Abstract
Architecture is a mixture of science and art. Accordingly, there is always moving between the two poles of sense and sensibility. There is always something new to discover and interpret in artifacts. Theorists in aesthetics and psychology believe that many architectural forms have cultural, sociological, philosophical, psychological, etc. meanings higher than their functional values, which can be expressed through the structure of architecture. Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst and founder of the School of Psychoanalysis, by studying dreams, sacred texts and myths, could reach archetypes in the human psyche that have been repeated throughout the history of human life in art and human works. Jung believes that there is a psychological system that has a collective, universal, and impersonal nature that is common to all human beings. This collective unconscious does not grow individually but it is inherited and consists of pre-existing forms, ie archetypes. The purpose of this article is to answer the question of how to understand its reverberation in the structure of architecture from an accepted value in the field of psychoanalysis. Based on the nature of the research, this research is qualitative and has been done by descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research indicate that in fact, part of architecture as art is a symbolic expression of the collective human psyche and transforms its mental contents into matter.
Architecture occupies two thresholds at the same time; First, structural, industrial and material reality, and second, abstract, semantic, artistic and spiritual.
