Abstract: (891 Views)
Aims: The concept of "identity" has always been the subject of discussion in the articles and studies of this field as one of the most popular and debated topics of architecture and urban planning. However, the various readings and lack of understanding of this concept have led to some kind of confusion in policies and planning. It tries to answer the question that what are the alternative futures of the identity of architecture and urban planning in Iran.
Methods: This research was conducted as a fundamental research, in the tradition of qualitative research, with the benefit of theme analysis and then layered causal analysis (CIA) based on in-depth semi-structured interviews. For a deeper understanding of the participants' mentality, first by using the theme analysis method, the main and sub-themes were identified, and then by using the causal layer analysis method, by rereading the main and sub-themes, the main propositions in each classification layer and alternative images of the future have been calculated from the concept of identity.
Findings: The findings of the research show that the images of the future of identity in the mind of architects and urban planners consist of four main images: "Identity Sufficiency and Technology Durability", "Creating disaster and inevitable future", "Return to Purity", and "Wisdom and Creation of Obese Identity".
Conclusion: The results of the research show that four groups in the architecture and urban planning community of Iran will build the future of identity based on the four alternative images obtained. Because images, due to their power to direct will, are effective factors in shaping the future.
Keywords: architectural identity and urban planning, futures study, causal layered analysis, alternative futures, future images, contemporary architecture and urbanism
