Studying and Assessing the Formation of Geometric Motifs in the Architectural Decorations of the Second Pahlavi Era with the Gestalt Method

The study of geometric patterns in the architectural decorations of the Second Pahlavi era underscores their pivotal role as symbols of Iran's cultural and historical identity, reflecting and reinforcing national pride. This research explores the intricate integration of Iran's cultural heritage with modernist movements, revealing how this synthesis influenced architectural design and identity during this period. Using a descriptive-historical method, it examines texts, documents, photographs, and architectural elements of ۱۲ notable buildings from this era, applying the Gestalt method for detailed analysis. The findings demonstrate that geometric patterns served as decorative elements and powerful symbols of cultural identity. By merging traditional motifs with modernist principles, architects of the Second Pahlavi era achieved a harmonious balance in design, meeting functional needs while fostering a sense of cultural belonging. Influenced by Iran's architectural legacy and modern Western trends, they revitalized traditional forms, blending them with the International Style, notably the principles of the Bauhaus school and ideas from architects like Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. This approach resulted in a unique semi-modernist Iranian style. Integrating modernist architecture with Iran’s cultural heritage produced functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces that strengthened national identity. The architectural achievements of this period highlight the importance of maintaining a connection to historical traditions while adapting to contemporary demands. By leveraging modern technologies and knowledge, architects created innovative designs that resonate with modern sensibilities while showcasing Iran’s rich cultural legacy. This research underscores the enduring significance of blending historical heritage with modernist innovation, offering valuable insights into contemporary architectural practices.
