Problem statement: The admiration of beauty or “ Tahsin” , is a natural reaction that occurs when facing the beauty. Expressing this reaction also has effects on other people such that it attracts the attention of them to the beauty. So the necessity of a study on beauty admiration in the field of art and paying attention to the true beauty in the noetic and Quranic atmosphere, as an interdisciplinary subject, seems noticeable. In fact, this article is an effort to apply the noetic subjects into the form of a process as a necessity. Purpose: In fact, this article tries to apply the cognitive and belief-based principles in the art field and convert the concepts to practical models using the speech of the holy Quran. Methodology: The results are obtained by applying full deductive reasoning method on the speech of the Holy Quran (limited statistical population). The methodology starts with gathering “ Hamd” root in the holy Quran. It is followed by their classification based on the levels of “ Hosn” which are admired. Finally, by the analysis of the gathered materials, the conclusion is achieved. Conclusion: The results suggest 5 general groups as the 5 models of admiration of beauty levels from the holy Quran and the definition of practical inductive methods for the artist in order to affect the audience and make him/her admire when facing the emanated beauty.

Statement of problem: Qanats, the masterpieces of Iranian engineering, have long played a key role in rural development and urban expansion. In recent decades, these underground structures have received less attention. Such negligence is mirrored by leaving domestic, hospital and industrial wastewater running into qanats. It is exacerbated by the lack of awareness of the inhabitants of the traditional textures and the new parts of the city. The decline in the use of the qanat systems in Iran has also affected urban and especially traditional textures. Therefore, the restoring and updating the technology of qanats as a potential solution in the cities is necessary. In this context, urban spaces as a platform for social events can play a significant role in educating and raising awareness of the citizens. Purpose of the study and Research Methodology: This study employs Eco-revelatory design to identify those parts of the natural and cultural phenomena and processes that are overlooked by a community. This approach and its tools attempt to raise the awareness of society about its environment and its events. To this end, we first identify the principles of this approach by examining and analyzing the specialized texts and then develop them for qanats in accordance with the urban design qualities. In doing so, we attempt to address the three main goals of Eco-revelatory design in urban space. Conclusion: This paper draws upon the principles of Eco-revelatory design, a) to arouse public interest in qanats, b) to encourage the citizens to attend well-designed spaces and, c) to raise their awareness about this significant bio-social phenomenon and its related issues.

The interaction between art and urban space has been historically useful to both phenomena. However, the accelerated developments of the past century have led to formation of some challenges in the interaction between art and urban space in Iran. So that the art used in cities has an inspired and space-attached nature, rather than being popular, meaningful and consistent with space features. Regarding the qualitative development of urban spaces, there are two major attitudes towards the art: ‘ art as a means to beautify spaces’ and ‘ art as a means to enhance the addressees’ mindset on urban space. ’ The second attitude emphasizes on improving the meaning of urban space through art. The main concern of this research is that the interaction between art and urban space in deeper subjective and semantic layers requires the discovery of the mechanism of addressee /actor interaction with urban space and art. This research seeks to provide a conceptual framework for explaining the optimal interaction between art and space. Therefore, having examined the semantic aspect of urban space through experts’ views and also having studied the mechanism of the transfer of meanings via art, a model is proposed to explain how the involvement of art in formation, enhancement, and regeneration of urban space meaning. This research uses qualitative content analysis. In the first step, the initial research model is presented through a comparative analysis of the mechanism of transfer in which the meanings are transferred through art to the urban space. Interaction contents are obtained from the model in the form of ‘ artist and authorities/ body’ , ‘ collective addressee/ community’ , ‘ individual addressee/ person’ . Thereafter, these contents are studied by analyzing the research conducted in the field, and the main norms, and norms concerning urban space and art are deduced. The main norms are crystalized in three main concepts, including: ‘ cultural contextualism’ , ‘ democracy’ and ‘ everyday experience’ that are derived from the norms concerning the use of art in space as well as the adaption of space to art. Eventually, the effects of these norms on the quality of urban space are mentioned by meaningfulness.

Statement of the Problem: How does the spiritual system of religion affect the dominant paradigm of society? What are the factors which shapes the world of contemporary art? In which ways the institutional structures of contemporary art, such as the gallery, have shaped the shapes and forms of the art world? GoalPurpose and Method: The main idea of this research is about the structure of religious world and its impact on the dominant idea of the era and their factors, actions, and the hierarchy of power. To understand this hierarchy and the development of spiritual apparatus, firstly, we consider the world of religious thought and its impact on the formation of hierarchy and the behavior of subjects investigate and in the next step, we consider the agents-institutions and their ratio with the dominant idea in the contemporary art world. Conclusion: In this study, religion and art are considered as two homologous texts. Considering the role of institutions and its’ s agents in the creation of the religious world, it seems that this route can be traced more correctly their, . It could be seen that here the Church and its spiritual apparatus have a great deal of association with the organizations and institutions of the world of art and its hierarchical construction. The church is like a spiritual apparatus, which systematically and organizationally looks for building patterns and practice method. The equivalent of it in the art world could be seen at the museum-gallery and be matched with it. The present research attempts to study the contemporary art world and its branches such as Iranian contemporaw23ry art, through considering the issue of legitimacy and the role of the spiritual experts of the world of art in constructing and shaping all aspects of contemporary art and aesthetics through the exercise of this legitimacy. The methodology of this research is stemmed from the Weber’ s sociology of religion and its special impression in analyzing of the clerical system of religion. We have analyzed and categorized our data based on this theoretical context.

Problem statement: Coherence as a necessary quality in the physical, social, and economic life of cities has been less attended by urban planners in modern times, to the extent that the scattering and deterioration of the urban fabrics, and in particular the existing metropolises, can be attributed to the lack of attention to this quality in the planning and design of modern cities. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of attention to the existence of different approaches to studying the form, the structure and the absence of an integrated approach and criteria and principles that can be used to assess the degree of coherent form and structure. Research aim and question: Therefore, this research seeks to elaborate the principles for evaluating the coherence of the physical form and developing a conceptual model. In this regard, this research aims to answer the question of what are the common principles between different approaches and theories about the physical form, and how do these approaches define the coherent relationship between the elements of the form? Research method: In this regard, this research has used a qualitative content analysis method to draw out the concepts of separated text data (by study approaches that relate to the coherence of form and structure), and Finally, this study achieved a theoretical model or framework by extracting the texts abstract levels which reflects the passive and repetitive patterns in the content. Conclusion: The results show that the three main elements of the form, including street, land use and building, play an important role in creating coherence, and the street is the most important element in the connection and linking of the other two elements. Also, the mix and diversity criteria in the land-use and the size criterion in the building are considered to be important criteria for measuring the coherence of the urban form. On the other hand, linking and integrating as the most important criterion for creating coherence, must be formed on the basis of two fundamental principles of scale and hierarchy, so that the elements of the form in different structural parts (center, main axis, and zone) are connected together in a coherent way.
