Abstract
The basis of authenticity is culture; Culture is a clear manifestation of social life; Social life lies in communication with human beings, and human beings have a direct relationship with architecture. Architecture and culture are two sides of the same coin, so that architecture in any period is the expression of the dominant culture in society. In this regard, this study, with the approach of cultural studies and the method of logical reasoning, seeks to answer the following question: How and on what basis can cultural authenticity in architecture be explained and studied?
This research was discussed with the approach of cultural studies and the method of logical reasoning and post-examination logic, after library and documentary studies to analyze the culture from the approach of Islamic realism and under it the perceptions of Allameh Tabatabai. In the following, interviews were conducted with 11 prominent Iranian professors. The concepts extracted from the interviews were coded and the topics of the written texts of the interviews were categorized and finally the model of cultural authenticity in architecture was abstracted from the perspective of Islamic thought based on the perceptions of Allameh Tabatabai. Cultural originality follows from the existence of constant and changing appearance, which in architecture is the constant and ongoing discussion of life and also the variable that will create physical and spatial structures.
