ABSTRACT
In this research a effect of structure in architecture in the past and present day architecture
of Iran and the world, role of structure in architecture, & architectural design in the view
of Architects and other thinkers is studied, and;
- the evaluation of teaching of Statics in Universities of Iran and in some accredited
universities in foreign countries,
- present difficulties for effective teaching (learning) of this lesson in Iran was considered.
With industrial revolution and science becoming specialized subject, a division ( gap)
between the architecture and the structure is created. With this neither the Architect
gained the knowledge of structure, nor the engineer (structural designer ) benefited with the
knowledge of architecture.
In this several factors are involved., but teaching of static with similar method that are
used for Civil Engineering will be much effective
In other words, the teaching of statics by using empirical formulas and the topics had
only theoretical aspects. This was the effective factor that didn’t give any deep interest of
learning, rather loosening the interest and looked coldly upon the subject. There was no
appropriate methods of teaching structure in Colleges of .Architecture in Iran. .
In this respect , research work for improvement in teaching of statics, in some of
the`Accredited world universities is being carried out. There, they prepare models of the
structure to the scale and test models in statics lab. Use of software and other computerized
program appropriate for the field of architecture. This could be helpful in creating deep interest
in learning static to the students of architecture.
Therefore this research presents three views.
First – all that is considered as designing i.e. architectural designing , structural
designing , Installation( mech & elec) etc. should be responsibility of the Architect.
Second- It should be brought in notice of the Education section of the Architecture coursethat acquaintance of theories and procedures of teaching at applied stage be made
so that students be able to utilized taught instructions. The theories and
procedures should include the appropriate methods and tools, all this with direct
participation of students. Thus, having clear understanding and concept of static .
Third- this research recommends that the utilization of nature( plants and living creatures)
for teaching of basic STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS is effective .
In this research the nature ( animals and living creatures) is used as the basis for the static
course as a method of learning for the students of architecture in Mazandaran University, Iran.
This method is based on Bloom Learning method and includes :
Analyses of nature , Modeling from nature , Modeling without nature & Testing the models .
The statistic result shows the Learning power of the students of architecture is increasing and
this method is acceptable to students, teachers and professional architects.
In This research is used research methods : Causal , Descriptive & Comparative methods and
is used methods of information collection : Literature search , Observation , Interview ,
Questionnaire & Analytic .:
