Abstract

Introduction: Formal-Geometric pattern is considered as a component which gives sense to the formation of shapes in a generality like geometry making it possible to create a purposeful situation regarding the composition of shapes from the aspect of geometric relations. Hence, it should be born in mind that this paradigm shall be definable based on formability of shapes from the perspective of formalism, in such a manner that given the structure of productive systems on the basis of a range of formal principles, it would be feasible to achieve certain relations based on formalism doctrine such as Dorand who defined the initial constituents of mold (frame) so that the intersection of combined criteria of shapes brought about by the aspect Carrier and Herdeg counting the basic elements including point, line, surface and volume to analyze these principles, in such wise the presence of such visual tools in formation the formal structure.
Method: Thus, the aim was to analyze the geometric relations of the complex by benefitting from the interpretive- historical nature of investigation as well as understand the relations among them through inference of the components brought about by investigation variables, Afterwards, the relations of existing variables shall be discovered in terms of the mentioned tables by taking advantage of analyzing the tables resulted from the formal-geometric pattern of the complex and eventually attain to the details of this geometric-formal pattern using a type of analogical reasoning as well as a coding method of motional structure of layers within complex, in such a manner that a scrutinized description to understand this method towards the recognition of formation process of the complex in different eras shall be obtained.
Results: shall lead to produce a motional structure from the perspective of formal principles expressing a method through understanding and formulations certain principle towards its identification including the coding of formal-motional structure of layers in Naghshe- Jahan Complex, justifying the milestone of formation procedure of the complex by identifying the mentioned codes in diverse eras.
Conclusion: through which it might be possible to provide a proper response to an equivalence towards advancement of form and performance of Naghsh-e Jahan Complex by posing the following question: “How it might be possible to obtain the advancement of form and performance in Naghshe Jahan Complex through the investigation of geometric pattern and Motional-Formal structure brought about by it? so, it is possible to arrive at a new classification of the layered performance of the layers from the past to the present, which leads to the simultaneous advancement of the form and function in Isfahan Naghsh-e Jahan Complex.
