Background and Objective: The identity-building components of architecture play a crucial role in strengthening cultural and religious identity, as well as fostering convergence and cohesion among different ethnicities and religions. The city of Urmia, with its rich history and cultural and religious diversity, is a prominent example of this convergence. Recognizing and enhancing these components can help preserve and promote cultural and religious identity while strengthening social cohesion. This research continues previous studies aimed at identifying the identity-building components of architecture with an emphasis on the convergence of ethnicities and religions in the neighborhoods leading to Imam Street (the old and historic fabric of Urmia). The study aims to identify the identity-building components that influence architecture and define the specific characteristics of the architecture in that region.
Methodology: The current research is developmental in terms of its objective and applied in nature, as it seeks to recognize the identity-building components of architecture with an emphasis on the convergence of ethnicities and religions. Given the nature of the research topic, the research method of this dissertation is considered a mixed quantitative-qualitative study. However, the core of the research relies on a descriptive-analytical method. In the descriptive-analytical section, field surveys, data collection through observation, interviews, photography, etc., are conducted.
Findings and Conclusion: The results from examining the central neighborhoods leading to Imam Street in Urmia show that the identity-building components of architecture significantly enhance and reflect the cultural and religious identity of the city. The architectural diversity in these neighborhoods represents extensive cultural and religious interactions that have contributed to the peaceful coexistence of different ethnicities and religions. This study indicates that architecture can act as a powerful tool for fostering convergence and social cohesion, and attention to these components can help preserve and promote cultural and religious identity while enhancing social cohesion.
