1832. Abu Tha`labah Al-Khushani (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allah(PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has laid down certain duties which you should not
neglect, and has put certain limits which you should not transgress, and has kept silent
about other matters out of mercy for you and not out of forgetfulness, so do not seek to
investigate them.''
[Ad-Daraqutni and others]
According to Imam As-Sam`ani, this Hadith is very important, as the details of important
things have been given here. Whosoever leads his life accordingly, will surely succeed in
this life and the Hereafter.

Islamic typology : meaning study the types and
symbols of islamic
5. 1. Arche types of the spatial organizations and historical developments
Archetype: meaning imagination and visual for aggregation
It are the original types that product architecture by linking everything to the
nature, like a mountains , caves, huts , etc….
mountain hut built from wood and with sharply and sloping roof,
house or cottage were built in the same style.

1- Ching study: architecture: Form,space & order
And (ching ) believes that architecture consist of a set of spaces that are
associated with each other to achieve the purpose of function, convergence
of proximity , or be used as circulation paths , and these spaces can be
classified in to four groups : (ching 1979,p.194
2- Rob krier divided these types to seven types
a- central axial type
b- linear type
c- central linear over lap type
d- bracketing type
e- network type

g- labyrinth type
A- Central type
B- Linear type
C- Radial type

The principles of the Islamic faith
Monotheism (Pantheism)
the polytheism was the religion of the ancient people
and they believe in the conflict among the gods.
After that, the islam came to change the life and these wrong beliefs.
Islam is one of the ancient monotheistic religions,
the islam brought monotheism the god in the world (the god is one only) .
monotheism is belief in one God rather than many .
This monotheism , this religion of the one, of course has universal appeal.
The unequivocal monotheism of Islam served to unite all.
allah is the sole god in the cosmos.
by the way, islam is a belief in a Supreme Being - a monotheist god or absolute reality.
ءْيَش ُِلك ُّبَر َوُهَو اًّبَر يِغْبَأ ِ ه
اَّلل َْريَغَأ ْلُق
164) Say, "Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things?
the islamic architecture reflected the principle of monotheism
by using the concept of abstraction (divestiture) in the islamic art and architecture
so it is not similar to other architecture styles, like a Christianity architecture, roman , etc.
the monotheism is the original of abstraction and the basic that creat the unity in the islamic city,
islamic architecture
تعالى قال ( الحج
32 ) : { القلوب تقوى من فإنها هللا شعائر يعظم ومن }
"And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart".

Equilibrium (balance)
Human psychology is comfort with the equilibrium (balance)
the balance between the Absolute human bondage and the High status to humans
the balance between Absolute divine will and human will, Ltd.
balance between Sources of revelation which is unseen and Occult with The sources of knowledge
which is the universe and life
the human is in balance situation in the shape from outside,balance in function from inside , and
every thing in this univers (symmetric) .
سورة Sura الحديد Al-Hadid 25
ِطْسِقْلاِب ُاسهنال َموُقَيِل َانَيزِمْلاَو َابَتِكْلا ُمُهَعَم اَنْلَنزَأَو
and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in
justice.
سورة Sura الحجر Al-Hijr 19
ونُز ْوهم ءْيَش ُِلك نِم اَهيِف اَنْتَبنَأَو
(
19 )
and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
سورة Sura البقرة Al-Baqara 143
اًطَسَو ًةهمُأ ْمُكاَنْلَعَج َكِلََٰذَكَو
And thus we have made you a just community
The balance produce the symmetry concept in one axis and two axises
12. Straightness ()االستقامة
allah command the people to take straightness, the way to god is the straightness.
allah said "(مستقيم صراط ")وهذا. mean ( and this is a Straight Path ), this was mentioned in the 33
aya(texts) in the Koran
Guide us to the straight path -
a muslim ask god to guide him straight path (straight way) no less than seventeen times a day (and
that when he reading alfatyeh in prayer)
and god said (سبيله عن بكم فتفرق السبل والتتبعوا فاتبعوه مستقيم صراطي هذا )وان
ۚ اًفيِنَح َميِهاَْربِإ َةهلِم اًمَيِق اًنِيد يمِقَتْسُّم اطَر ِ

ْرش (161)
(161) Say, "Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path - a correct religion - the way of Abraham,
inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah.“
straight Path is a bridge that will appear in the doomsday (Day of Judgment ) and be above hell.
The straight path is leading to all duties in belief and morality and slavery
after all these verses and saying, the concept of straightness be in the visual of islamic architecture ,
then it impact in the spatial organization
These ideas and concepts when they settle in the muslim mind then it be cram, and be like a rule,
basic, etc ,,,,.
taking the balance of things
become automatically emit awareness or collective unconscious when Muslims
generally reflecting it on their production style , including architecture and artistic expression
And thus led to the integrity(straightness) commitment to religion ,
and the use of the straight line and regular shapes to expression
that designed regular buildings from straights ribs
13. Regularity within the community (group)
Unity and pluralism
many Tribes, clans and nationalities embraced in the islam
islam be their religion and style life
every group (ethnic) of people have mores and traditional in the life,
The islam stay the good manners that Compatible with the principles of the religion.
that led to produce a new concept is called (variety in unity), it is one of properties of islamic
architecture and in the Islamic society

