Christian architecture was characterized within its various types by a set of unique design characteristics at the level of space organization, facades, and mass formation. The previous knowledge was concerned with church architecture and put forward the concept of invisible articulation through the sequence of movement of the user of space through devotional rituals (liturgy). A research problem is the lack of clarity on the nature of compatibility within the invisible details in the architecture of contemporary local Iraqi churches from the traditional. The hypothesis is that the compatibility between the invisible details in the architecture of the traditional local …

Improving Social Interaction In Vertical Housing, Lubna A. Kadhim, Mufeed Ehsan Shok
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Iraq is witnessing an increasing population growth and an influx of migration from the countryside to the city. With the lack of urban lands, vertical housing has become the final solution to this problem. However, until recently, Iraqis have rejected vertical housing, and perhaps the most important reasons are social reasons. Through previous studies, it was found that the problem of social interaction is one of the most prominent problems in vertical housing. Thus, residents of vertical residential buildings achieved lower rates of social interaction than residents of single apartment buildings. The research uses a descriptive analysis method based on …

Topological Characteristics Of An Architectural Product, Ahmed Maher Rashid, Abdullah Saadoon Salman Almaamoori
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Topology or spatial science is one of the branches of modern mathematics that cast a shadow over various cognitive sciences, including architecture, as it began to overgrow in the contemporary digital age to make room for more creativity and structural design and implementation capabilities. Yet, the characteristics of this concept are still uncommon in the architectural community and the previous studies that dealt with it in fragmentary and separate concepts. Accordingly, the research problem is “the ambiguity of knowledge about the topological characteristics of contemporary architectural products.” The research seeks to form a comprehensive theoretical framework on the topological characteristics …

Design Determinants Of Discrete Digital Surfaces, Ali Mohsen Jaafar Al-Khafaji, Shahad Alaa Soud
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
The emergence of many free structures in contemporary architecture and the transformation in aesthetics toward complex curved and folded shapes has led to a search for computer-aided design and geometric manipulations using discrete surfaces, which contributed to the creation of complex architectural surfaces that are both simple and economical at the same time. However, it is difficult to achieve such surfaces because of the complexity of representing them in an applicable and executable engineering body , and the hardship of studying and representing them structurally for they need a set of special engineering programs to obtain the required structural strength. …

Low-cost housing, so-called affordable housing, is an important subject as it affects many aspects of people's well-being and city planning. The urban poor, who form a respectable percentage of cities' residents in many developing countries, are the most affected segment by the availability and affordability of housing. Governments often try their best to provide affordable housing through housing interventions and programs. However, many low-income people end up in informal settlements including slums and squatter settlements. This research analyzes state-led low-cost housing initiatives compared to informal affordable housing in developing countries. The importance of this research is mainly associated with understanding …
