Abstract

The concept of IDENTITY is one of the most complex issues in the HUMANities such that its roots can be traced on the philosophy, psychology and sociology. The application of this concept in the field of architecture was expanded after World War II, in the 50's and after the outbreak of the criticism of modern architecture. Despite extensive discussions that have taken place, this concept is still a matter of concern, especially in developing countries. Vernacular architecture in these countries is a symbol of cultural IDENTITY in contrast with the pressures of globalization and Invasion of Western Civilization. The main question of this study is the recognition of the concept and effective principles of IDENTITY in architecture that is done through the analysis of the viewpoints of theorists.The views of theorists with the concept of IDENTITY and architecture can be seen in two total forms. The first one is a process that architecture is considered as a symbol of self or society and in the second form, building’s IDENTITY is known as the features or MEANINGs of built environment. Anyway, the IDENTITY of built environment has deep relation with HUMAN IDENTITY and is considered as a part of an individual's personality.Definition of architecture as IDENTITY, associated with concepts such as personalization, territory or sense of belonging. In contrast, analyzing the IDENTITY in a building is a challenging issue that theorists have used different terms to describe it. They have used from different terms like character of space, sense of place, MEANING of built environment or physical features. A number of theories have considered IDENTITY as a part of MEANING or sense of place, while some others have defined MEANING or sense of place as a part of IDENTITY. Although these terms have different MEANING, but all of them have mentioned some special features of built environment that make MEANING, cause uniqueness and distinguish a place from the other environment.Therefore, in this study the concept of MEANING has used as the IDENTITY of built environment and the distinctions between definitions are explained as the levels of MEANING. Accordingly, four levels of MEANING have defined, including basic MEANING and form, functional MEANING, symbolic and reference MEANING, emotional and sentimental MEANING. Perception of IDENTITY and MEANING occurs by common significance and the level of MEANING is related to the level of connection between the HUMAN and built environment and is defined in the process of INTERACTION between these two elements.The interactive process is defined in a COMMUNICATION model between architect, built environment and user. Base on this model and theorist’s viewpoints, some principles have defined like oneness, continuity, innovation and creativity, coordination between form and function and INTERACTION between past and future that could help the MEANING of the building to be legible. In this study also has explained that the architecture IDENTITY conclude from understanding ourselves and our environment and has suggested that architects must pay attention to context, climatic change, culture differentiation and HUMAN needs, in design process.