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The relationship
of the believer with another believer is like (the bricks of) a building, each strengthens the other.''
He (PBUH) illustrated this by interlacing the fingers of both his hands.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith enjoins unity in the Muslim community, each member of which is like a brick,
which, when they are all combined, lend strength to each other. Similarly, Muslims are like hands and
arms, which physically joined together, are bound to co-operate with one another

224. Nu`man bin Bashir (May Allah bepleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of
the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith has the same purport which is mentioned in the previous Hadith. It says that
Muslims are akin to a living person. When he feels pain in one of his eyes, for example, his entire body
feels it. When he suffers from a headache, he feels its pain throughout his body

their husbands,

Architectural character are divided in to:-

In Architecture exist five types of Spatial Organization:
Central Organization: this consists of numerous secondary spaces that are clustered around a
central, dominant and bigger space.
Linear Organization: It consists essentially of a series of spaces through a linear element.
Can be a straight, segmented or curve line and it can develop itself horizontally, vertically or
diagonally.
The linear organization can relate itself with other forms of its context connecting them,
working as a barrier to separate things and surrounding them to create a space field
27. Here comes your footer Page 27
Radial Organization: this space organization combines the central and the linear organization
to organize the space.
It consists of a dominant central space, with many radial linear organizations.
While a centralized organization is an introverted scheme that directs to the interior of its
central space, a radial organization is an extrovert scheme that escapes from its context.
The central space of a radial organization has a regular form.
Cluster Organization: use proximity to connect spaces.
Plot Organization(Grid): this organization is make it through the construction elements such as
walls and columns.
28. Here comes your footer Page 28
In interior design exist five types of Spatial Organization:
linear organization can create a rhythm in a space and can help to make the space feel
stable and organized.
Much like in the images below.
There are strong linear elements throughout the space so as a user walks through the
space they get a sense of repetition and order.
29. Here comes your footer Page 29
Radial Organization
Another way in which a designer can organize spaces is through radial organization.
Radial organization is to some extent a mixture of both centralized and linear organization.
You can expect to see elements stem from one central element of focus.
The images below are a good example of this because the lighting fixture is radial in itself and
then elements on the floor plane follow that same radial pattern.
30. Here comes your footer Page 30
Grid Organization
The final form of organization I decided to analyze for this chapter was grid organization.
There are times when designers rely on making a grid to organize elements in their work.
Sometimes, the organization of a grid can be easily interpreted visually.
Such as in the images below where the grid obviously plays a big role in the concept of this
space.
31. Here comes your footer Page 31
Spatial organization properties
Spaces must:
1. Have specific functions or require specific forms
2. Are flexible in use and can be freely manipulated
3. Are singular and unique in their function or significance to the building
organization
4. Have similar functions and can be grouped into a functional cluster or
repeated in a linear sequence
5. Required exterior exposure for light, ventilation, view or access to
outdoor spaces
6. Must be segregated for privacy
7. Must be easily accessible
how we can choose which type that suitable in the design ?
All the literature in architecture confirmed that the intuition is the style which
used to reach the solution and choose appropriate style .
(karal poper) said that "the science cannot develop without the intuition."
question

1. Space Within a Space:
There are several different ways spaces can relate to each other, and a very common
spatial relationship is the space within a space.
We see this sort of relationship in offices most commonly, where cubicles make up the
spaces with in the greater volume of space.
The relationship between the space within the space is one where the smaller space is
dependent on the larger for its perceived place within the greater volume.
The image below is a great example of a space within a space.
This one has a very strong relationship with the greater volume, as it serves to define the
spaces around it.
Furthermore, the space within the space then creates a space within itself, as you see here!
Spatial Relationships in interior design (seeds for design)
33. This image specifically analyzes a space within another space.
There is a small organic pod within a bigger room that can be open to be a part of the larger
space or closed to create a more personal shelter.
34. Here comes your footer Page 34
2. Interlocking Spaces:
Interlocking spaces have a especially unique relationship as they become apart of each
other in a way.
These spaces interlock and create continuity through proximity.
These interlocking spaces have the flexibility to be interpreted in a number of different
manners.
That is why they are so interesting!
This image is an awesome example of interlocking spaces.
This house has many different spaces that interlock with each other, creating interest and
continuity.
It is interesting to see the way each space retains its own volume but adds a new and
unique component to the space it has now interlocked with.
35. Here comes your footer Page 35
The images below depict a small space placed on top of another space all interlocked with a
larger space.
This is beneficial when a designer only has a certain amount of space to use, but wants to
make use of every inch in a functional manner.
36. Here comes your footer Page 36
3. Spaces Linked by a Common Space:
This is an interesting relationship in that the space linking the common spaces is greatly
relied upon for the interpretation of all of the linked spaces.
This sort of space can also be looked at as a focal point.
The spaces that share this common focal point of connection also have unique relationships
with each other.
This image is a great example of spaces linked by a common space.
You see the home has to similar yet unique wings, or modules that make up the entirety of
the home.
Yet, if it were not for the third space in the center, the two unique parts of the whole would
become separate and unconnected.
37. Here comes your footer Page 37
from the study in the architecture , we can confirme that function and technique are not the
basic in determining the type, because it being added or transformed in the type
the historical types,the central, longitudinal and the resulting merged not designed to serve
practical functions, but serve deep problems that associated with the community,
so it is basic and stabile, but the type allows for change
The ideological foundations also have fixed rules and allow for change
and this is that gives the character of the building at all times and places, also allows the
historical types to develop continuously and produce many types
the type is fixed and it is linked with mind ,emotions, holds social values linked to the human
and society and mental development and the experience
But the form of specialized type varies from one community to another
thereby acting dialectically with the function ,technique ,style and personal character and
individuality of each building and every architect.
Stability and change
38. Here comes your footer Page 38
the idea of the relay and the constant change of models in historical architecture are applies
on this type,
and in every period happens process model shift which happen in sequence continuous to
this time
The process of change is influenced by external factors(general criticism) like social and
intellectual changes , technical and cultural
The society in general could lead to specific channels.

