The historiography of this government faces many uncertainties, but there is no doubt that they were able to establish a unified government in Iran for the first time. The Median period is one of the least well defined periods of Iranian Archeology and Architecture. To speak of Median Art means, first of all, mentioning the huge gaps in our knowledge of Median history. However, architecture in the Medes Dynasty is surrounded with ambiguity due to limited explorations and ambiguous dates. An important part of the Medes architecture is devoted to places of worship. The central shrine of Noushijan Tappe is one of the most important ritual spaces of the Medes, and as a result of excavations and observation of the fillings, it was found that this shrine was sealed without the slightest damage. Further excavations in the territory of the Medes, revealed other sites with the same conditions as Noushijan Tappe. It was believed that these shrines had a similar fate as the central shrine of Noushijan Tappe. In this research, which is based on a descriptive-analytical method and a case study, with the aim of studying architecture from the concept of design to the function of ritual spaces of the Medes, an architectural comparison is made between  the central shrine of  Noushijan in Malayer, Zarbolagh shrine in Aliabad Qom and Ozbaki shrine in Nazarabad, in order to reach a design pattern specific to  these places of worship. The research concludes that most of the religious buildings built at the time of the Medes Empire were blocked during the Achaemenid rule. The Achaemenids only hindered access to the Medes places of worship and did not destroy them. It seems that the (XPh) inscription of Xerxes and the law against atheistic religions in the Achaemenid period caused these shrines to be blocked. We find that these religious buildings used a special architectural pattern and this pattern is repeated in different forms in most of the religious buildings constructed under the rule of the Medes. It is understood that while the function and architectural concepts remain the same in these buildings, each shows a different architectural design. The architects of that period designed the building in such a way that the sacred space is separated from the main building. Not everybody was allowed into the sacred parts, and those who wished to enter had to wait beforehand in a spare room.  Some constructs had a window built in the spare room that gave the person-in-waiting a view to the sacred room.  Unfortunately, some of the religious buildings of this historical period were destroyed after many years, which made it difficult to identify this architectural concept in them. Finally, the paper will highlight similarities between the western shrine of Noshijan Tappe and Vasun stone building in Kahak and Takhcharabad shrine in Birjand and Hajikhan shrine in Famenein with the above sites.}, keywords = {medes architecture,Places of Worship,Noushijan Tappe,Zarbolagh,Tappe Ozbaki,Architectural concept}, title_fa = {سنجش کانسپت معماری فضای نیایشگاهی در دوران ماد در نوشیجان تپه ، زاربلاغ و تپه ازبکی}, abstract_fa = {مادها به عنوان اولین حکومت یکپارچه و مرکزی ایران شناخته می­شوند. معماری این حکومت به واسطه کاوش­های محدود و تاریخ­گذاری­های مبهم، دچار ابهاماتی است. بخش عمده معماری ماد را تالارهای ستوندار، مجموعه انبارها و فضاهای نیایشگاهی تشکیل می­دهند. فضاهای نیایشگاهی به واسطه اطلاعات ناکافی از آیین مادها به­عنوان پر ابهام­ترین بخش معماری ماد شناخته می­شوند. نیایشگاه مرکزی نوشیجان مهم‌ترین فضای نیایشگاهی ماد است که در جریان کاوش­های آن مشخص شد که این نیایشگاه بدون کوچک­ترین آسیبی مهر و موم شده است. با کاوش­های بیشتر در قلمرو حکومتی ماد، محوطه­های دیگری با شرایط یکسان با نوشیجان آشکار شدند که گمان می‌رود سرنوشت یکسانی با این نیایشگاه داشتند. در این پژوهش با روش توصیفی­_تحلیلی و مطالعه موردی و با هدف خوانش معماری از کانسپت طراحی و کارکرد فضاهای نیایشگاهی ماد، سنجشی معمارانه بین نیایشگاه مرکزی نوشیجان تپه، نیایشگاه زاربلاغ و تپه ازبکی صورت گرفته است، این سنجش در انتها دستیابی به یک الگوی مفهومی دو بخشی در طراحی این نیایشگاه­ها را میسر می­سازد. در بخش نتیجه­گیری، همانندی­های این نیایشگاه­ها در زمینه کانسپت و ساختار معماری، بستر محیطی و مصالح ساختمانی ذکر خواهد شد. در نهایت به شباهت­های ساختاری و عملکردی بناهای مذکور با نیایشگاه غربی نوشیجان تپه، بنای سنگی واسون کهک، نیایشگاه تخچرآباد بیرجند و نیایشگاه حاجی­خان فامنین نیز اشاره­ای خواهد شد.}, keywords_fa = {معماری ماد,فضای نیایشگاهی,نوشیجان تپه,زاربلاغ,تپه ازبکی,کانسپت معماری}, url = {https://jfaup.ut.ac.ir/article_91710.html}, eprint = {https://jfaup.ut.ac.ir/article_91710_f53f376a2220c97124151fa89e63aca0.pdf} }
