Designers rely much heavily on experience. Previously, it was assumed that particular developmental experiences are correlated with creativity which develops over time through experience. The aim of this study is to explore whether design expertise definitely improves the creativity of design ideas in architectural design. To test the hypothesis, several architectural designers at different levels of expertise, from novice students to expert architects, participated in a design task. The novelty and quality of the design ideas were evaluated as the signs of creativity. The results indicated that there are significant relations between design expertise with the quality, but not with the novelty of the design ideas. The expert designers preferred to find ideas that have practical solutions to the design problem, but novices looked for original ideas. In conclusion, design experience influences creative ideation but has different effects on various aspects of design creativity.

Changing and repurposing existing buildings for their continued use was quite common in the past and structurally safe buildings were adapted to meet new functions and needs. In modern conservation theory, Adaptive Reuse is an important means of preserving cultural heritage. The main question is what are the priorities and shortcomings of adaptive reuse theoretical references within interior architecture based on comparative study with Nara Document parameters. The research method of this study is qualitative, with logical argument as a strategy. The priorities were studied and then the most important weaknesses and drawbacks of these approaches to Adaptive Reuse were analyzed in a comparative study with the Nara Grid by 32 semi-structured interviews with experts in the fields of Architecture, Interior architecture and conservation. The results show four main Adaptive Reuse priorities extracted from the reviewed literature: Host Space Function, Programmatic Approach to New Use, Technical Requirements and Design-oriented strategies and solutions. These theoretical priorities do not negate each other; in fact, they are rather complementary. However, if one of them gains more importance in the process it can lead to many losses. of their most important disadvantages, the following are worth mentioning: A physical outlook and a lack of attention to intangible and soft values, a lack of attention to the meaning and characteristics of functions of the building in the past, ignoring the human presence and its needs, ignoring architectural details and interior architecture, lack of interdisciplinary research, and lack of adequate strategies in line with building values. It seems like the issues mentioned above could be avoided and redeemed through an emphasis in conservation policy on fixed feature spaces, semi-fixed feature spaces, and informal spaces in interior spaces, as well as considering human needs and social sciences in the redesign process, and following each priority and approach in the redesign process accordingly.

Integrating different parts of the curriculum is one of the important challenges in architecture education. Curriculum development has an important role in linking theoretical subjects into practical design studios. This study focuses on an analytical comparison of two architecture curricula in different contexts of Australia and Iran. The purpose is to find the limitations and benefits of each curriculum through educational systems, teaching time for theoretical and practical subjects, and the map of courses and subjects. This paper contributes to the literature of architecture education through analysis of integrating different subjects. This study implements a document analysis method and a comparative case study method. The comparison indicates that although the architecture curriculum in Iran benefits from an extensive education with more subjects, wider content, and triple teaching time, it provides less opportunity for integrating theoretical and practical subjects. Furthermore, course structures at Australian universities benefit from greater flexibility and choice for students to individualise their course through elective subjects. Architecture education is a problem-based and project-based learning, so the results of this research have a wide application in research on higher education. Also, the findings of this study can assist design schools to improve their curricula through linking theory to practice.

Human always tries to achieve a sense of vitality, and wants a lively environment; therefore, recognizing factors in the architecture that increases the quality of life is important. Based on the importance of this issue, this article aims to answer this question “What are the upgrading indicators of the concept of living in traditional homes (here are the traditional Yazd houses)? And identify the life indicators and evaluating them in architecture. In this way, by relying on a method of grounded theory, the researcher conducted semi-structured and in-depth interviews with 18 present perceivers in eight sorts of traditional houses in Yazd. These interviews were completed using sketches, photographs, and personal observations. Participants were selected from among the people who could answer more accurate questions. To increase validity, the findings were evaluated with other related studies. Findings show that nine main factors in traditional houses increase life quality. These factors include: the sociability space, the living and dynamic organization or hidden order Without extra unity, the possibility of continuous interaction with nature (sky, water, tree, open space and natural light), the emphasis on diversity, the perception of time, the quality of being dynamic and active, the expansiveness of space along with the increase Transparency of space, and the Mental memories and increase the belonging sense.

