Despite thediversity in the studies related to metaphorical image. In addition, the specialstandards forwarded for metaphorical image were dependent on selective formula asthey were conjugated with the cultural context to which the critic belongs giving suchinterpretations. These studies.could not formulate a theoretical framework comprisedcultural contexts. Its methodology concentrated ontheconstructionof atheoreticalframework, the isolation of the variables related its main aspects, the clarification ofits measurements and the performance of a selected field study which includes themain aspects of the evaluation process.This papers …

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Previous architectural studies have presented new concems for contemporarydesign of mosques. These concems were raised on both academic and professionallevels. what is significant is to elaborate on special aspects of these concems, instead of limited understanding without it being comprehensive enough to utilizc the mentaland intellectual content in the local meliue.Displacement represents a major concern specially its relationship to conceptsand forms; and what the design process aims at to achieve uniqueness in expression. It is possible to enterprite unique qualities in ideas expressed architecturally as adisplacement of current types, which is founded on a deep design problem.This paper discusses displacement …

Measurement Of Beauty In Architecture, Sahar Najeeb Karrufa
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Several years ago an attempt was made to measure the beauty of thearchitectural design. The objective was to prepare the design for evaluation by acomputer. It was found that such measurement was very complicated and requiresmuch more research. Several more attempts were made to fill in ih" gup. but the totalpicture remained unclear. This paper attempts to draw a map for futuri work.The object of beauty in architecture depends on content and form. Contentincludes function and symbol. But the subject is complicated by the fact that beauty issubjective and changes according to viewer, time, and place.

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 …

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 …

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.
