Particularity Of Penetrating Vision In Traditional Environment

Abstract

The values and usages, prevailed in the milieu of the traditional Islamic and Arabic city concerning the subject of vision particularity and preventing the vision from penetrating what is not allowed, created a general view to all people ensued from deep-rooted and rich knowledge reinforced by the prevailed spiritual values originated from Islam to appear as a constructional structure with numerous and distinctive characteristics among which are the characteristics concerning the subject of visual penetration and the particularity. This constructional structure kept impacting and renovating to the present time where these phenomena started to change and to transform toward reducing the features of constructional, urban and architectural particularity, and then faded little by little. This study deals with the phenomena of visual penetration and the particularity and tries to show its impact and importance in influencing all the constructional operation like its impact on the other aspects of life which had much attention and study on the contrary of the subject of construction which does not seem that the (position) found in it what it deserves of attention in spite of its importance. This study was supported through finding the machinery and the aspects of the influence of the factor of position of particularity on the constructional structure in the past and then studying the same impact in the present time in the milieu of the contemporary Islamic city to know the importance of the visual penetration, and then the impact of this system on the structure of the urban and architectural Islamic city. This study reached many conclusions, the most important are:* The change of position of the constructional matters concerning the particularity and the visual penetration corresponds with the change of constructional production of the studied areas. Areas, where the position is focusing on the subject of particularity, the constructional phenomena appear reinforcing this position and vice versa. * The modern constructional milieu contains samples too variant in abiding by the concepts of particularity and visual penetration, which indicates the dispersion in the general position of these concepts. This study relates this fact to the absence of harmony between values and usages that prevailed in the urban society of the Islamic cities and between the usages of modern construction and the moral values accompanying it or resulted from it.
