Abstract:
يتناول البحث اشكالية معرفية عامة طالما طرحت نفسها افتراضا نظريا قائما في مسيرة الفكر الانساني بشكل عام والمعماري منه على وجه الخصوص , الا وهي العلاقة بين العمارة والمجتمع , وفي خضم واقع عراقي معاصر كثيرا ما نسمع عن مشاكله او ازماته وعلى كافة الاصعدة ا | Research deals with a general epistemic issue has always been set as a theoretical assumption in the march of the human thought in general and most notably in the architectural theory, that is the relationship between the architecture and society. And in related to the Iraqi situation, we often hear about its problems on all cultural levels including both social and architectural levels, the research comes as an attempt to retrace the course of the Iraqi architecture within the twentieth century by describing and analyzing the cultural and social changes in Iraq at that century according to the general theoretical frameworks in which the previous assumption is based on. The research consists of four main chapters in addition to the introduction and the conclusions. At its first chapter, the research considers exploring the general theoretical frameworks for the relationship between architecture and society through reviewing a collection of related literatures and theses to mark its problem which represented by " the insufficiency of the available theoretical knowledge for representing inclusive theoretical framework to include the relationship between architecture and society with the special capacity for both concepts ". Therefore the aim of the research determined by making such theoretical framework and then applying it on the path of the Iraqi architecture at the twentieth century trying to extrapolate it socially, in other words " study in the compatible relationship between the path of Iraqi architecture and its changes, and the changes of the Iraqi social reality within the twentieth century ". Based on that, the research on its second chapter considers defining the concept of society and what this concept include of sub concepts and of the interfering concepts most notably culture and personality which they represent in addition to the society three logically distinct actually overlapping patterns for the human social act, which is mostly performed in three general types. This chapter also deals with the concept of the social change and its relevance to the cultural change as a sort of harmonic changes. The third chapter was devoted to explore the indications of the relationship between the architecture and society by assuming the architecture as a social act subjects to three phases which are (the traditional phase, the rational phase including scientific rationality and value rationality and the emotional phase). And as a social phenomenon, it's available socially at four levels as (the physical level, the functional level, the communicational level and the ideological level) showing that each of these levels has its vocabulary and indications in which to measure the mentioned phases of actions. Whilst the fourth chapter contains a description and analysis for the Iraqi cultural and social changes which has been as a base to divide the 20th century historically into three culturally distinctive periods as (the first period 1900 - 1945 and its general feature is the cultural duality between continuing the local traditions and the trend of simulating the other, the second period 1945 - 1980 and its general feature is the rotional conflict of concepts between modernization and keeping heritage as two samples for rationality, and the third period 1980 - 2003 and its general feature is the emotivity of cultural experimentation to restore the lost ego). So that the research marks the three phases of architectural act at these three periods as the following : - 1 - The traditional phase : - represented by the first period and its architectural act which is featured with the duality of the local traditions and the classical traditions.2 - The rational phase : - represented by second period which varies between scientific modernization and heritage valuation as two opposite types for rationality in architecture.3 - The emotional phase : - represented by the architectural act for the third period and what it included of variable architectural experimentation which was mostly flavoured with selectivity and plurality Then the research ends up with a number of conclusions and general recommendations.
