Investigation of Bakhtiari Carpet Designs based on Kaplan-Gestalt Model

Carpet is one of the most important textiles man-made. The rug represents the aspirations and interests of the people who weave it. Therefore, recognizing the image in carpets can be a window into recognizing these ideals. In this research, Bakhtiari rug is investigated. Bakhtiari rugs (toranji, yalameh and cetral) are textiles produced by Bakhtiari people of choharmahal-o-bakhtiari province. The research method is based on the combined theory of grand theory and case study. A model was developed to investigate carpets by combining Kaplan and Gestalt methods. The Gestalt concept is based on perceiving reality in its simplest form. The various laws are called laws or principles, depending on the paper where they appear but for simplicitychr('39')s sake, this article uses the term laws. These laws took several forms, such as the grouping of similar, or proximate, objects together, within this global process. These laws deal with the sensory modality of vision. Attention restoration theory or kaplans model asserts that people can concentrate better after spending time in nature, or even looking at scenes of nature. Tasks that require mental effort draw upon "directed attention". People must expend effort to achieve focus, to delay expression of inappropriate emotions or actions, and to inhibit distractions. That is, they must concentrate on the higher task, avoiding distractions. Performing the actual task also requires other knowledge and skills. Based on this model, carpets are examined. The results show that Bakhtiari carpets do not use one method of expression and differ significantly. However, in cases such as symmetry, overlap and similarity, they have used the same approach.
