Abstract

Background: Urban elements play a significant role in the formation, transformation and reproduction of urban identity. They also predispose the context to the emergence of signs and symbols. Signs could appear in various forms in the urban space, affecting the visibility and activity of the city as well as the persistence of its image in the audiences' minds. Urban volumes are part of urban art and graphic, which their visual and contextual quality affect urban spaces. The current study seeks to understand the function of Urban elements in creating an urban identity through the nostalgic approach. It also tries to see how communicating process of signs in urban volumes in relation to the audience is. Objectives: The current study considers the analysis of the elements of Rasht City through a nostalgic approach. It also studies the process of formation of Icons, Hypericons and Hypoicons in the selected examples. Methodology: The research method is descriptive-analytical. The method of gathering materials is a combination of library studies and field observations, and the data analysis is qualitative. Results: Results suggest that a sense of nostalgia is created by the use of elements and volumes derived from art and culture in the urban environment as parts of the city identity. Conclusion: The association of nostalgia can be found in some of the Rasht sculptures which have historical and cultural themes. Some sculptures in the city of Rasht, referring to the indigenous nature, traditional jobs and occupations, historical monuments as well as epic and heroic events, create a sense of belonging and place in the audience.
