Abstract: (1005 Views)
The identification of factors that contribute to “good architecture» is important to many architects, teachers, and researchers in the field. Despite the efforts made to achieve various aspects of good architecture, in some cases there are still various conflicting views. In many cases, designers collect various data about architectural components, and face decision-making problems when designing. It seems that some of these problems are often caused by the lack of appropriate standards, components, and specific value criteria for evaluation and judgment. Over time, architectural experts have presented different views and theories about good architecture, which seem to identify and examine them and can be considered to know the components of good architecture. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify and validate the main components of good architecture based on the perspective of contemporary thinkers. It is hoped that the results of this research will determine the basis for paying attention to the criteria and components of good architecture in education and specialized professions so that a desirable architectural design can be achieved. To achieve this goal, the grounded theory research method based on the descriptive and analytical method of architectural theorists’ point of view has been used. The statistical population was found using snowball sampling and content analysis among them was targeted, refined, and selected. In this search, 200 identification theories were identified and investigated in the years 1950 to 2020. Among them, 42 theories were selected that emphasized more on the components and description of “good architecture”. By examining several theories and extracting relevant components, common themes emerged that could clearly define the critical elements of good architecture. The results show that the components of materials, design and construction methods, geometry, physical elements, form and function, aesthetics and decorations, nature and weather, environment, and world of feeling are expressed in the description of good architecture. However, these components have broad implications, the degree of importance and the way each theorist looks at them is different.
