Abstract:
AbstractProblem statement: Designing and its methods are always the concerns of people who work in academic and professional fields in different areas. Architecture as one of the central disciplines in this field has always been challenging the genesis of its works during different periods and the thinkers’ opinion from a different point of views; the results of studies showed controversial views about the methodology of designing. Meanwhile, some researchers in psychology and anthropology believe in the influence of some indirect factors in the emergence of artistic works that have led to the appearance of new horizons in the analysis of artworks and its referral to some unconscious agents.Research objective: This study investigates some of the unknown factors and dimensions involved in the formation of architectural work that the designer does not sense it directly, which unconsciously influences the formation of his/her design. Research method: In this research, we used the “mythical criticism” method which by an adaptive analytical approach and an induction method, analyses the elements and concepts that have contributed unconsciously to the creation of the work and interprets its mythical motifs. For this purpose, first, the emergence of archetypes in architecture was described, then an architectural archetype was selected and the work of a contemporary designer was compared with the selected archetype.Conclusion: Using the mythical criticism method, it was found that the spatial system of the Yokohama port terminal, which an Iranian architect has been involved in its designing, was consistent with the spatial system of the Iranian garden archetype.

thesis entitled “Explaining Design Methods Based on the Spatial Representation of Archetypes of Iranian Architecture, A Case Study of Iranian-Born Foreign-Educated Architects’ Works “, which is in progress at the Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, under supervision of Dr. Parisa Alimohammadi and advisement of Dr. Kaveh Bazrafkan.
The archetypes and their manifestation in contemporary works in the field of humanities and art are recognized as an important branch in the critique of works and is known as ‘mythical criticism’, ‘archetypal criticism’ or ‘Jungian criticism’ The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the unknown factors and dimensions involved in the formation of an architectural work that the designer does not directly interfere in and unconsciously influenced his/her design.
It seems that some archetypes originating from archetypes derived from the three sources of the collective unconscious appear in the architectural universal myths, symbols, and dreams, expresses its patterns in the works of contemporary architects.
The Persian garden archetype has unconsciously search for a single pattern language in architecture influenced the spatial system of the Yokohama Port attempts to enhance the human interactions with the Terminal.
