ABSTRACT:Various investigations have been carried out about the Jami mosque of Isfahan before and each of them considered analyzing a part of assets of this magnificent arte fact. A part of these studies focused on the building fabric and resulted in the pathology of this building. A group of published works have been concentrated on the architectural styles of the building and its evolution through the various reigns of Iranian kings. Arthur pope and Andre Godard analyzed the shapes and styles of the building before and after Islam. Recent researches have also been carried out more about the brick laying systems of vaults, brick ornaments, tile works and plastering.
However not enough research has been done about the aesthetic aspects and using golden proportion in the facades and quadruple vaulted porticos of this mosque. A comprehensive study about the golden ratio and golden proportion which is rooted in the Fibonacci series has led towards a geometrical shape which has been used as a standard measure to check the existence of any employment of golden ratio. Placing this standard shape over the arches of vaults in facades according to the scale of the maps revealed the usage of golden proportion in them. Architects and master builders of this mosque were aware of the adjunctions to the building throughout history and were trying to create coordination and harmony between various parts by using proportion systems.
