Tabriz city to clarify the thought and common language of Iranian Islamic architecture. The research is based on a combined method including historical interpretive and general descriptive-analytical approach, and the results indicate that Iranian-Islamic architecture is based on the continuity of thought, which can be seen as a common language and pattern in works derived from abstract, cultural, and social concepts.
