        One of the most crucial issues encountering researchers in the field of Iranian-Islamic architecture and urban planning with the aim of preserving and perpetuating cultural values in the present era is the issue of overcoming formal and physical descriptions and gaining a deep understanding of the nature and essence of the buildings. Since every building is a form of embodiment of ideas and worldviews of its builders and is additionally a metaphor of their existence in the world, a correct understanding of the building can enable the reproduction of historical identity in the present era. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structure of the tomb of Shah Nematollah Vali based on these assumptions that the ontological implications of the elements can be explained as meaningful signs of the structure of their interrelationship. In the present study, the philosophical foundation of research is interpretivism; the research approach is qualitative, and the analysis method is phenomenological. In analyzing the experience of space and the relationship between the building and the city, the following three assumptions were examined: 1. the hierarchy of spatial relations from the urban space to the dome creates a sense of spirituality in individuals. 2. The presence of four Classic Elements in successive spaces affects users' perception of space as a sacred one. 3. The presence of four Classic Elements as meaningful signs in the space increases the sense of place in pilgrims. To examine the above assumptions by analyzing the lived experience of people in the building, a questionnaire with 20 questions was prepared and distributed among 85 pilgrims and specialists. Data analysis shows that the manner and extent of the presence of four Classic Elements in consecutive scenes of the shrine of Shah Nematollah Vali, has a significant relationship with the perception of mystical meanings and spiritual journeys in the minds of the people and leads them to experience a different perceptual quality in each courtyard. And be more prepared to reach the shrine and pilgrimage at any moment. Manuscript profile

        Islamic architecture is a recurring term in research on Islamic art and civilization. A wide range of works made in the Islamic world has been named with this word and scholars have tried to define and mention its features, in which, there is almost no relationship between Islam as a divine religion and architecture, and only the characteristics of buildings are mentioned. In this research, came to light by descriptive-analytical study method based on gathering of information in the library, after the analyses of the definitions of Islamic architecture, two questions are asked about it: what it is and when did this form of architecture begin and end. Therefore, based on the inference from Quranic verses and religious doctrine, Islamic architecture refers to a type of architecture that, rather than seeking a specific shape and form, should help Muslims to achieve perfection and the ultimate goal of human creation, which is to worship God. This kind of architecture started at the same time with the mission of the Holy Prophet “PBUH” and will continue until the end and will not be limited to a specific region and a specific time.
