دور المنشأ في تطورات عمارة القرن العشرين في العراق

Abstract

It may by said that there is a historical relationship between architecture and structure which was strongly affected by the technological developments. Therefore structure as a factor of the material base of architectural technology is very influencing factor in design activity, and in architectural configuration. Many, other points of views and transformations that appeared casted their shadows upon the Iraqi architecture of 20th century, each period carried the entry of architectural and structural styles which caused a variation in effect, So the knowledge gap that the research focuses on the absence of the role of structure (on the practical level as a direct influencing factor) in the shaping of Iraqi architecture. The subject matter is dealt with through an inductive research for the purpose of establishing basic concepts of the nature of structural effect upon styles and stresses the theoretical and practical integration in the developments of the 20th century architecture. The research reveals the large effect of structural
system on architectural form according to the principle (cause- results). And the research concluded that:  There are many influences factors (especially in structural technology) contributed to the shaping
and styling of architecture in every period and place.
 There is a large effect upon architectural configuration (on practical and theoretical level) by
structure in the various periods of Iraqi architecture, then concluded the levels of the nature of
structural effect on architectural form, and their applications upon local architectural development
