Among the various factors giving rise to it, the modern Iranian historiography has an outstanding role. In this article we seek to clarify this role by analyzing the way the first generation of the modern Iranian historians regarded architecture. To this end, we have investigated a selection of modern histories, written during the second half the Qajar era, using the interpretative methods. We have traced the changes in the perception of architecture in these texts and its implications for the subject, as it gradually undertook different roles in historiographies, moving from a mere material evidence towards a technical, independent field of academic research. <br />In pre-Modern histories, built environment was only addressed to provide a setting for the events the historians intended to describe and writing about architecture was a way to appraise the achievement of kings and rulers. This study pinpoints the first instances where this tradition gave way to a new manner of regarding architecture in Iranian historiography. With the outset of modern historiography “Ancient Persia” emerged as a dominant narrative. The historians also started to gradually base their work on reliable facts and evidence, which included material remnants of ancient times such as coins and decorative objects, and later on, more prominent archaeological findings like buildings. Ancient architecture had become a source for obtaining knowledge of the past, although the scale it was perceived didn’t surpass the inscriptions or ornaments of the structures. As the scope of the general histories expanded to cover a wide range of historical subjects complementary to political chronologies, freestanding chapters were allocated to architecture. The historians consulted the western architectural surveys and even ventured the historical sites to study and measure the buildings. The architectural works in their writings were represented in their entirety and they utilized an almost technical terminology to describe the physical and spatial aspects of the buildings. Illustrations and detailed plans were also used to provide further information. This approach presented architecture to the Persian audience as a subject of historical inquiry and thus, paved the way for a new generation of researchers to view history of architecture as an independent field of study. The first pieces on history of Iranian architecture, independent from general histories, were articles written by art historians or archaeologist, working as delegates for western research centers, and were introduced to Iranians through the activities of newly-founded cultural institutes such as Anjoman-e-Athar-e-Melli. The accumulation of these efforts during the next decades finally lead to the publication of the first surveys of Iranian architecture.The Historiography of Iranian architecture is deemed to appear as a field of inquiry around the beginning of the 20th century.

The cognition<br />of affective factors on the readable mental image can facilitate the process of perception, mindfulness, and<br />consequently familiarity with the environment and result in the emotional satisfaction of environment. Therefore, the aim of this paper is identifying and understanding the affective factors on legible mental<br />image in the perception process. The statistic community for this research have been chosen among the students in architecture and interior architecture master of University of Art. The place to study is the zone of their daily travels (the zone of university entrance, from the south-east side of National Garden's main entrance to the Faculty<br />of Architecture, located in the south of university of Art). In general view this zone seems to be a legible space, but the factors affecting the perception as a readable space are questioned in this study. The research method is qualitative and experimental. First, the main criteria related to environmental readability<br />were identified in according to Kevin Lynch's theory about readability in the field of urban and environmental psychology, then sub-criteria were identified in the other researchers' theories. In the next phase, the drawn<br />cognitive maps of students were analyzed and interpreted by these criteria -physical and qualitative. Findings of the research show that the readability of students' mental maps is most affected by the edge<br />parameter. Also, the criteria rankings show the most impact of students from the rhythm and harmony in the district<br />parameter. The next rank has been the other criteria of district and edge parameters. Also, a comparative study between students in two disciplines reveals differences in the recording of readability of mental maps.Readability is an effective quality in making and recording our mental image of environment that has been regarded in psychology, architecture, urban design and other interdisciplinary sciences.

In recent decades, various researchers have carried out quantitative and qualitative studies in this area, trying to find solutions for creating a sense of attachment to place. Although many efforts have been made and are being made to explain the factors influencing place attachment, the achievements of research in this field have been presented in a scattered and fragmented manner and in this situation, it is not possible for architects and designers to ameliorate the attribute of attachment to space. Among main concerns of this research are: finding aspects, intervening variables and measurement tools for place attachment as well as answering how to create a place to which a person can attach. This research aims to help designers recognize and use factors in creating and enhancing the concept of place attachment. This qualitative research will be undertaken by reviewing the theoretical literature in various sciences, environmental psychology, philosophy, and literature. Discovering void in previous researches, it will establish a new model of place attachment and introduce three motives: Background, Middle-ground and Distant view. The findings show that we face a complicated structure in the process of place attachment, in which the first stimulus or background speaks of the intra-mental connection before the present moment, faces that are processed in the mind and create mental images that human beings use to understand the environment, The second stimulus of this structure is the setting that speaks of the reality or the moment of human presence in the place where it is possible to gather things at that moment. The moment of presence in the place is a mixture of mentality and objectivity and is different from the background stimulus since it is rooted in the presence of the factor of human perception and feeling, and The third stimulus or foreground is the reality that emerges from the gradual emergence of the background and setting, along with the person's wishes and requests at that time, in which a complete perception (uniformity) is formed. A concept that cannot be easily broken down into geometry, activities, and emotions. These three, then, create an atmosphere where all elements have a role which is regarded as the main factor affecting one's judgment about the place.Place attachment is among the most important bonds between person and place.

Digital fabrication labs not, common in standard architectural education curriculums until recently, are nowadays widespread in architectural schools. Although the first two experimental applications of digital fabrication, including ”prototyping“ and ”modeling“, have been developed exclusively in laboratories that existed in the faculties of mechanical engineering, since the late 1990s, a new type of laboratory has been established and dedicated to these activities in most of the world-leading architectural schools. These laboratories were called ”Rapid Prototyping Laboratories“ at first and then renamed to ”Digital Fabrication Laboratories“. Due to the growing popularity of the new generation of laboratories in the faculties of architecture, and the need to familiarize and promote these technological and educational environments, considering the growing and evolving needs of the construction industry, this article introduces ”Comprehensive Laboratory of Applied Sciences“ in the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design at the Tehran University of Art.Benefiting digital fabrication technologies in architectural education is a recent and rapidly evolving phenomenon.
