Abstract

The knowledge of geometry is essential in all stages of constructing buildings. Nowadays the use of accurate instruments which are structurally based on mathematics and geometry is very common in all construction. Operations one of the hitherto unknown facts about the architects in the past is their method for dividing various measures without having contemporary tools. Traditional architects were using geometry for shaping the form of buildings so as to control theiraesthetical and statistical features. The specific triangles called “Hanjar triangles” were applied for calculating square roots, exponents and various DIVISIONs of lines as the basis of ‘practical geometry’. These triangles were founded based on simple geometrical concepts applicable in the construction of all structural and ornamental members of buildings including the implementation of arches, ribs and vaults. Amongst all measurement methods ‘Hanjar triangles’ are the most accurate and simple which will be introduced in detail in this paper for the first time in a written manner. This could also help to reveal a part of forgotten traditional knowledge of construction as an Iranian intangible heritage.
