Rabae' Rashidi is the most distinguished endowed institution and the greatest scientific and cultural center of the m hanian era that was constructed by Rashidedin Fazllolah (15th century AD), the prudent prime minister of Khazan Khan; but after his assassination by Abu Saied, Rabae' Rashidi was ruined down to the earth. Today, the ruins are located in Tabriz.
Many valuable studies on the educational and administrative organization of Rabae' Rashidi has since been carried out; nevertheless, the physical planning and architectural organization of which has remained vague. Although, in the deed of endowment all constructional details and urban elements are written down, but no one has sought to recreate its image. On the other hand, no archeological excavation is done in the ruins of Rabae' Rashidi.
In this study, it has been sought to illustrate the spatial and locational organization of Rabae' Rashidi through analyzing the content of the deed of endowment and by building up various hypothesis and finally achieving an imaginary design which is presented here.
The mentioned design is documented with the accurate information given in the deed of endowment and shows that Rabae' Rashidi has had a coherent and concrete physical organization, emerging from sophiticated thoughts of Rashidedin Fazllolah, that could be used as an Islamic planning pattern today.
