Abstract

One of the primary goals in mosques design is to connect the users to Allah. By accepting privacy as an origin to approach to that, the question notices properties and dimensions of privacy in Persian gardens as great examples of private places in Islamic Iranian architecture. Next question follows orders create privacy affordance to them. The results shows orders are: Light, color, sound, material, and air condition orders. Finding orders have been linked to mosques design through recommendations which focus on preparing privacy and community together, based on Islam worship order. The methodology is descriptive, analytical and observational.
