This research deals with the semantic analysis of architectural elements in the paintings of Kamaluddin Behzad and the story of "Gonbad Firouze" by Nizami, focusing on folk aspects. At first, key concepts such as architectural elements, narrative, and semantics are defined to clarify the theoretical framework of the research. Then, the similarities between these two works are examined. The main question is how the architectural elements, especially the dome and color, are used in the narration of these works and what meaningful role they have in the narrative and visual structure. The research uses a three-stage approach: In the first stage, architecture and literature are introduced as two separate narrative structures. In the second stage, the picture and the story are reread simultaneously to analyze the popular aspects of each work. In the third stage, the findings are evaluated and twelve indices are extracted for narrative architecture and eight indices for folk literature. The results show that architectural elements and colors act as mediators for conveying symbolic concepts, and in these works they have roles such as evoking a special atmosphere and creating tension. This research also emphasizes the relationship between architecture and literature through a semantic approach and examines the role of architectural elements in the creation and development of cultural narratives.

Keywords: semantics, architectural elements, folk aspects, military, Kamaluddin Behzad, narration.
