Abstract
Aims: The aesthetic function of the building form is one of the concerns of the monument designer, which is generally overshadowed by various issues such as economic, political, cultural conditions, etc. The aim of this study is to discuss how materials and construction technology affect beauty as one of the key issues in this field. Another goal is to investigate the impact of materials and construction technology on the aesthetic function of the form of monuments.

Material and Method: To process complexity, we first used the results of research that, by logical reasoning, generalized Luman's theoretical framework of social systems, which claims to reduce complexity through distinction and differentiation; Then, the effect of each of the characteristics and the relationships between them are determined by Dematel method.

Findings: The Findings were evaluated based on the method of fuzzy network analysis process, the effect of factors affecting the beauty of the form, and four monuments were evaluated and ranked accordingly. Findings were analyzed in case studies of Khayyam, Bu'ali, Nader and Babatahir tombs, in self-referential elements (visual elements and communication elements), other referential elements (mental elements), and understanding (practical elements).

Conclusion:The conclusion shows that type of material is the most impressionable criterion and shape is the most influential criterion in choosing a beautiful form. In a situation that new materials create a new shape or traditional materials are used in a new way, it will have a positive effect on the aesthetic evaluation of the form.
