Problem statement: Contemporary cities require a stronger sense of identity and place, particularly concerning their historic sites. In this context, the recovery of hidden spaces is of paramount importance. This study defines “hidden spaces” as historically significant buildings that no longer have a physical presence or visible trace.
Research objective: This study aims to introduce a new type of oral history through field studies one that is not only auditory but also visual. It presents an innovative approach that relies heavily on the interaction between the witness (interviewee) and the field researcher (interviewer). This method involves physical and mental movement through space and time, recognizing building plans, the development of forms, and architectural details of historical structures. This process is referred to in this study as the “Architectural Proving Ground.”
Research method: The research is applied in purpose and descriptive-analytical, conducted through qualitative methods. Sampling was conducted in stages, combining convenience, snowball, and purposive sampling techniques. The study’s statistical population, in its physical-spatial aspect, includes religious buildings in Rasht from the Safavid era to the end of the Pahlavi II period. In terms of human resources, the study draws upon local witnesses and elders who were involved in or have observed events related to these buildings.
Conclusion: The analysis reveals that within the conditions of the Architectural Proving Ground, the lived experiences of the witnesses—guided by the researcher—through methodical steps involving hypothesis presentation and testing, lead to the spatial anchoring of the witnesses’ memories. This, in turn, brings meaning to these places and uncovers patterns of architectural transformation and development across historical periods. The study thus offers a scientific framework that demonstrates how the Architectural Proving Ground can facilitate the visual re-creation of hidden spaces and help identify the lost spatial structures associated with them (such as memories and related events) in historic cities.
