Concepts In The Products Of Students In The Iraqi Architectural Schools, Parizat Q. Hussein Fehmi Fehmi

Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning

Concepts are considered as an important part in the architectural design process and play a major role in achieving new and distinctive products. They are the life giving of architecture and represent a means to understanding the essence of the project. Forming concept is no easy way; it requires intensive and creative efforts. From reading previous studies on concepts and realizing their importance, and the problems that block skill development in conceptualizing for designers including architectural students, one easily realizes the lack in knowledge in the nature of concepts which is seen in the products of students in the Iraqi …

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 Apr 2026

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 …
