From the among ivy leaves, a lanterns had lighted the pavement up to the door. The pool water did not, move and the old dark trees in the dusky light of this wet spring night was looked twisted, silent and obedient. Emphasizing on the darkness makes the city's old trees dark and colorless and creates a mentality of the space in the mind of the viewer and reader. So, Plants, lights and roads, all have become modernized of the city that looks silent and colorless or in another story the air was cloudy a pale steam had covered the window glass and from behind that roof the house of neighboring was seen that a sheet of snow sat on it. Mrs Sayyedeh had come today in the snow and cold came on the stick; she was searching for Bahram's home to go and serves Halva of dead. The Modernist city is still cold and dark. So, on the streets of Istanbul, a pale white light showed the pale color of the lights darker. The White black clouds were scattered on blue sky and a cold weather was harming my nose and my ears.
It seems that if it is supposed correspond to each moment of history a color is considered, we can attribute this period to gray. Gray is the color of shadows; it is the color of ambiguity and uncertainty; it is the color of cloud and fog. Neither it is white nor black, but is either white or black. It is a color that neither associated with past nor the future it is gray that by simplicity is mysterious. Since it is ashes that represent s the passionate fire that now it is strained to Gray. Cement colors and modern architecture. It describes the various writings of Tehran in the presence of shadows, fog and three colors, white, black and gray are emphasized. The following are all extracted from the story of "The Blind Owl" by Sadeq Hedayat. I fell on the deserted streets , on my way strange houses in gray geometric shapes: cubes, prisms, cones and dark was seen with short valves.
Here my shot, when I put my eyes on each other, the fade and mixed shadows of the city what has influenced me with palaces, mosques and gardens all pictured in front of my eyes. I looked out of my room window, a black tree with the butchery that was closed could be seen; the dark shadows, were mixed together. I felt that everything is empty and temporary. The sky was black and tarry like an old Black Tent that made holes on by countless bright stars. The last night when I went to the picnic the weather was rainy and thick fog wrapped around so, in the rainy weather that reduces of colors and objects I felt a type of freedom and comfort and it was like that the rain washed my dark thoughts out. On this night what should not be happened, occurred, - I was aimlessly strolling around but in these hours of lonely I do not remember the minutes in detail much harder than ever for shock and fade like smoke appearing from behind the clouds, its motionless face like paintings depicted on the cover of the pen in front of my eyes. When I got back, I think half of night had passed and a dense fog was spread in the air, so that just I did not see in front of my feet but out of habit and a specific sense that has been awakened in me I got to the door. So, Hedayat in the story of Whirlpool also provides a sample of spacing in this way. The story of "Don Juan Karaj" of Hedayat also provides a sample of innovative urban spaces; a city with modern discipline and the concept of "Faradism". Hassan has got familiar with a modern woman and is trying to synchronize with him but, ultimately his the attempt is aborted and with a trip that Hassan has organized to go Karaj, she met with another man and leaves Hassan. In fact, the story space shows a modernist urban space and the women were like Nazanin Sanam in the books. She saw the old Ford car and frightened and said I thought it was high-class automobile so; I had not ever traveled by hired car. Finally, we got in and the car moved toward Karaj. We got in before the New Age Inn therefore; apparently the inn included a dusking garden, with a long white poplar trees and a long porch that had a uniform row of white room, as if come out from a Ford plant. Women's clothes and makeup her behavior, the presence of Ford car and its uniform rooms, the name of a guesthouse and all and are the elements of a new innovative city. The dusking garden, the poplar and white lined room and city color are new and the city sound, its noise and silence also different in modern city is getting different thus, just at this time the sound of Azan was heard and the moaning of a dog was heard from the middle of morning pray . Just upon this time, the sound of a bunch of drunken patrol was heard through the street that they were strolling and exchanged lewd jokes together and then collectively burst into singing.
It is also being added that on this occasion, the din of passing cars and buses, carriages and carts past and future are present in the Modernist city and each blows his own instrument and singing their own song . Therefore, as much as the voice of Prayer calls the modern man the rupture of the past and discontinuity with it causes new urban behaviors. The innovative city focuses the person's five senses from the roughness of the walls to smoothness of the curve and the straightness of the new streets of the softness of the natural contours to the right corner of the cube and new buildings from the alarm to sounds, tastes and smells of the city, are all changing. Their house was consisting of two buildings, one old and the other was a beautiful palace that Fereydoun himself had built it and Farangez had cleaned both of these houses. When they entered into the garden, the smell of flowers was in the air, the grass fresh, everywhere was washed and dried, and the ivy crept on the walls.
Homes and city all have drawn attention to past and future and has made old and new companion together and again "If I could sit under that cypress tree surely a my calm will be produced into my life but alas, there was nothing else other than hot sands and rib bones of horses and a dog sniffing on the dung. The presence of debris and bone in space spreads the smell of the air in this space and this time the modern city in its expansion and crossing the city moat (Tehran) is being defined. However, the unpleasant odor city is defined in another description that Hedayat provides from Varamin unlike the fragrance of flowers and grass mentioned in the story of "The Nights of Tehran", in the story "stray dog" it is referred to the presence of garbage in the streets near Tehran.
The holder of alley on the right had located where they emptied rubbishes and dusts there and there, delicious pieces such as bone, fat, skin, head fish and other foods that the dog could not detect was found and then, it spent the rest of the day in front of the butchery and bakery.
The modernist city without any pre-intention involves its hesitant and rounds him or her in its space and calls for new behaviors; the behaviors that often seem unconventional. So, each of the city adobe that collapses, the collapse of old beliefs and norms can be heard, and any building that rises and a new street that is drawn imposes new behaviors and action.
. So much as the city color varies, the city life is colored and as severely as the voice of the city is being changed, the color, taste and smell of the city is also changes. The modernist city in mind of the "modern man", writers and storytellers of this era, is presented and they redefine it in all its dimensions.
Ultimately, the modernist city is a written story that the author is not in the middle and everyone calls it in a specific way as if imposing the main theme of its own story.
