Architects fundamentally seek solutions to the question of &#8220;building design\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>Evidently, problem-solving demands diverse capabilities. Combining countless components to achieve a single goal presents architects with a challenging path. In this process, a systematic approach to design significantly aids in uncovering complexities, identifying commonalities, decomposing elements, and arriving at a unified whole.\u00a0<\/p><p>Understanding the fundamental principles governing the behavior of building components brings forth a truly holistic perspective. Thus, technical solutions\u2014which can be categorized and classified\u2014assist architects in reaching this goal. It is noteworthy that these solutions are necessary for forming a building, but not sufficient. \u00a0<\/p><p>technical principles are one of countless facets of architecture. Indeed, there is no architectural design without observing technical principles in the field of construction and belong to other visual arts. This implies that from the very inception of their creation, architects must holistically envision construction methods and principles to gradually define the structure component by component. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Therefore, an architectural design must evolve from conception to completion by considering the laws of architectural space-making, forces, materials, and the establishment of harmonious relationships between architecture, structure, and MEP.<\/p><p>Context &amp; Imperatives\u00a0<\/p><p>Iran, situated on the seismically active Alpine-Himalayan belt, has always faced the threat of destructive earthquakes (e.g., Tabas 1979, Rudbar 2003, Bam 1990). Hence, architects\u2019 foundational knowledge of stable structural design principles is vital from the outset of the design process. At advanced stages, such understanding enables more successful collaboration with engineering teams.<\/p><p>Iran\u2019s illustrious architectural heritage is a treasured repository of invaluable art.
