Abstract: (250 Views)
Geometry in architecture is used as a tool to create diversity in designs, which is a highly significant topic. Wooden “minbars” are one of the special elements of Islamic art in Iran, showcasing creativity, innovations, and the beauty of wood craftsmanship. The Grand Mosque of Isfahan, with several wooden minbars constructed in different periods, holds special value for the study of the decorations of historical minbars. Among these is the Minbar of Oljaito, located in the Oljaito prayer hall of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan. In this research, the authors aim to analyze the structure of the wooden decorations of this minbar. Research question of this article is: 1. What are the characteristics and features of the geometric decorations of the Oljaito Minbar of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan? 2. What innovations do the Oljaito Minbar of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan exhibit based on its technical and artistic features? The objectives of this research include geometric analysis, understanding the geometry of Gereh, and examining the physical and aesthetic characteristics of the Oljaito Minbar and its innovations based on the technical and artistic features of this artwork. This study employed a descriptive-analytical method. The Minbar of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan was analyzed qualitatively using library, documentary, and field data. The findings of this article show that the Minbar of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan is decorated with “Gereh Hasht” and “Tabl”, “Dahe Kond” and “Shol”, ten slow knots, and “Hasht” and “ChaharLengeh”. Ultimately, these geometric decorations are depicted and presented more precisely. The geometric analysis of the Gereh used in the Minbar of the Grand Mosque of Isfahan plays an important role in understanding the geometric decorations of its historical period. This analysis can lead to a better understanding of how wooden structures were constructed and designed in the past and contribute to preserving historical wooden decorations.