Urban morphology, including buildings’ typology and configuration, affects sky view factor and insolation as two of the most prominent parameters in urban microclimate, particularly in extreme environmental conditions. This research aims to generate various rule-based urban block typologies in a parametric environment and then evaluate them based on the parameters mentioned above to find the fittest climate responsive morphology. Grasshopper, Ecotect, and Genetic algorithms are used for evaluation in relatively short computing time. Introducing a high-speed and user-friendly environment for designers to generate forms and evaluate them in several iterations was the main consideration. The proposed tool consists of two parts, namely generative algorithms to create various rule-based morphologies and analytics algorithms to find the fittest climate responsive urban morphology based on insolation and sky view factor. As a case study, the focus is on different urban morphologies in Yazd to find the fittest option. The maximum sky view factor and minimum insolation on building surfaces are ideal in hot and arid climates; however, these two parameters suggest contradicting solutions for urban morphology. Considering the existing urban fabric in Yazd, various block typologies and arrangements are parametrically generated. In each scenario, the evaluation iterations identify the most suitable typologies and arrangements. After comparing the fittest versions of different types, the most proper building typology, collective arrangement, and the best orientation are provided.

Generally, more than 60 percent of land in cities and around 40 percent in small towns are utilized as housing areas. The present research aims to investigate the price of urban housing lands in Iran during the years 2001-2011 in different provinces. The method of research used in this paper is descriptive analytical method. After gathering the data in this regard via the Central Bank of Iran, using Moran Coefficient in GIS software and GeoDa software, the spatial autocorrelation was calculated and the correlation between variables like the price of urban housing land, percentage of urbanism, the average of the area of housing units and the level of development in different Iranian provinces was calculated. The findings of this study reveal this fact that in 2011 only in some provinces is there a significant relationship between the price of urban housing lands and the level of development of provinces. Also, the price of urban housing lands in Iran during 2001-2011 is not correlated with variables of urbanism percentage and the average area of urban housing units in different provinces. Further, we can state that the price of urban housing lands in Iran during the years 2001-2011 has moved from an accidental distribution toward a cluster distribution and during this same period, the average index of changes in the price of urban housing lands all over the country has been equal to 877.32 percent; with such provinces as Ardebil, Hamedan, Razavi Khorasan and Bushehr respectively having the highest index of change in prices and such provinces as Northern Khorasan, Khuzestan, Tehran and Yazd with the lowest index.

In the history of Iranian architecture, mosques have always been the apex of Islamic art and architecture. The architecture of mosques seeks inspiration from the concepts of divine words to provide a space connecting the heavens and the material world and create a single spiritual environment. It is so important to identify the transcendental values of the past and choose the most essential values for considering the criteria adapted to the time and local conditions of today’s society. Seeking an applied purpose, this had used a qualitative and quantitative approach based on descriptive-survey research methodology. To this end, 16 valuable mosques of the traditional Iranian-Islamic architecture were initially investigated and their values and indicators were identified and confirmed by 8 experts to achieve architectural transcendence. The statistical population included architecture students of all technical faculties throughout Iran. 5 universities were selected through random cluster sampling and the sample size was 190 people; hence, 175 questionnaires were approved by eliminating the incomplete questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed in terms of content validity through a survey of experts and scholars and tests (calculation of the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the whole questionnaire and factors). At the end of the study, 50 questionnaires were distributed among faculty members of 4 state universities in Iran as the control sample and the results of both statistical populations were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and the results of hypotheses and strategies were presented both descriptively and inferentially at the end of the research. According to the studies, 4 indicators were prioritized as spiritual aesthetics, environment, facilities and regularity, with each having other sub-indicators in priority order.

Atrium has been used with various shapes and purposes in many different climates and buildings especially public ones. It is mainly used to take advantage of daylight in buildings. Therefore, achieving the optimal atrium dimensions is of great importance. This research employed computer simulation using Ecotect and Radiance for daylighting. The collected database is created using simulations for different atrium proportions in IRAN-Qazvin climate zone, where using atria could improve building performance based on the clear sky condition. The aim of present study is assessing the impact of atrium width and clerestory height on the amount of Average Daylight Factor (ADF) in different floors of horizontal top-lit atria and determining the appropriate geometrical sizes for the ten 5-storey, four-sided atriums to provide sufficient daylight in office spaces. Qazvin climatic conditions were simulated in Ecotect, Design Builder and Radiance. Ten 5-story administrative buildings with atrium ranging from 5%-50% area and one without atrium were modeled. The results showed that optimal samples were buildings with 10% and 15% atrium area in terms of daylight utilization.
