Gestalt pedagogy in visual perception interacts theoretically, philosophically, psychologically and practically with each other and with other perceptions.The most important factor in identifying any product is its shape. The explicit meaning of a product is its functional use and any object whose form refers to its use will be meaningful to the viewers. Recognizing the elements and making a message in the language of objects causes their effects in creating a relationship between form and functions and their meanings. However, one of the obvious differences between traditional art and modern art is that traditional art is inherently functional.In this article, the question is how decorative-architectural elements in traditional architecture can be found academically and functionally in designing of simplicity, continuity, figure and ground, proximity, similarity in squares such as Naqsh-e Jahan in Esfahan.
