Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The reason tochoose this issue is paying attention to the spatial fluidity of Iwan andcommunicational and functional values of various kinds of Iwan in traditionalhouses of Boushehr. The traditional architecture provides the material andspiritual spaces in a way that has sincerity, intimacy, balance and peace. Iwanhas the conceptual and functional richness and in terms of form it has a greatrole in raising the spatial value and besides of an open space it leads tocreate a valuable structure. To achieve the spatial fluidity on Iwan, we musthave a special look to basic designing elements (shape, scale, pattern andbalance). We should look at the fluidity of spaces as a contiguous whole and aunited collection and avoid the one-dimensional and discrete look at space.Fluidity gives the audience a sense of physical movement and moves their eyesnot their body. The visual motion means when we stand fixed at a point inspace, our eyes have motion and move from one point to another.This raises aquestion that how the fluidity of space affects on Iwan’s forms of traditionalhouses of Bushehr which is one of the important factors influencing the form ofthe building.In this research first of all the concept and meaning of Iwan isdefined and then the spatial fluidity and various kinds of spatial fluidity ofIwan and Iwan fluidity of traditional houses of Bushehr has been discussed. The research method of this study isobjective, descriptive-visual observation, review of documents, analysis ofcases and library studies relied on theoretical concepts. The major findingsand conclusions of this study shows that Iwan as a seasonal place for sittinghas different orientation in the building and because of its climatic reasons,it is a semi-open space with different functions such as: it acts as a linkbetween the open and closed space, a passage and a link space also it hasrelation to the nature and causes cohesion of inside and outside and has spatialfluidity.
