Iranian takiyehs, which epitomize the link among time, place, and people, are unique as they are the only open urban spaces with religious function in the Muslim urban-planning culture. Understanding the architectural features applying design principles in such buildings can effectively contribute ti the key continuity of a cultuer in the environment and ti the identity of the Iraniancity.Many studies on Tekaya have sought to introduce Sufi monasteries as the first architecturalmodel in the formation of Tekaya and Hussainiyeh,but other research has rejected this hypothesis and believes that the monasteries lacked social visual quality,especially in collecteve perceptions,and therefore the judicial qualities of Takaya should be sought in other architectural models.Since the Safavid period,most Iranian Islamic architectural models have had a kind of organized open collective judicialsystem that includes the sub-neighborhood scale of the family courtyard-the scale of the urban village –the caravanserai.
Among these models, the four main examples of hosing, mosque,school andcaravanserai present characteristics that,whil being of interest to the commonalities, each has specificities in terms of judicial order that could have been perceived by the builders of Takaya and Hussiniyeh.The aim of the research is to determine by extracting the results and answering the researchquestions what factors influenced the architectural model of Tekyeh Moavem al-Molk in its structure or which of the four main Iranian Islamic architectural models is more suitable for onducting research using the method Qualitative and descriptive-analytical methods have been used.Data collection tools: library studies, field observations and comparison of findings or other studies and hypotheses have been presented.The results of the research show that following the central ciurtyard plan,considering the cold climatic conditions of the region and paying attention to the issue of introversion,as well as the intention of hts socio-religious function,which indicates the role and effect of rituals in creating its qualities and judicial pattern,in the combination or characteristics of the daily architecture of the region and the principle of judicial hierarcgy or the use of unique religious decorations of the judicial organization- kalidi has shaped the Tekyeh of Moaven al-Molk and made it a lanmark architectural building in the Middle Qajar era.
