Abstract:
Statement of the problem: In addition to the many factors leading to the creation of shelter, the
role of sociocultural factors in the creation of the effects of immaterial tissue on the transfer of
the meaning of architectural works is modeled. One of the architectural phenomena that can be
a reflection of social discourse in its reading is “high-rise residential buildings.” Meanwhile, the
relationship between architecture and cinema, which has been used for many times in both areas,
is the venue for review and convincing the audience.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the discourse and semiotic analysis
methods can be applied to architectural works and a systematic search for the meanings that have
been shown to influence the impact of the cultural and social context on the emotional audience.
With this aim, after analyzing the archive of Iranian cinema, analyzes have been presented with
the aim of matching and identifying the interconnectedness of the discursive space of cinematic
works with architectural works.
Research method: This study, using the library and cinema documents of Iran, in a discursive
semantic manner, introduces movies as a semiotic source. It also analyzes the format of discourses
in samples of films which deals in a way with the theme of high buildings. Then, through
intertextualization, it has received some of the meaning of architecture in an open and fluid form.
The findings of this research have been presented through descriptive-analytic method.
Conclusion: Discourse semantics can be a logical reason for reading the meaning of architecture.
Considering the social cohesion of high-rise residential buildings, one can say that they make
privacy and neighborhood borders. Such buildings are the basis of materialism, individualism and
ostentation, which are more reflected in the middle class of society. It is also in line with the growth
of the social role of women and the new model of the family. Reading these meanings and this
mirroring, together with the need for high-rise residential buildings, can lead to a transformation in
the design of this architectural example.
