Abstract

Space is one of the basic concepts of architecture, which is surrounded by the form and is perceived in the perceptual relationship between the perceiver and the perceived form. In architectural works, the articulation of spaces forms the SPATIAL STRUCTURE which consists of the internal relations and interactions of spaces. The SPATIAL STRUCTURE causes a special perceptual quality which has a fundamental role in the experiencing and understanding an architectural work. One of the appearing qualities in the SPATIAL STRUCTURE of the IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE is TRANSPARENCY that has had worthy appearance in the period of the architecture excellence, Safavid era. The goal of this study is to explain and classify TRANSPARENCY in the SPATIAL STRUCTURE of IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE, considering the architecture of the Safavid era. For this purpose, buildings of this period were divided into two types, according to their SPATIAL STRUCTURE: extrovert and introvert. HASHT BEHESHT PAVILION of Isfahan and Imam Mosque were respectively chosen as extrovert and introvert types. The study, based on case study method, has attempted to analyze, explain and categorize various types of TRANSPARENCY in the SPATIAL STRUCTURE of IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE, using data from library documents and field observations. The findings of this research show that spatial TRANSPARENCY is diverse in IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE. This perceptual quality of space can be classified to “moving / perceptual” and “visual / perceptual”. Iranian architects have achieved visual / perceptual TRANSPARENCY through elements such as Fakhromedin, Shanashil, Hornoo, Shebak and Rozan, and have achieved moving / perceptual TRANSPARENCY through elements such as courtyard, porch and dome. Research findings also show that the elements of visual / perceptual TRANSPARENCY, in addition to their performance, contribute to lightness, visual continuity and simultaneous understanding of internal and external spaces; while moving / perceptual TRANSPARENCY contribute to opening, lightness, sequence, integrity and continuity of space, and one always feels space as defined but endless. As a result, IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE, especially in the Safavid era, has both spatial sequence and continuity. The spatial continuity always places a person inside a space which is defined.
