Abstract

There have been various types of mosque in pos_Islam architecture of Iran. The most important initial drawing, the simplicity and popularity of which were highly concerned is nocturnal place in mosques (Shabestan) which is taken from the Mosque of Prophet Muhammad in Medina. Along the simplicity of this plan, there are some disadvantages such as uniform porches and no suitable emphasize on the Keble direction which has been a concern to the architects and each one has made some changes in it by taking into account the local architecture.One of the most important changes in Iran is the delayed arrival of the pre-Islamic DOMED FOUR-ARCHED STRUCTURE to the mosques as the shrine hall; that, through a suitable combination with Iwan (porch), while lowering the number of central pillars, created solutions for Keble and shrine in the mosques of Islamic world. After changes in the general type of the four-porch??? mosques, which had been newly introduced in the religious schools, they began building mosques Even. today this is a symbol of the Iranian architecture of pattern-drawing of mosques in this region. Is the arrival of the domed four-arched and Iwan in the Iranian mosque a solution to confront the Arabic-porch plan? Has more emphasize been placed on the direction of Keble in the Iranian cases as well, or dose lack of attention to the shrine seeks the Iranian solution in the IRANIAN MOSQUES? This paper introduces different point views and tries to answer this basic change in the structure of Iranian mosque as compared to other parts of the Islamic world.In Seldjokides time, the first step was carried out in order to change design of Abbasside mosques. Large dome four arched structure separated Mihrab Hall from other sections. The next step for strengthening design of IRANIAN MOSQUES was carried out by adding an Iwan to this section and courtyard. For the architects in this region, emulation from non-Iranian solutions was considered as a weak point; so they tried to provide spaces, which could emphasize the Iranian character while preserving their Islamic aspects. Although the structure of the Nezam-ulMolk dome within the royal court, in line with the tradition of Islamic architecture, attempted to put greater emphasis on this significant element in large mosques, it was also able to create a new style in terms of dimensions, general shape and type of free-standing structure and has set an example of Mehrab hall for other mosques to emulate. Ever since, this dome has become a successful case which is able to provide creative ideas for mosque architecture, wile emphasizing a unique character for IRANIAN MOSQUES. Iwan, as semi-open space, was able to integrate the courtyard with the domed space and to emphasize the entrance. Next, three other Iwans were added and the four-arched structural pattern, as a symbol of Iranian mosque, was presented. Here, the role of people in preservation of Iranian traditions as an architectural resistance toward domination of non- Iranian dynasties could be understood which has solidified the Iranian symbolic spaces. The use of elements such as DOMED FOUR-ARCHED STRUCTUREs and great Iwans have pointed to different stages of processes which has reshaped the mosque, of Abbassid period.
