Investigating the Cultural Interaction Approach in Designing the Carpet Museum

Abstract

Constructing cultural buildings and spaces has become common among different societies to respond to their needs for keeping and appreciating their art, history, culture and also showing it to other developed societies. Each society has its own culture and this culture can be sought in the art of every society. One of the closest places to culture is the museum. On the other hand, the architecture of every land is a part of its culture. Iran, having a rich and fruitful culture, increases our duty in keeping and valuing this national wealth. In fact, architecture and culture have a very close relationship with each other. The highness of the position of the Iranian carpet in the world and valuing it, like the finest spreading textures, is still standing. Global superiority and excellence can only be attributed to the art that is the original and natural reflection of the civilization and culture that has produced it. And this is what Iranian carpets enjoy to the highest extend, because they have perfected the aesthetic perspective that is prominently Iranian by creating spaces like exhibitions, stores, different and creative galleries, carpet weaving workshops, etc. Using an analytic-practical method, this research aims to introduce different global cultures through art, especially the art of carpet weaving by increasing the value of the carpet weaving art.
