description In this study, the aesthetic design approach of architectural precedents of Safavid Architecture was examined based on users' perceptions, which were obtained by using perception questionnaire instrument. The research method included concurrent qualitative and quantitative analyses of data. Data analysis procedure was conducted through descriptive statistical analysis and by sorting thematic information for Initial categories, which were defined by the theoretical foundation. The researchers found that users' perceptions fell into two distinct groups. The first: structural honesty, expressions, identity, design feature, interaction as design values in the sense of aesthetic. The second: design principle, design concept, characteristic, minimalism, and style as an attribute. Such findings revealed how Safavid architectural concepts were aesthetically integrated into the diversity aspects of its architectural precedents.
