islam) and while they have separated features, only it can be possible to figure out their complementary feature through their unitary vision. Of course, such duality that the universe is made up of one whole which is composed of two obvious and inseparable elements, has been seen in different religions, like "Yin and Yang" in China. As mentioned in Islamic sciences and in an initial classification about God and the universe, two words are in common; Transcendence and imminence. The transcendent philosophers do not consider any human traits for God and in contrast there are imminent mystics who define imminence as the attribution of human traits to God. Going out from this conflict is only possible through unitary vision of transcendence and imminence. This vision which is attributed to Muhiddin Ibn Arabic, considers the summation of transcendence and imminence in order to God's cognition. Since mosques (central) are the most effected places by beliefs and thoughts of their time, they are chosen as the typical examples for reloading the transcendent and imminent ideas. For this purpose, first quantitative and qualitative criteria of transcendent and imminent shapes in architecture were extracted. On the other hand this means that in architecture, components of imminent shapes correspond to transition, dynamism, transparence, transfer, static, sublime and establishment; and components of transcendent shapes correspond to void, centripetal, symmetric and balanced spaces. Then in order to recognize the transcendent and imminent aspects, all the skeletal shapes of Imam Mosque, like the system of entrance, yard, porch and dome were measured and evaluated with these criteria. The results of this measurement were the dominant imminent aspects for transitional and motional shapes like entrance and porches, and the dominant transcendent aspects for mosque's yard as the static, void and centripetal space. But the balance of transcendent and imminent ideas can be searched comprehensively in the architecture of dome, where the void atmosphere (negative) and the tangible positive atmosphere (surrounded the environment) have been defined and the static and centripetal and in a same time dynamic, connected and transitional atmosphere (vertical) toward the God can be understood, observed and perceived.

        The concept of housing has historically been a means of meeting various human needs influenced by social, cultural, and economic changes. Consequently, the physical architecture of housing reflects the social and cultural elements that shape residents' lifestyles, rather than their individual preferences or construction standards. This is particularly crucial in suburban areas, where the response of housing to the lifestyles of immigrants carries double significance due to their diverse ethnicities, values, and lifestyles. The unique demands of immigrants necessitate tailored responses in housing. Unfortunately, the growing emphasis on expedited construction by developers, without consideration for the identity of immigrant communities, has led to a decline in housing quality and neglect of their needs. Therefore, addressing the lifestyle of immigrants through housing requires a thorough understanding of their identity, highlighting the need for careful investigation. This study aimed to address two key subject regarding the relationship between physical housing and the lifestyle of immigrants: first, understanding the factors influencing the Components of suburban areas and the lifestyle of immigrants, and second, relation between components. The study utilized an analytical-descriptive approach, beginning with extensive library research to gather and analyze a wide range of relevant literature. The study extracted and categorized the components of physical housing in suburban areas and the lifestyle of immigrants. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with 11 architectural and sociology specialists, and the data were analyzed using MAXQDA software to define the relationship between housing components and lifestyle. The findings indicate that family structure and occupation in the social realm, as well as ethnicity and beliefs in the cultural realm, are key dimensions influencing immigrants' housing preferences. Immigrants' social and cultural identities lead to varying housing demands, influenced by their level of integration into the host society. Social analysts suggest that housing patterns reflect immigrants' social identity, with family structure and occupation being shaped by the host society, impacting housing spatial organization and type on the city outskirts. The immigrant jobs in the city outskirts include both domestic and non-domestic roles. For domestic jobs, immigrants require separate spaces within their homes to work (spatial organization8). Conversely, non-domestic jobs often require space for work tools upon entry, aiming to create a feeling of home. Hence, the presence of a yard and the housing pattern become crucial (type and pattern of housing6). Considering the expansive family life of immigrants, the family structure prioritizes shared living with relative independence and privacy (spatial organization7 and type of housing7). Furthermore, immigrants' cultural identity influences spatial organization. In general, the spatial arrangement of their housing is influenced by the ethnicity and beliefs of the immigrants, which is inherent. Additionally, immigrants tend to select housing close to others of the same ethnicity. However, if this group disregards their concealed identity and only considers the customary identity, they may choose housing in any part of the city under societal influence. Hence, it can be inferred that within the perspectives of social and cultural theorists, a shared element known as "compliance" plays a significant role in shaping housing. Manuscript profile

        The city appearance, represents human civilization and culture. The architecture that represents it, should have values that lead the society to identity. Values that have faded in most of the contemporary cities and they are nothing but huge buildings, parks and offices. In other words, does not take place the space perception, and as time passes, this crisis increases. Today's technology-oriented world, has changed the cities appearance and their bodies have taken on a different appearance. The body of cities, as the first architecture element that is in visual communication with the people, nowadays does not interact with the audience and plays a lesser role. This research with a qualitative method and a descriptive-analytical approach, with a library study, will be achieve the concept of identity and identitarian architecture and then with field observations of historical architecture, referring to ancient documents and texts, physical identity elements are introduced. The results show that the identity and architectural identity of this soil is related to the rich history and culture and it’s important to knowing the physical elements of Iran historical architectural styles. In the following, two important styles of Iranian architecture will be introduced and their physical characteristics will be extracted and introduced. Manuscript profile
