  1. Design of residential complex in Qorveh city with the aim of strengthening the link between structure and architecture (emphasizing structural aesthetic features)
    Shahram Zarei 2021
       Abstract Structure, structure and elements of the building. In other words, the needs of a building (including sustainability) are related to the structure. Vitruvius defines architecture as the three principles of sustainability, performance and beauty. The structure of current residential buildings is used only for sustainability, and the discussion of function and beauty is hidden in them. Since the structure can behave architecturally, and in addition to its main and primary role, which is to withstand forces, it has another level of aesthetic and functional richness to the building. It will increase the attractiveness and enjoyment of the building, improve its efficiency and improve the morale of users and users. Current residential buildings, of which the structure is the main elements, face a problem and potential. The problem with the dissertation is that current residential buildings are often unattractive and economically expensive. Another problem with residential buildings is that the structure is limited to its static role. In fact, other features of the structure, such as beauty and performance, have been neglected. Therefore, this dissertation tries to overcome the problem of beauty and expensiveness of residential buildings by designing a residential complex and using the aesthetic features of the structure. Based on this, the dissertation consists of three parts. The first part tries to identify the characteristics of structures that can be used in architecture and on a residential scale. The next section describes the requirements of residential spaces as well as the aesthetic parameters of the structure, including beams, columns and roofs. Finally, in the final part, solutions on how to take advantage of the identified structural features, to design a residential complex with emphasis on the aesthetic aspects of the structure and its connection with architecture. Aesthetic features such as rhythm, depth, scaling, pattern, scale of the structure, etc. can be achieved by showing the structure on the facade or ceiling. Keywords: architecture, structure, structure, housing, aesthetics
