Nowadays, the need for eternity in contemporary architecture is one of the most important issues that attract architects. Many of the architectural works do not reach timelessness and eternity, even if accepted at a certain period. Although in recent years some conferences and congresses on architecture have tried to find out how to create an eternal work in the field of architecture by examining eternal architectural works, there is still a lack of a suitable model for studying how to achieve eternity and persistence in architectural works. Since in architecture, persistence can be examined in two aspects: physical persistence and perceptual persistence, the present study aims to provide a practical solution to this problem by studying per

Considering the names of the Oriental hand-wovens, Arabic words were highly used in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain).

The word alcatifa must be derived from Qatif port at the coast of the Persian Gulf. Most of these carpets traveled from India to the Iberian Peninsula by
Every phenomenon in the world has multiple levels of meaning, from shape or external appearance, to semantic, moral or spiritual features. Recognizing and understanding these levels depends on peoples’ ideology. In the design discipline, buildings have also levels of meaning, since architectural forms indicate shapes and express meanings in various levels. Accordingly it is an important point for designers to gain an understanding of different ways to express meanings. Allegory is one the different ways to express meanings in disciplines such as literature and art. This article aims to explain the role of allegory and its applications in architecture. Thereupon allegories' characteristics in different fields were reviewed to fill the theo

In the history of art and architecture, there are various ways of classifying works to understanding them better. Occasionally they divide art events into different styles, sometimes into periods, schools, and movements. Each of these methods has its benefits and forms part of our understanding of the truth of architectural history. Style in the most general sense is the distinctive or distinctive patterns or attributes of a work or works that are entirely dependent on the work of art, and stylistics is a method of classifying works into a given context based on their similarities. The emerging fields of artistic work that lead to the formation of different styles are, in the traditionalist views, often the social and cultural context of th
A Survey on the Influence of Museum Experience on Intercultural Competence with Structural Equation Approach (Case Study for Iranian and Afghan students)
Achieving social acceptance and respect for cultural diversity, requires recognition and awareness of attitudes and behavioral discrepancies among the individuals in multicultural societies. the university atmosphere, as an important educational center that attracts persons with different intellectual and cultural background, plays a significant role in presenting such awareness to the students.

Today, about the thirteen so-called Portuguese carpets have been recognized at the museums and arts collections around the world. Their strange name must be due to a marine scene at the corners of the carpets’ field which represents European people and ships, a drowned man, some sea creatures and also a furious sea monster. Although, the main features of these carpets are clearly oriental, whether in view of motifs or about technique of weaving, the title of Portuguese remained for them to this day. Surprisingly, despite the title, from the early 20th century an idea on the carpets about having an oriental origin has been totally accepted. As Persia and India were favorites for experts and researchers to attribute the origin of the Portug
today, due to the lack of the effective use of the relationship between human and place in the creation of space, man-made environments have no meaning and identity. However the first priority of designers is to recognise and understand the environment, the relationship of human and place, and its application to design. Because of its ability to percept the relationship between human, environment, space and place; Phenomenology can help designers. In this paper, descriptive-analytic research method has been used. There are two approaches of ontology and epistemology in the phenomenology of place. Ontological approach has largely a spatial viewpoint and searches the meaning of the place which has been defined as the spirit of place in the ar
Ghalishooyan, as a well-known genre in Iranian processional performances is basically the expression of a specific situation between audience and performer which, as a part of ritual processes, can be seen in many processional performances.

Abstract
By textual critic, one can access to a greater knowledge of the subject matter. Among the types of criticism, Semiotics and through different theoretical views, Barthes’ Semiology points of view have been selected. Barthes continues Saussure Semiotics and promotes his univocal vision. He explicitly indicates three levels of meaning; denotation, connotation and myth. Concerning the development of Post-modern, attempts by designers to utilize metaphors and metonymies in product design, some designers achieved more success and got more attention to their designed products. Among those designers, Philippe Starck has been selected as an index designer. The question in this research is that which semiotic traits of Philippe Starck’s works had
