Changing the Architectural Elements and it’s Effect on Mosul Architecture

Abstract

AbstractThe research problem has been determined through the necessity of thearchitectural elements and determining their relations to one anther with the aim ofstudying the shifts that have been taken place in Mosul architecture. The researchmethodology encompasses the application of this frame to buildings that date back tothe various stages of architectural change. Consequently, to find out change that haveoccurred in Mosul architecture elements and the diachronic relations which testify toeither continuity or change in it. The research also embraces the method of collectingdata on building samples. These include (20) building samples chosen according toobjective criteria. Then, a case study on these samples has been applied using a specialformula. In Consequence, results relating to the research hypothesis have testified,together with the finding, significant variance between the architectural phases throughthe changes that have taken place in the architectural elements.Keyword: Mosul architecture, architectural stages and change.
