Abstract

The word of "Kitsch" is German in origin and previously had been translated into French as "art de pacotille (junk art)" or "art tape-à-l’ oil (garnish art)", but the original term has now become firmly es tablished in all European languages. The German word Kitsch has no equivalent in French. It refers to all genres of objects in bad tas te of artis tically pretentious junk, popularizing commonplace forms through their mass-production, but it also applies to literary, artis tic or musical works which aim for easy effects (such as melodrama) and pomposity, and cultivate sentimentality or mindless conformity. The term “ kitsch” , which is often related to artis tic disciplines, is very hard to identify and describe. Definitions fluctuate from mass-produced everyday items to achievements of pop-art and other self-aware implementations. Kitsch art may often contain palatable, pleasant and romantic themes and visuals that few would find disagreeable, shocking or otherwise objectionable; it generally attempts to appeal to the human condition and its natural s tandards of beauty on a superficial level. It may also be quaint or "quirky" without being controversial. The notion of Kitsch firs t appeared in the nineteenth century and it is an international movement of classical painters, founded in 1998 upon a philosophy proposed by Odd Nerdrum. It became the object of keen attention when mass society— helped by increased leisure time— had at its disposal a “ culture for the masses” that, by its nature, seemed to threaten the very exis tence of authentic culture. Kitsch covers all different means of expression once they abandon rigor in order to cater to a wider public. Kitsch architecture is one of the types of pes ts in the creative movement that recognizing it and the typology of this type of architecture and recognizing it. It's rooted in today's architecture, gives us a better unders tanding of ourselves and our ways and methods. A methodology of this research is qualitative and its method is Grounded theory includes "open coding and axial coding. Grounded theory is a sys tematic methodology in the social sciences involving the cons truction of theories through methodical gathering and analysis of data. It operates inductively, in contras t to the hypothetico-deductive approach. A s tudy using grounded theory is likely, to begin with, a ques tion, or even jus t with the collection of qualitative data. As researchers review the data collected, repeated ideas, concepts or elements become apparent, and are tagged with codes, which have been extracted from the data. The purpose of this research is analyzing the typology of "kitsch" in contemporary Iranian buildings and identify the criteria and characteris tics of this form of architecture in Iran. In this regard, 150 buildings which consultants by the people and real es tate, were considered as architectural projects, were selected and reviewed. All of The facades could be categorized based on three aspects based on idea, shape, and details in relation to the concept of the Kitsch. The results of the research indicate that these attributes can be explained in three types of kitsch: S tyle-based Kitsch, Pattern-based Kitsch, Material and detail-based Kitsch.