furniture
1- furniture arrangement by Chinese philosophical system
The study room is a place where family members study for college or school examinations
therefore the room needs a lot of positive energies .
for the study room in order to improve concentration and productivity, there are several things
that you need to keep in mind:
How to Organize Study Room (according to Feng Shui )
•The person who sit on the study desk should face his or her auspicious direction.
•The position of the desk is crucial, place your desk in ‘commanding position’ – in such a way
that the door is visible to the person sitting at the desk.
•This will give the person a sense of security because he or she can see everyone who
passes by or enters the room.
•Make sure also that the person’s back is not facing the door or window.
40. Here comes your footer Page 40
The desk in the study room should be placed towards the right of the window.
But if there is no window then hang a mirror to the left of the desk.
Do not place the study desk between the window and the door.

•Sitting opposite the window of the neighbouring house is not recommended as it causes
discomfort.
Sitting right in front of the window can make you lose concentration and therefore is not
recommended.
•The chair should be comfortable and have a high back.
Behind the chair, you can place a picture that is a symbolic of water to increase the flow of
creative energy.
Avoid placing the desk under the exposed beams or a protruding air conditioner.
•Make sure your study room is free from clutters.
Cluttered room makes positive chi difficult to come in.
Studying in an untidy room can be distracting, so do make sure that your room is clean and
calm.
•Ideally, study room should be situated in a quiet part of your home.
If study areas form part of another room such as bedroom, living room or kitchen, then you can
separate them with a screen or folding doors so that the two opposing energies do not mix.
It is not a good idea to have your study area in the bedroom.

•Remove any sharp or piercing shape of objects (including pictures, paintings and statues)
that is pointing towards the person sitting at the study desk.
Sharp objects create poison arrows which is harmful.
•Many people place a bamboo or cactus plant in their study room because these plants
symbolize good fortune and can grow in harsh conditions.
Plants in the study also help to improve the air quality and add some yin balance to the yang
machines (such as computer or handphone).
Some of them place the plant orwind chime near the window to prevent bad influences and
bad luck from coming in through the window.

Feng shui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding
environment.
The term feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English.
Feng shui is one of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified as physiognomy (observation of appearances
through formulas and calculations).
The feng shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of "invisible forces" that bind the universe,
earth, and man together, known as qi/chi/energy.
Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs,
but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner.
Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to
local features such as bodies of water, stars, or a compass. Feng shui was suppressed in mainland China during
the cultural revolution in the 1960s, but since then has increased in popularity.
Modern reactions to feng shui are mixed.
some principles of feng shui are "quite rational".

4. Centralized Organization:
Centralized organization is one that we have seen from the beginning of architecture. We see
this sort of organization occur in its best form and example in many plans of churches.
Often they will have this central organization either in the interior or represented in a dome on
the exterior.
This image of the Pantheons plan could not exemplify centralized organization better.
All of the parts are organized around the center of the large dome.
This sort of organization is seen in many similar buildings for the sense of unity felt within the
space created by the central organization or the visual feeling one would receive from viewing
such a structure from the exterior.

5. Linear Organization:
This form of spatial organization is very interesting in that it provides a great deal of visual
continuity throughout the organization of elements in this manner.
Spaces in a series can be linked in a couple of ways when organized with linear organization.
They can either be directly related to each other, or organized a long the same linear space.
This example of the columns and statues is a prime example of linear organization.
We see the relationship of the spaces and elements in the way they are organized a long the
same linear space.
Furthermore, there is a wonderful sense of continuity that is created through the placement of
these elements and their organization.
