Development Of The Form And Meaning Relationship In Architecture, Akram Jassim Alakkam, Ayad Ahmed Elhyti
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Many architectural literatures and studies emphasized on the relationship between Form and meaning. Ihat relationship varied through historical periods as a result of the natureof thinking changes reflecting specifically on that relationship. The research aims to verify the nature of relationship between form and meaning through historical and philosophical approaches in architecture. The research hypothesizedvariation of structural principles of that relationship To achieve the research's aim, It was subdivided into three parts. The first, historical dealt with a greek, gothic, romanesque, renaissance, and Baroque architecture, While the second part displayed the modern and contemporary architecture (post-modernsim and deconstractivism).

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Accumulization, in contemporary Architecture, gained significance during the last decadeof 20th century. It represents an attempt in changing the receiver imagination and to reinforcehis role in reading and interpreting an architectural text which contains multiple layers ofrepeat; condensation and differences to achieve cultural continuity'Accumulization has been used to mean intertextuality to link traditions in Post_ ModernArchitecture and what follows, after modernism had failed to utilize repetition, whichrepresent an archetype of accumulation.This paper deals, primarily, in Post- Modern and De- construction architecture, toexplore how these two movement had reacted to accumulation; though definingaccumulization, in order to establish framework, a set ofconclusions …

The Morphology Of The City Of Jerusalem And The Israeli Strategies To Judaize The City, Muamal Alaaaldeen Ibrahim
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
The Jewish state worked swiftly and effectively to erase and deny the Arab and Islamic past of Jerusalem, giving it a Jewish character within strategic plans at the regional level, encompassing Greater Jerusalem and the Old City. The Arabs failed to develop any plan to counter the Zionist scheme, and most Arab studies and research addressing the topic were historical, descriptive, and selective. This research examines the planning principles and urban references of Jerusalem, comparing them with other Arab and Islamic cities to refute Zionist claims regarding the origins and historical context of the holy city. The study reveals a …

Empiricism and Relationalism, the fl^,o main trends ofphilosophical thought each taking a different and contradictive stance towards the nature ofhuman knowledge resources and the data ofthe explicit and implicit facts ofthe uorld. These trvo trends continue to have a mutual effect, either individually or together on the role ofexperience or reason in interpreting the relationship between these facts and the absolute truth. This paper aims to clarifi and diagnose the differential components ofthe notions of continuity and secession in each of the previous trends leading to clarify the Arab-Islamic thought which is based upon the notions ofcontinuity and secession, and …

In this paper simple method were presented to assist architect to be closer and suitable inhis design to the climate of Iraq.For that reference models presented and given as a guide, so that as much as his design becloser to the basis of the design of the model. his design become more efficient from climaticpoint of view.In this stage the presented reference models are not the ideal models, but they can beconsidered as a possible level of design could be achieved by ordinary designers. Architectsqualified in climatic design do not need to have reference models.

Corner Joint In Architecture Basic Concepts, Atef Muharb Al-Sauhairy
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
It can be said that any human creation, including architecture, requires two complementary types of action: theoretical action and practical action. The former represents ideas and feelings, while the latter represents the ability to materially embody these ideas. The dialectical relationship between them is one of the foundations of architectural development and, at any level, represents the "joint." There are several levels of joints in architecture, and this research focuses on identifying the dimensions and levels of the corner joint. The topic is approached through an inductive study aimed at establishing the fundamental concepts for dealing with this joint. As …

The Effect Of Design Treatments Of Building Barriers On Providing Visual Blocking In Residential Homes, Miqdad Haidar Al-Jawadi, Adeeb Noori
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Many modern residential buildings lack visual barriers between their interior spaces to provide privacy, such as those created by doors and other openings. This is due to a lack of consideration for the placement of these openings. This research aims to explore design treatments that enhance visual barriers between spaces. Visual barriers are understood through visual connection and lack of visual connection, according to the research concept. The study examines several residential building plans of different styles and identifies the elements of visual barriers within these buildings. The degree of visual barrier for each architectural design treatment is measured by …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
The pleasure of architecture does not result from the absence of its laws, but rather from breaking them. One must realize that language is not a rigid material like stone. It is a human invention, and therefore it is charged with the cultural heritage of cultural groups, but it is only built through difference... The recent period has witnessed clear changes in thought and the expressive languages that embody it towards building new ways of understanding and communication among humanity. Several philosophical approaches have emerged that focused on the revolution of difference in the structure of their philosophical discourse, including …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Architecture, like language, aims to convey meaning, and since no meaning comes out of it as a system, change becomes an inherent characteristic of it as one of the most important characteristics of any system... and from that, architecture changes from one period to another and its meaning changes. Events of change in architecture are associated with giving a role to the recipient in interpreting it, as its change simulates his intellectual ability when the mind is surprised by an architecture whose characteristics are not known in advance, which makes the recipient a participant of the creator in the process …

A Scale For Building Compactness, Mohamed Mohamed Saeed
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Compactness in the architectural design means the interrelation and interlocking ofthe building spaces, in contrast to compactness, is the looseness. conrpactness in this paper is defined as the sum of the square roots of the areas ofthe buildine spaces devided bv its oerimeter. The optimum shape ofresidential buildinss in hot dry climates as the_majority of researchers suggests; is that shape u''hich has a maximum voffi; such a shape can be called a compact one but ithout mentioning a definite value to its compactness that is because the available scale is a descriptive one. So it seems clear the imporlance of …

Throughout its various stages of development, the Yemeni people were able to succeed in creating their architectural and urban formations and establishing an organic, environmentally friendly architecture. Through their adaptation to the nature of the region, they were able to create architectural styles that are distinct from other styles, both in the Arab world and globally. Traditional Yemeni architecture and urban planning have adapted well to the surrounding environment, fulfilling their functional needs and aligning with the religious nature of the population. Traditional Yemeni architects created architecture integrated with the terrain, utilizing readily available raw materials, thus saving time, money, …
