        1 - Introduction to the concept of “up” and “down” in the event of archetype Islamic-Iranian architecture with an emphasis on distinguishing between the semantic fields of people attitudes (Cases study: Toopkhane square, Laleh Park, shahzade garden, naqhsh-e- jahan square)

        In purposive architecture in the field of environmental interventions, there are many details of size, shapes, combinations and certain mysteries that distinguish architectural elements, even in a single society. Reflection in the mysterious urban biological system, originates from the debate of thought and intuition, reason and love, and knowledge and insight. The present article explores the explanation and revelation of an ancient pattern that has linked many of our architectural elements throughout history.An archetype with “Up-Down” concepts that has reflected from the people’s imagery into the in urban architecture space. In the meantime, the question arises that what is the connection between these ideas, behaviors, the value system and the human living space system, especially in cities? To achieve this, the content analysis method is used. First, the relationship between the elements is conceived qualitatively and afterwards, the relation between the phenomena is explained by selecting the study areas and surveying citizens based on the semantic differentiation method. The results indicate that the idea of perfectionism and movement towards peak and perfection (up and down) in Iranian literature and culture has always been present and the association of its meaning in people’s minds, has led to the formation of a specific spatial arrangement and urban living system.

        From the Qajar period of Tabriz, extremely valuable houses have been left. One of them is Behnam and the other is Qadaki who have a common entrance and porch and it seems that there are hidden concepts behind their architectural plan. Addressing the issue of meaning and finding deep layers in the field of architecture is inevitable. Therefore, in order to find these concepts and the relationship between these two buildings in terms of using archetypal concepts, a comparative comparison has been made. One of Jung's most important archetypes is the self (mandala). And it is necessary to investigate more precisely, the main questions of the research are raised as follows: 1. How has the mandala archetype appeared in the architecture of the houses of Qadki and Behnam in Tabriz? 2. What is the manifestation of meaning based on the archetypal concepts of mandala in Behnam and Qadki houses? The aim of this research is to find the basic patterns as a common language for the continuity of the architecture of these houses. In this research, the ancient pattern of mandala can be recovered by semiotic reading through its basic forms, images and representation of its concepts. Considering the historical-analytic nature of the research and the comparative comparison of the studied houses, it has been summarized qualitatively and descriptively. At the same time, according to its theoretical approach, the semiotic approach has been used to extract symbols and meaning. Referring to the method of layered semiotics, it has been used to convert the data into paradigm patterns that indicate the presence of the mandala in the formation of the structure of the studied houses. In the following, the semantic analysis of each of the mandala images in the studied samples has been done. The result of the research shows the traces of mandal images such as numbers and specific geometric patterns. The first architectural foundations of Behnam and Qadaki houses are in the form of simple, regular geometrical shapes, which include circles, regular polygons, and squares, which are developed in a mandal combination and have an archaic nature.
