Abstract

This research explores the relationship between the language of art and architecture in the process of understanding space in urban environments. Given the importance of visual aspects and sensory experiences in urban spaces, the role of art and architecture in creating and shaping these experiences has been examined. This paper investigates the role of art in creating aesthetic experiences and emotions in urban spaces, as well as the impact of architecture on the process of spatial perception and experience. The results of this study may help architects, artists, and urban planners identify the best methods for integrating art and architecture in the design and creation of urban spaces to enhance the experience of citizens. Consequently, this research particularly aims to answer how this interdisciplinary approach in architecture can strengthen our understanding of the non-visual aspects of space and stimulate architectural creativity. Thus, integrating artistic elements into architecture, and vice versa, can improve citizens' experiences of urban spaces, making urban life more beautiful and attractive. Therefore, utilizing collaborative tools to create suitable and pleasant urban spaces is of great importance. This interaction between the language of art and architecture can contribute to the creation of dynamic, creative, and unique urban spaces, instilling a sense of beauty and connection with their living environment in citizens.
