Abstract

Beyond the importance of architectural structure and spatial design of the religious tangible heritages, decorative arrays had the special place in the Islamic-Iranian architecture. Isfahan, as one of the historical cities in Iran, accommodates different types of religious buildings, from which this study focused on the Architectural heritage of the Safavid and Qajar periods. In this study, the Chaharbagh and Roknolmolk mosque-schools were selected as two significant examples of the Safavid and Qajar heritage, respectively. It should be noted that the main goal of this study, in addition of recognizing the architectural structure was to investigate the decorative arrays and proportional harmonies. The main inquiry was: what were the most important decorative arts used in the Chaharbagh and Roknolmolk mosques-schools? In more detail, the authors tried to explain the points of differences and similarities between the two case studies in term of decorative arrays. This research is comparative in term of approach and descriptive-analytical in term of method. Also, data collection has been done through documentary method and field observations and the information analyzed based on qualitative methods. The findings of this study indicate that the both buildings as the standard four-iwan heritage, while demonstrating the similarities in the structural architecture, encompass the significant differences in terms of buildings’ dimensions and the quality of artistic decorations performed in each of them. Chaharbagh accommodates the impressive amounts of the traditional architectural decorations, among which metal engraving, goldsmithing, filigree, and gilding on plaster have significant differences with the case of of Roknolmolk. But in both of the buildings, there is a remarkable proportionality between the architectural arrays and the architectural structure. Additionally, in terms of motifs and contents, both buildings represent the artistic features of the historical period in which they were constructed. Thus, Chaharbagh heritage demonstrate the multiplicity of geometric, arabesque, and abstract motifs which were mostly colored by the cold chromatic such as ultramarine and turquoise. By contrast the Chaharbagh, the Roknolmolk is an exemplar of Qajar decorative tradition which was decorated principally with the naturalistic, human-like motifs, and various colors among which the warm colors were predominate.
