چکیده

The construction of the mosque is a prominent manifestation of art in the spiritual and sacred realm, which should provide the ground for the ascension of man from the lowest to the highest level of existence. The architecture of the mosque if it wants to be in harmony with this ascension, must have houses and a hierarchy corresponding to what rules the universe. Many scholars believe that this feature is derived from the wisdom of Iranian-Islamic architecture, so this article aims to study the spatial arrangement and its features in traditional mosques, seeking to understand the relationship between structural values and form resulting from spatial arrangement with concepts originate from Iranian-Islamic wisdom in traditional mosques of Khorasan Razavi. The method of this research will be combined, which includes descriptive-analytical methods and logical reasoning. First, using observation, field survey and library studies, information and maps of mosques are prepared and in the next step, the maps are analyzed in Space Syntax software (Ucl Depth Map) and the results are presented. Research findings show; The degree of transparency, coherence, geometric order and visibility of spaces along with the depth of each space in traditional mosques, which are the most important indicators of the method of space syntax, are directly related to the components of wisdom in Islamic architecture, including spatial arrangement. It can be said that Iranian-Islamic wisdom has had a direct impact on the placement of each space of traditional mosques and determining the relationship of each space with other spaces.
