Abstract

Traditional arts such as plaster, tiling and brickwork are very important in Iranian architecture especially in mosque architecture. With the arrival of Islam in Iran, we have witnessed a great transformation in the form, content and place of the implementation of these arts in architecture, which is the result of the socio-religious context of the societies. Since the advent of Islam in Iran, we have witnessed extensive physical and non-structural changes in the architecture of mosques. Formation of arrays in different historical periods has affected the various factors, including the socio-political context of societies. The present study describes and studies the arrays of the Jameh Mosque in Varamin in order to understand the thoughts of Shia Religion and the process of changes in its form and content and to examine the effect of social context as one of the factors involved in this transformation. The questions raised in this study are:-What are the motifs attributed to the Shia Religion in the main mosque of Varamin? 2. The social context and historical events of the seventh century. Is it involved in the use of Shi'i arrays in the comprehensive mosque in Varamin? The goal of this article is the study of designs which their Symbolic aspects contain Shiite thinking. The research method is descriptive-analytical and published material is used. According to research finding we conclude on how to change the method of execution (plaster casting and color tiling), the use of natural plant designs in a complex and semantic geometric form, the theme of inscriptions (using Quranic verses, holy names Imams, and Hadiths), and the location of the use of arrays in the interior of the sanctuary to the outer space, and further elaborates and reinforces Shiite thought in calligraphic arrays to emphasize the rule of the time on Shi'a Religion.
