Abstract: (1340 Views) |
The appearance of architecture, like a coherent volumetric element, has required the architect's awareness of the geometry of volumes. It seems that one of the reasons for the neglect of volume geometry in the eyes of researchers is the lack of knowledge about the basics of volume geometry and their connection with the treatises of mathematicians. This research aims to know the geometry of volume in Islamic architecture with a historical interpretation strategy in order to answer these questions: what are the signs in buildings and written sources that indicate volume thinking in the Islamic architecture industry of Iran? In what branches has volume geometry been used in Islamic architecture? Searching in written sources shows that the application of science related to volumes was in three branches of area science, conic sections and spherical volumes. Also, during different periods, mathematicians tried to reduce the complexity of the theoretical topics of the sciences related to this field so that their use by people of letters who did not specialize in mathematical sciences would be easier. |
