Research paper thumbnail of The Formal Composition of Khans in Islamic Architecture (An Analytical Study)

The structural relations form the basic foundation which represent the most important aspect in producing the formal structure of any building thus they are considered to be the most important method in describing the physical reality of architectural production. Stemming from the above fact, the study focuses on the structural relations that form the plans. The problem of the study is that structural relations which form the plans of Khans buildings in Islamic architecture are not clear. The aim of the present study is to clarify the specialty of Muslim architect intellectuality in the formation of a particular mechanism or method to form and design studied plans with specific functions like khans. To achieve the aim of the study a theoretical framework of structural relations is built depending on modern studies on formation of those relations on the bases of the statistical analytical method. The results arrived at show that the structural relations which form and construct the plans of Khans buildings are characterized by uniqueness as a distinguishing character of Islamic architecture some of these types of building are the khans, though they differ in their architectural design, their date and ever their geographical location. This in turn gives an indication and proof of the Muslim architect creative role in determine the distinguished identity of his architecture with the incentive of Islamic cultural intellect held by that architect all over the places of his civilization whenever and wherever he exists.

Research paper thumbnail of The Attributes of Architectural Form of Traditional House Internal Facades of Mosul's Traditional House as a Case-study

This paper tries to analyze some remains of the Islamic architectural heritage in old Mosul concentrating on traditional houses and their facades in particular in order to investigate the rules and mechanisms which produce an integrated system of attributes that gave Mosul its own architectural identity. This paper adopts a methodology represented by establishing a database from multi architectural essays which deal with from, then applying concluded from them on selected examples of traditional houses in Mosul. Findings show that formal features on façade level were characterized by organized unity with concepts like balance, repetition, proportion, and scale. Such concepts were basic guidelines in organizing the internal façade. The (Iwan) was the most important element due to its size and form which affect in shaping these facades. This is so important in achieving a local architecture with distinctive identity.

Research paper thumbnail of Batch Adsorption of Maxilon Red GRL from Aqueous Solution by Natural Sugarcane Stalks Powder

Different parameters affecting dye removal efficiency were studied. These parameters include contact time, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, pH, and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to the equilibrium data. The data fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm (). The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity () was found to be 20.96 mg/g at an initial pH of 7.2. The temperature variation study showed that dye adsorption is exothermic and spontaneous with increased randomness at the solid solution interface. The results indicated that sugarcane stalks could be an alternative for more costly adsorbents used for dye removal. The kinetic of the adsorption process followed the pseudo second-order kinetics model.

Research paper thumbnail of Truth in Modern Architecture A Study of the concept of Truth in Selected Works

This research explores the concept of (Truth) in Modern Architecture to clarify the items on which it is based and how it is produced in architectural artifacts. However, this study concludes that (Truth) is a relative concept and it is based on two types of items (conceptual and formal). These items and their related mechanisms are explored empirically in selected works from Modern Architecture. It is concluded that those items and mechanisms were varied regarding the clarity of occurrence and the mechanisms used to imply the concept of (Truth) the selected works
