This paper explores the meaning of historicism in architecture from Hegel’s point of view. In Hegel’s holistic view, in history’s existence up to the “History sprit” in different times leads to be titlesd as “History act”. In this way of thinking about history, history is continuous and historical developments and events take place with dialectical logic. Accordingly, the understanding of architecture is possible solely through the comprehension of historical continuity and its relation to the manifestations of the World Spirit. In fact, the architecture of each era reflects a specific mode of human awareness of the self and the world, embodied in space, form, and meaning; thus, it can be considered one of the concrete aspects of the dialectical course of history. This qualitative research is based on interpretative-analytical paradigm. The results of this research show that Hegelian historicism in architecture can be considered from general and specialized views. From a general point of view, Hegelian historicism in a simple and brief expression means that all human activities, as well as architecture, are defined based on their own history. But in particular, Hegelian historicism in architecture, as an applicable methodology derived from the theory Hegel’s Zeitgeist theory. This methodology can be used to study issues related to the context and historical facilities of the period of creation of architectural works from different points of view.
