The formation of invisible architecture according to environmental tendencies techniques
Increasing awareness of the need to take care of the planet and reduce the negative effects of human impact on the environment at the level of all aspects of life, including architecture has become essential. The invisible architecture and in accordance with the environmental tendencies appeared as one of the contemporary trends to be that formation that achieves a blend with the environment surrounding and based on techniques that reduce its appearance to emphasize the importance of the external environment and trying to return to nature and increase green spaces in a manner that reduces pollution to the minimum level. Therefore, this architecture is part of the site and not just an added part to it, as well as its quest to increase operational efficiency and to reduce its negative impact on the environment in addition to improving the built environment that enhances health and well-being of the user. Many previous international studies highlighted various aspects of invisible architecture and the techniques and technologies for achieving them, noticing the limitation of Arabic and local studies that dealt with this topic. This research aims to provide clear and comprehensive knowledge of the techniques of achieving invisible architecture in its environmental perspective with its multiple formations, which can be adopted effectively by the designer in general, and in a manner, that serves the reality of the Arab and local experience. And in line with the local natural and urban environment to keep pace with contemporary global trends.
Architectural Mimetism between Heritage and Technological
The rapid technological progress, media and marketing of urban development has affected the features of contemporary Arab architecture in general and Iraq in particular, in terms of designing either regarding to the local identity or regardless to it, so this research tends to study and analyze a group of architects who constantly work on local projects in Iraq to mimic those who do it in harmony with the local identity, and those who work on globalized basis preparing their designs of modern technological references without taking into account the local identity, neglecting the spirit of heritage and the possibility of making an mimetism between heritage and modernism, to produce high-tech designs, performance forms and attributes that bear the spirit of heritage and mimics the identity of humans making it the highest value in design as humans are the user of this new urban environment.
This research focuses on the certain definition of the term mimetism and the mechanism used to apply it in terms of architectural design thoroughly then drawn conclusions from the practical study to illustrate what have been learned through carrying out the study and analysis of those projects along with general conclusions for the research as a whole.
