Abstract :
    To build a building from the first steps to the final stages, we always need geometry knowledge. In certain forms in nature, certain proportions can be observed. These geometric proportions are based on abstract and supernatural principles based on the belief in the sacredness of their subject and have a symbolic language with spiritual characteristics. Hence they are called sacred geometry. The sanctity of geometry is part of a more general view that human civilization has a spiritual and Ebadi origin in ancient times. So history of geometry dates back centuries. In the traditional world, geometry was indissoluble of other Pythagorean quadruple sciences, namely, accounts, music and astronomy. An architecture that is close to geometry is the creator of sacred places throughout the millennia, and man has tried to provide a sort of heavenly manifestation. Iranian architecture has always emphasized beauty, and Iranians have tried to apply proportions in the dimensions of buildings that reflect the cosmic relations and the golden ratio. Geometry is one of the foundations of traditional Iranian art and architecture, which can be seen in all of the remarkable works of the past. This is important in architecture, because the architectural basis is build, and it is necessary to use a precise geometry and order to build it. Not only do traditional Iranian architectural works of geometry from ancient times to Islamic era, Iranian contemporary architecture also adheres to these principles
