Abstract

Abstract Addressing the meanings and concepts, that make a person emotionally interested in the architectural space, has a strong connection with the place. Concepts originated from the foretime create a deeper emotional connection between human and the place. The emergence of some nostalgic feelings in the architectural space can greatly overcome the disorders caused by the lack of psychological connection with the place. So that, it may be a certain quality regarding the perceptual design. Because the user's mood and feelings are refreshed due to the emergence of remembering some qualitative and enjoyable components in the place. Considering these concepts, during the designing process, makes a pleasant familiarity with the place and raise the collective psyche to keep the thread of connection to the ancient time roots in new forms. In another word, it implies experiencing the contemporary new places with a kind of pleasant nostalgia due to remembrance of the happy memories and evoking some reactionary meanings. The most important outcome of this emotional recollection within the place is experiencing an intimate, tangible and influential atmosphere from the socio-cultural context. In fact, it is a status of continuity, familiarity, attachment, and emotional meaning originated from an architectural space, that the foretime concepts are easily observable in it. Accordingly, the meanings must be elevated from the level of visual meanings to the level of reactive meanings. Then, the user should be motivated to react positively (following a connection to the past) in the place. Therefore, the layers of the meanings must be arranged in a way that emotional meanings combine with the environment.
Accordingly, this study focused on library and documentary studies on the association of emotional concepts in related fields such as literature, psychology and environmental psychology, and analyzed the interpretation of the understanding of the mentioned concept. It should be mentioned, according to the main purpose of the research, that is recalling some implicit concepts in place, interviews and semi-structured questionnaires were used in fieldwork.
