Despite the availability of extensive facilities for children, the effect of environment on creativity of children is often ignored. It is a fact that children can attend the playgrounds in city parks, independently, from age 6, therefore they become exposed to influence of the environment during this age period. It is necessary to design playgrounds for children to improve their creativity. The objective here is to assess the effects of physical components of the playgrounds in city parks on creativity of children of ages 6 to 12. A descriptive- analytic method is adopted in this study. This method is adopted to achieve the theoretical perspectives and correlations between the variables and indices, through analysis. At this stage, the data are collected from a selected statistical population through field research and closed response researcher designed questionnaire and the effective variables are determined by factor analysis and correlation. By applying path analysis method using of Smart PLS1 software program based on the relations between the variables, the study model is provided. The results indicate that there exists a significant correlation between the environmental factors and creativity and regarding the rate of effectiveness of the physical factors on creativity, the variety factor is more effective, followed by physical liveliness and flexibility factors, respectively.

Although it has physical effects, temporary landscape as a new issue provides various potential as a place events that can’t be ignored because of wide range effects on promoting and upgrading the quality of space. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status and mechanism of temporary landscape. As a basic and practical research, it is done by using the correlation method and descriptive-analytic approach using documents and the researcher’s studies. The mechanism of temporary landscape is specified by logical reasoning. The results of the research show that the components of temporary landscapes include fixed, semifixed and nonfixed (moving) components. Temporary landscapes in various range types as events, disasters and second elevations, by their enriched or corrosive functions can create a new experience, as a stimulus. Therefore they leads to conscious and unconscious social actions. So they can affect people's perception of the space. On the other hand temporary landscapes can create the meaning of space and affects the quality of space. Therefore they can cause a space distinction that lead to create a unique space.

Given more than seven thousand years of urbanization and highly diverse topographic and geographical conditions, Iran is one of the treasures through the world's architectural history. Climatic diversity, on the one hand, and long history of living, on the other hand, has led to noteworthy and valuable achievement in architecture and urbanization within this country. However, these elements are less utilized in today architecture. Urban life, technological advances and excessive economical demands have extremely made people apart from the nature and formed their mind within an iterative mechanized order. Furthermore, human being is a part of nature and his/ her close relationship to the nature provides him/her with survival and longevity. In Iranian houses, a space indicating relationship between human and nature is courtyard. Central courtyards within vernacular houses in Yazd provided inhabitants with terrific living conditions and enhanced their living quality by utilizing natural elements such as water, wind, light, and plants. Today, due to providing more houses regardless of their quality, not only are natural elements ignored in human life; but also in many cases, buildings do not have essential features of living. This paper attempts to explore how to create and enter natural elements in apartments. This paper aims to investigate natural elements on vernacular houses in Yazd. A descriptive, analytic methodology along with a case study (vernacular houses in Yazd) were employed and data was collected through library and field research.

Buildings play an important role in the energy demand sector. Due to the increase of environmental concerns and renewable energy sources restriction, lighting control systems will play an important role in the reduction of energy consumption of the lighting without impeding comfort goals. Lighting control systems can control lighting consumption according to the type of building, adequate luminance, occupation time, scheduled time etc. Better lighting not only can reduce the energy consumption of a room, it can improve the quality of work from its occupants. The main aim of the project is to determine the energy saved by using different artificial lighting control systems and find the best one. Honeybee plug-in for grasshopper in a space as a classroom simulated six different systems in this article and electricity, cooling and heating energy consumption for these systems were compared. Results show that “Auto dimming with switch off occupancy sensor” has the best annual operation and it saves eight times more electricity energy than the worst system which is the traditional “Always on during active occupancy sensor”. Considering thermal energy consumption also proves the priority of occupancy and daylight dimming system. Selecting a suitable lighting control system in initial steps of design or after construction is very affordable and increases environment quality.

The question from the mission of architecture and its relationship with human as the artist or the audience, without addressing to the reality issue and the manner of cognition is not possible. As a human phenomenon, architecture is a product of human awareness on various aspects such as scientific, engineering, and artistic aspects. Therefore, clarifying the nature and the manner of awareness, cognition and the methods and tools, can contribute to understand the art work. In continue the manner of advent and perception of wisdom in the Islamic architectural work would be analyzed. The research method is logical reasoning. Therefore, initially the Islamic worldview is posed based on the transcendental philosophy as the last and most important and major Islamic philosophy evolution, this approach is a strong system with logical method and has a strong theoretical transparency in order to understand the definition of components such as ontology, anthropology, epistemology and cosmology. After explaining principles of mental structures according to proposed Islamic worldview, the manner of emergence of the architectural work by creator of the work and how it is perceived by the audience and the work relationship with reality, based on the quad and quintet causes, ultimate and in instance, nominative, substantial, formal which have been considered in the formal position of discussion. The manner of Islamic architecture as nominative cause and the advent of thought and imagination, as the ultimate and in instance cause and actuality of the mass and the space, as substantial causes in the form of the face of place as formal cause is the purpose of this research. The manner of creation and perception of the work and the manner of presence and the advent of reality in architecture are exامینed by determining nature and the manner of emotions, perceptions and cognition. The most important result of this study is to address the main mission of architecture as the creator of the cognition factor.
