Abstract
Tarikhaneh Mosque of Damghan is an example of the mosques with columned halls of the first Islamic centuries in Iran, that because of the archaeological excavations in the beginning and later following by researchers, the investigation field on these mosques has been provided and researchers have been to present their findings. Belonging to 2nd Islamic century is commonly approved. There are several questions concerning how to form this building’s structure and architecture. Furthermore, a variety of criticism exists on this building’s restoration due to these questions. In architecture of this mosque, there are such fantastic elegance and details, whose study could provide logical knowledge of the structural as well as spatial architecture of this mosque and other pioneer mosques in the beginning of Islam. Architecture of the first decades of Islam in Islamic lands had been based on tradition, palaces, houses, schools, ancient inns etc. shows the same design approach followed by former architects, although the mosques in Islam Geography are somehow representing a specific plan. Nevertheless, In Iran, Persian architecture components have been influential in construction based on the plans. In Tarikhaneh mosque of Damghan, comprehensive mosques of Esfahan and Yazd, the central corridor towards of the Qibla were wider than the others’ width. Probably, like comprehensive Mosque of Nain, this corridor has been shaped rectangular and stretched up to the roof. A small porch performs as one ascending axis in Sassanid manner. Priority of curved roof to flat one is observed in the most mosques and represents the major inherit of Sassanid’s. The impact of the Sassanid architecture on its political geography is so dramatic that the mosques and the other buildings of the initial centuries of Islam in Iran and Iraq illustrate it particularly. Tarikhaneh mosque as well as Palace and Mosque of Ukhaidir also confirm this saying. In addition, there are building a mansion and other buildings such as the many commonalities between these buildings and the Abbasid ones including Dar-al-emareh, Samarra mosque, the mosque of Susa, Siraf, pool etc., which all demonstrated the Sassanid architectural characteristics. Impact of the Sassanid architecture on the Abbasid architecture expresses the similarities in the areasof architecture, structure, details, and buildings’ ornaments among this period’s buildings. These similarities are the clue of creation of logic of studies as to better comprehend of the architecture of Tarikhaneh mosque of Damghan.
The decorating and coating of the mosque of Ukhaidir palace are still intact, which it helps the coverage examination and architecture of the early Islamic mosques, because the mosque of Ukhaidir is made of Sassanid style and is almost the closest mosque abroad with the mosques in the advent of Islam in Iran. Adoption study of the spaces and architecture of the palace and mosque of Ukhaidir that has been remained intact over time, Tarikhane mosque of Damghan has caused that all accurate investigation of the structure, architectural and special details of Tarikhaneh, coverage of the central carrier, as well as how to form and decorate would be conducted by this method. Furthermore, we have tried to provide better understanding of Tarikhane mosque and the mosques of advent of Islam through analyzing the spaces, study of architecture details, and providing 3d model of Tarikhaneh mosque and mosque of Ukhaidir palace.
The results indicate that there has not been any dome connected to the central carrier (Avon) in early Islamic mosques. The covering of the central carrier in Tarikhaneh Mosque of Damghan has been designed rocking arch. This arch is longitudinal and at the end point has been closed by a semi-dome due to emphasizing on the altar and pulpit spaces and through angling and decorations. In this section, the detailed ornaments have been used massively. Mosque of Ukhaidir palace has a courtyard surrounded by three porches and without any columned Hall. In Southern portico, there are such massive ornaments due to the altar and at the end of the porch, the arch hangars has resulted in form of semi dome and rocking arch. Based on the field studies, and historical documents, this architecture style has been also used in the central carrier coverage of Tarikhaneh mosque of Damghan. While modeling of Tarikhaneh, it gets clearer that lack of attention in the reconstruction of the central carrier coverage during restoration of the mosque is critical. In cross of the porches and rocked arches, the size of arches of the columned hall, which has been stretched South to north is in a way that does not confront the eastern rocked arches in the porches and there is a space between them filled by shrinkage that is of the conventional methods in the Sassanid architecture and finally the flat roof. This architecture is seen in the mosque and palace of Ukhaidir as well. This examination solves the ambiguity of crossing the regulated arches, and formation of them in architectural space of the mosque. In addition, existence of dome, half dome arch, semi-dome, hangers, or use of four-arcades is denied in this section.
