Abstract: (789 Views) |
A house is one of the needs of every living being so that it can choose a place to live and live in. For humans, this space should be a place for reflection and interaction between the soul and body. In Iranian culture, the home is a space for forming and maintaining a family that can embody the traditional values of religion. Religious identity is an important principle in Iranian-Islamic architecture, and its recognition can be a path and a model for contemporary architecture. Religious identity is actually the acceptance of religion as a principle of belief and its effects on the religious individual are things that cause individuals to adhere to religious essence and values, and cause the collective and general attachment of individuals in a society to religious institutions and rituals. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying religious identity in Qajar period houses in Mashhad, and for this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method and library and field data collection were used. Based on verses and hadiths related to the architecture of houses and examining the dimensions of religious identity from both conceptual and physical perspectives, the patterns of religious identity in the houses of the Qajar era in Mashhad, and at the same time, their location near the shrine of Imam Reza, can be examined from several aspects, and these patterns are well manifested in the structure of these houses, considering the beliefs of their residents and the emergence of common features. |
