Abstract
Empty spaces have an active and powerful identity architecture. The empty spaces provide the manifestation of meaning by emptying themselves of matter; and perception the meaning affects the audience. MullaSadra considers matter to be associated with nothingness, which includes sensory perception. He considers the senses incapable of revealing external reality. In fact, value to empty spaces is value to immaterial. In this context, Sadra's thoughts on perception can be adapted to architectural issues. This research is of qualitative and interdisciplinary type that has been done by comparative-analytical method and by using documentary studies.
Results: empty spaces are the place of manifestation of meanings, which can affect its audience. By adapting Sadra's perceptual views with the meanings in the empty space, we find that space, due to the emptiness of matter, allows the expression of meanings and perception, which affects the audience unconsciously(implicitly) and consciously(explicitly). According to Sadra, walking in empty spaces is like a kind of movement from the outside to the inside, in which the audience realizes a kind of implicit perception that leads him to meaning(perfection).
aims:
1. Explain the semantic position of architectural empty spaces and how it affect the audience.
2. The connection and adaptation of Mulla Sadra's philosophical views on perception with the perception of meaning in architectural empty spaces.
questions:
1. What are the semantic effects of the empty spaces on the audience?
2. How can Mulla Sadra's philosophical view of perception be adapted to the perception of meaning in a empty space?
