Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

The research concentrates on Communication which forms one of the main criteria in the design process, Particular attention is given to the user rather than the designer "Architect”;The architectural output process can be represented in two poles; the first, the individual element as designer ,while the other pole, represents the social output as thinker user. But the design process occurs in a much wider range than the two poles. And involved the context that achieved the output. It appears more than one context determined the relationship between parties in the process of design as a designer context, user context, and …


The Effect Of The Outside Design Elements In Daylight Levels Impact On Windows, Younis Saleem 2026 Department of Architectural Engineering, University of Technology - Iraq, Baghdad, Iraq

The Effect Of The Outside Design Elements In Daylight Levels Impact On Windows, Younis Saleem

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

The architects recognize the role of environmental elements (specially the daylight) in reach to successful design achieving better user's performance. The daylight goes to the essence of architectural work by helping to inspire the spaces with their shapes, colors, touches and surfaces. The aim of this research is to determine the fundamental step in daylight design, by measuring the daylight impact on windows. This light is the main source in lighting interior space after it's through the glass panel of window and diffuse in space. So, it's possible to increase interior light level by controlling the external daylight impact on …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

The relation between cult and space in religious buildings was considered as an important issue in different previous studies, which had confırmed, explicitly and implicitly, the role of cult ceremonies in the formulation of religious architecture, especially cult buildings. Cult ceremonies usually define the activities of the social system occupying religious buildings, and those activities find their reflection in the nature of the spaces of those buildings and what is widely known as (Spatial Configuration). This research is a comparative study aiming to define the nature of variation between Islamic mosques, ancient Egyptian and Iraqi temples in terms of spatial …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

Undoubtedly, Islam contains many sustainability and environment conservations indicators that integrated with the social values and human behaviour of the Moslems society. The concept of environment in the Islamic perception means more than the simple enumeration of its components or those of the ecological system; it transcends this to establish a link between these components and the human factor. Thus, built environment in the Islamic World was a reflection of Moslems view to environment as living entity. This view is materialized in different levels whether in the city planning or architectural design that was shaped by the beliefs and actions …


Utilizing A Cooled Roof To Increase Thermal Performance Of The Building, Sahar Najeeb Karrufa, Yahya A. Ebraheem 2026 Department of Architectural Engineering, University of Technology - Iraq, Baghdad, Iraq

Utilizing A Cooled Roof To Increase Thermal Performance Of The Building, Sahar Najeeb Karrufa, Yahya A. Ebraheem

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

The purpose of this paper is to test the use of an evaporative air cooler to cool the roof of a building. It was hoped that this would reduce the temperature inside the building and the cooling load as well when a compressor air conditioning unit is installed. Evaporative cooling is cheap and only uses a fraction of the power that compressor units do. Furthermore its cooling effect increases with the rise in temperature and drop in humidity, conditions that prevail in large parts of Iraq including Baghdad. The test included setting up a thermally insulated compartment above a room …

The Relationship Between Theoretical Concepts And Architecture, Khalil Ibrahim Ali, Basim Hasan Al Majid, Ahmed Hashim Hammed El-Eqapy

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

Throughout history, man has questioned the existence of (phenomenas) that surrounds him, with the intention of finding convincing answers that could verify and generalize these events. His aim was to formulate a mental reality which could frame up these (phenomenas) in a theoretical discourse of his understanding. Architecture was distinguished by utilizing various projections on its reality in order to create its theoretical framework. This rollows a variety of references and sources. As a result, it contained various factors to match the intellectual demands of any period. To understand the influence of variety in the theoretical input of architecture, this …


The Nature Imitation Strategy And The Sustainable Architectural Form – Analytical Study For Organic Formsthrough The Architectural Product Of Eguen Tsui, Sanaa Sati Abbas, Rana Momtaz Dawood 2026 Department of Architectural Engineering, University of Technology- Iraq, Baghdad, Iraq

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

Literature review showed that sustainability is a phenomenon which had been studied in different disciplines, particularly in architecture. These studies showed that the aim of architectural sustainability is the integration between buildings and environment. Literature review mentioned the role of nature imitation strategy in the generating of sustainable form, whose characters effects on the building efficiency and ,provide comfort to its users , but this had not been studied in practice. The research problem was, there was a gap in the relationship between the organic sustainable architectural form and the nature imitation strategy, as one of sustainability strategies. So the …
