Abstract

In the text, In the text with the help of the footnote and the reference, we can show another presence in the narrative, but the architecture history contains documented and undocumented works which others presence in them been obviously and hidden. The controversy over the fake or adaptation of the works has been the theme raised in the last decades of the twentieth century and contemporary art. On the other hand, the struggle on the creation, influenced by the autonomy or heteronomy of works and the work adaptation against the forgery, is another concern. By its nature, the research is based on the recognition of the Allographic1 (affinity) / Autographic2 (single signature) and depends on the identification of the adaptation/forging. The research questions are: A. In the architectural discourse, how can interpret arousal caused by other internal forces? B. Where is the boundary between adaptation and forgery?The study is an applied research in nature, The research strategy is an analytical-interpretive, which relies on rational reasoning, explains how the hybridity3 and kinship the works and relates to the "intertextual" process by giving examples of Iranian contemporary art and architecture history (1940-1960) clarify the answers of research questions.
The present study shows that the process of intertextuality can be applied as a theoretical approach to architectural studies and emphasizes that architectural texts (works) are not autonomy. each work is in the dialogism between works before and after itself, but it does not mean that fake works also apply to the inter textual circuit because of the fake works, unlike the creation of the work in the inter textual process, do not insist on cognitive questions and are empty of dialogism between the works and the companion of the audience.
