dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The challenge of effectively incorporating architectural imagination into the design process forms the crux of this thesis. Architectural imagination involves the complex interplay of numerous elements, such as style, temporality, materials, and other factors influenced by ongoing global issues like urbanization, migration, and climate change. This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of architectural imagination and its role in the design process, particularly how it translates from abstract concept to concrete reality. It will evaluate various architectural projects from Iran and other countries to demonstrate the application of architectural imagination in different contexts. The study also seeks to identify the critical elements that must be considered in implementing architectural imagination, as well as to advocate for its inclusion in architectural education. Ultimately, the thesis aims to enrich the understanding of how architectural imagination can be effectively incorporated into the design process. Keywords: Architectural Imagination, Design Process, Urbanization, Migration, Climate Change, Architectural Education, Iran, Global Context, Materiality, Temporalityen
