The Vertical Transmutation Knowledge Through Act of Reading Traditional Architecture
Baradaran Mohajeri, Sh. & Irani Behbehani, H.
Abstract
The architectural education along the way of creativity has often involved with the
formal and physical aspects of design as an effort to read architectural artifacts through its mere
external appearances. This article, however, aims to step beyond the manifestation of conventional
perspectives on visual aspects of built environment. That is, an act of interpreting the architectural
spaces through representing the hidden dimensions that lead us towards a critical knowledge
perceived by the spontaneous conscience pertained to the past. The approach toward history in
this research is not a mere historical description; rather it is aimed to discover a methodology of
design on the basis of contextual reflections. Accordingly, the process of architectural transmutation
has been analyzed through reading the Persian historical city of Kashan in successive urban scales
so that the continuity of design process correlating the virtual times of past, present and future
would be conceived as a methodology distinct from the prevailing innovational preoccupations.
