        <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi;">The use of educational methods tailored to the personal characteristics of architecture students has garnered significant attention from researchers in recent years. Emphasizing students' learning styles, which is a crucial aspect of individual differences, is of paramount importance. This descriptive-analytic study investigates the relationship between the learning styles of architecture students and their creativity and academic performance. Additionally, in the second phase of the research, the impact of proposed architecture training models on enhancing learners' creativity is examined. The statistical sample comprises 107 individuals, including high school students and both undergraduate (BA) and graduate (MA) students. Data collection was conducted using Kolb's learning styles questionnaire. Furthermore, the grades from the design workshop courses of the students before and after implementing the educational models were recorded. In this research, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was utilized to determine the significance of varying levels of creativity among different learning styles. Additionally, in the second phase of the study, an independent t-test was employed to assess the impact of the educational models on improving learners' creativity. The results indicate that students with a divergent learning style exhibited the best performance in creative design and adaptation to educational models. Finally, the integration of individuals with different learning styles into groups for design projects was presented.</span></p> Manuscript profile

        <p>The present article emphasizes the need to pay attention to the environmental dimensions and especially the natural substrate in architectural and urban planning projects. Comprehensive attention to nature is necessary in all cultural and climatic dimensions of architecture. Relying on the knowledge of technology, modern man has no qualms about changing and destroying nature, and a review of recent experiences shows the destruction of natural resources by implementing some plans on different scales. Of course, the advancement of technology does not necessarily conflict with the natural mechanism and sometimes it also takes steps to strengthen the relationship with the natural environment. This is despite the fact that the ancients paid more attention to nature and their hand-made works were made with much higher harmony than nature. Based on field observations and citing library sources and document analysis, this research seeks to prove the hypothesis that modern architectural knowledge should also give more importance to the adaptation of design to nature and take steps to strengthen human interaction with nature as much as possible. Undoubtedly, understanding this issue with practical training and workshops based on environmental knowledge can provide better conditions for sustainable development. The aim of this training will be to gain scientific knowledge about the resources of the natural environment, moral principles, values and skills in line with sustainable development.</p> Manuscript profile
