Abstract

This research is a theoretical approach on EXPRESSION in architecture and aims to find out its impact on qualitative research methods and buildings analysis. Structurally, the paper is based on five subtitles including:* Definition of architectural EXPRESSION * Interrelation between EXPRESSION and language of architecture* Potentials of architectural EXPRESSION* Reading and re-reading of established architecture* CONVERGENCE and DIVERGENCE in EXPRESSION: coEXPRESSION and self-EXPRESSION in architecture By defining the quality of EXPRESSION, this research distinctively focuses on both language and EXPRESSION of architecture. The research finds that corporeal matter of architecture as a system could possess a linguistic structure and architectural elements could be defined as expressive tools of architecture in process of design. Establishing architecture is similar to writing a script by structural elements rather than words. Buildings analysis is a reading act and more specifically a re-reading act while every architect experiences each place to be built in her/his mind once before realizing. A harmony of space is characterized for certain activity by design and architect employs the measurable (corporeal matter of architecture) to express the truth of life that is supposed to happen in the place. Believing in the emergence of architecture as a human EXPRESSION, re-reading of buildings can reveal main characteristics of case studies -according to main goal of each research- where expressive considerations can accurately determine both variable and invariable elements of architecture.On the other hand the mediatory role of architectural elements, as expressive tools, has a significant impact on determination of crucial criteria for qualitative analysis and it could distinguish SUSTAINABLE PRINCIPLES of studied architecture from its temporal and local factors as well. In general it is also suggested that difference between old and Modem architecture refers to CONVERGENCE and DIVERGENCE of architectural EXPRESSION.The research findings reveal that a building is a manifestation of the truth of architecture and EXPRESSION is extemalization of ideas by which process of creating architecture makes sense. Hence architectural EXPRESSION is an action by which incorporeal factors such as thoughts, ideals, imaginations, desires or intuitions are transformed into corporeal matters. For this reason architecture could be considered as a representation of truth of being- upon those aspects of life that take place in a building. Consequently, the paper finds that: * Objectivity of truth, which is an immeasurable quality, is realized by architectural EXPRESSION.* In spite of the constancy of truth, architectural EXPRESSION varies in shape and configuration. In other words, architectural EXPRESSION potentially denotes not only the variety of shapes but also the constancy of forms and forming principles.* The more similarity in the essence of architecture exists, the more CONVERGENCE in the architectural EXPRESSIONs is perceived.* However similar principles semantically make similar architecture, the more different local and temporal aspects of architecture are, the more diverse shapes could be observed in buildings.* Architectural EXPRESSION has different layers; while semiotics deals with external layers, semantics deals with internal layers of EXPRESSION in architecture. * Convergent EXPRESSION defines the co-expressive characteristics of architecture while divergent EXPRESSION denotes self-expressive aspects of architecture which are individually applied by architect.
