Abstract

Every new style of architecture is based on the principles, methods and traditions of the previous styles and always has an effect in the course of time that is worth immortality, which has a logical support and deep theoretical foundations. The use of geometric shapes in the architecture has a long history and importance in such a way that they were used in the construction of most temples and holy places. The importance of numbers and shapes is evident in the aesthetics of historical and religious places. Among these, number four and the square-shaped buildings have been favored by Islamic architects in a symbolic way. The purpose of the present research is to draw the attention of architects in the construction of Basila City, the seat of Shah Tayhour's rule in the Kushnameh system, to the concepts and methods that are based on human experiences and the identity sequence of human achievements with previous generations and preconceived notions. Man was created with the ability to respond to the natural and aesthetic needs of his time. The current research was done with an analytical-adaptive method and an inductive one, and the main elements of Islamic architectural aesthetics in the field of practice and opinion are identified. Also, appearance, strength, stability, symmetry, balance, and how they affect the construction of Basila City in Kushnameh system have been investigated.
