Abstract

The ISFAHAN SQUARE and royal complex in the Safavid era constitutes one of the glorious symboliccomplexes of the history of Iranian architecture and many researchers have sought to reveal andinterpret this great plan. Some believe that this complex is constructed by a predetermined plan. Inorder to obtain a comprehensive and realistic attitude about the SQUAREs’ manner of developmentand planning during the selection of ISFAHAN as the capital, three issues must be assessed in acomparative and simultaneous survey: 1) the authentic texts written simultaneously with theconstruction of the complex, 2) comparison of these texts with the archeological explorations and3) comparison of these texts with the socio-political changes. The precise comprehension of theoperations together with the intervention and renovation policies while facing the old texture of thecity, requires the comparative assessment of these three issues. For this purpose, this qualitativehistoricalstudy is run through the analytical-descriptive-comparative method.It is revealed that the plan and idea of constructing this complex has been implemented graduallyand influenced by the social and political context at each stage.The construction operations of the SQUARE are run at three separate stages before selectingISFAHAN as the capital, where the construction operations are run with the purpose of ‘recreationalfunction’, after deciding to transfer the capital to ISFAHAN, where the renovations and repairingoperations in the old SQUARE fail, due to social and political reasons, and the Shah decides todevelop the SQUARE with a commercial orientation; at this stage, the SQUARE and the statehouseare connected to the outmost southern region via Hezar Jerib garden with its four sections andglorifying the SQUARE plan through the realization of great urban projects like the Shah mosque,completion of Gheysarieh façade, completion of Alighapou palace and construction of new cityneighborhoods by paying interest-free loans. The manner of planning and accomplishing thisgreat plan . revealed through assessing authentic historical documents and the results obtained inthis study lead to the interpretation of the theory of gradual evolution from a local center into agovernment capital of Safavid ISFAHAN.
