Abstract
Meaning in life is what people understand their existence and see their life as meaningful, and it is also the stage where people understand themselves for having an overarching goal or purpose in life. The purpose of this research was the philosophy of meaning and concept of musical art in urban design. The current research method was descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting information was library. The findings showed that time is an important concept in architecture and music, the concept of time is well understood in music, and movement, weight and passage of time are related to the creation of time and space. This concept of time in Iranian arts makes it gain contemporary conceptual weight, and the repetition of weight patterns is a simple expression of this thought, which is used in paintings using slimes, geometric designs, fluidity, and existing periods in urban design. Due to the depth of the artistic concepts that it has, architecture has many semantic similarities with other arts, which is more evident in the art of music, these two arts participate in the creation of space; Music creates a spiritual space in urban design, and architecture creates a material space, and this is one of the reasons that they have a single vocabulary and structure. Iran's music has reached its peak over the years by taking advantage of various factors; Because these factors are rooted in culture and we witness the use of the same paradigms in art and urban design.
