| description | Abstract Purpose Motifs are influenced beliefs and how individuals interact with architectural features. Additionally, decorations have been emphasized as a critical component of traditional architecture. The studying architecture in Dezful, which incorporates Xowun decorations and its historical context, motivates this study. The motifs are influenced by ideas derived from Dezful's traditional society's worldview. Therefore, in addition to documenting patterns, the study of these factors affecting the formation can be considered as research objectives. Methodology The present study is a method for studying patterns and name of Xowun decoration. In this method, the name and pattern of the designs are matched and the factors affecting them are explained. Finally, a conclusion is made based on logical inference and research findings. Results The research findings describe the hidden ideas within each of the decorative groups of Xowun decoration and represent a distinct architecture level within a valuable historical context. Furthermore, the research evidence includes a comparison of the naming and patterns associated with Xowun decoration. Conclusion The study's findings indicated that society's attitudes toward Xowun decorations influence the decoration names. Therefore, Xowun decoration can be classified into Geometric pattern, Animal-related pattern, Pattern related to plants and nature, Belief and religious model, pattern of combined geometries, Pattern influenced by construction technique. Additionally, most motifs in Xowun decorations are related to plant patterns (40.65%), while the lowest percentage is related to animal patterns (4.87%). |
