Investigating the Structure of Traditional, Contemporary and Post-Islamic Revolution Mosques via the Method of Space Syntax (Case Study: Jameh Mosque of Isfahan, University of Tehran Mosque, Al-Ghadir Mosque, Shahrak-e Gharb Mosque)

A comparative analysis of mosque spatial structures reveals distinct patterns in traditional, contemporary, and post-Islamic Revolution mosques. The study found that the Masjed-e Jāmé of Isfahan exhibits a high degree of spatial integration and accessibility, contrasting with more segmented designs observed in modern and post-revolutionary mosques. This was achieved through Space Syntax analysis, which quantifies how spaces are interconnected within courtyard layouts. The research highlights the evolution of mosque architecture, emphasizing how historical and political shifts influence spatial organization. These findings underscore the importance of spatial design in religious and social contexts.
