STYLE
(LOCAL + SUSTAINABLE
ARCHITECTURE)

Local architecture
What’s Local Architecture?
Local or traditional means nor contemporary or
trendy.
Its usually timeless it doesn’t go out of style. the
idea of an architecture that responds to site, draws
on local building traditions, materials, and crafts.

Local Architecture
Local architecture- Iraq
Historical Background:
• until the 1950s there was no effort to study local architecture
• from the 1960s in this stage we find local architects increasing
their awareness and ability to learn from previous experiences
, and using their own architectural heritage as a learning
resource.
• from the 1970s tradition became an important issue as major
urban development.

Local Architecture
Elements of local architecture:
• Change of elements of organic architecture:
the function based on harmony between its
components, such as automatic, without
affectation or artificiality.
• Discrepancy between the surfaces and
openings
• Architectural expression of the three elements
of construction.
• Toning in arch
• Space integration
• Line of the external sector: shows the contrast
between the blocks
• Deal with climatic conditions.

Local Architecture
Factors that affect the concept of architectural forms:
1- Factors related to nation and belongings (people)
• Ideological factors: religious, scientific and political.
• Social factors
• Cultural factors
2- Factors related to local identity
of location (place)
• Climate factors
• Geographical factors
• Geological factor
• Historical factor
• Economic factor
• Technological

Local Architecture
Resources of local
architecture:
•Mesopotamian architecture
•Abbasid architecture
•Islamic architecture
•Kurdish architecture

Local Architecture
The local architects are divided into two groups
globally in general and in Iraq in specific:
• First group: follows the principles of International
architecture movements with little or no change
• Second group: mixing between local principles of design
and international movement ideas.
The second group in Iraq is divided into several levels
Two important examples are: Rifat Chadirji and Mohammad
Makiya. Also Hassan Fathy in Egypt.

Local Architecture
1. Rifat Chadirji
Chadirji’s efforts to ﬁnd a local modern
architecture developed through several
steps.
• His early projects in the 1950s reﬂected
strongly Western art and international
architecture (Chadirji, 1985).
• His search rediscovering the Islamic and
cultural heritage of Iraq.

Local Architecture
1. Rifat Chadirji
• His goal was the internationalization of traditional architectural
concepts with the liberating design principles of modern
architectural movements and the use of updated building
technology.
• His conclusion was Iraq should have its own architecture that
was an outcome between local technology, social needs and
heritage.
• His projects Tobacco Monopolies Administration, 1965 and
Central Post Ofﬁce, 1975.

Local Architecture
2. Mohammad Makiya
• Makiya depended on reusing the traditional design elements
in new buildings and is often referred to as an Islamic
architect.
• His method was based on using brick in association with
concrete to reﬂect local identity.
• His projects Foreign
Ministry of 1967 which
has elements
inﬂuenced by Western
architecture,
particularly Boston
City Hall, Khulafa
Mosque in the centre
of Baghdad.

Local Architecture
Local architecture- Kurdistan
•During the whole 20th century, this region hadn’t
experienced any effort to develop studies about the
local Kurdish traditional architecture and how to
develop modern local architecture.
•The schools of architecture and official development
plans were all influenced by or based on the Iraqi
architectural style which was developed by the new
architects in Baghdad.

Local Architecture
Kurdish traditional architecture an be classified into
three basic categories according to their:
1.Location
2.towns(shar)
3.villages(gund)
4.nomadic.

Local Architecture
Past Kurdish local identity : Citadel of Erbil
Its one of the oldest urban sites in the world continuously settled
for some 6000 years and has witnessed the rise and fall of major
ancient and Islamic cultures.
Consisted of two major
settlements:
1.On the hill: Was divided into 3
residential areas
2. Down in the valley beside the
hill
• At this stage most of the local
traditional architecture has
been neglected this happened
until 1950s.

Local Architecture
Present Kurdish Local Architectural Identity: Erbil
• after the collapse of Saddam Hussein in 2003 changes were introduced in all
aspects. Architects and schools of architecture couldn’t manage till now to
benefit from this historical change in the iraqi history that can support
building modern local national architectural identity.

Local Architecture
Now Kurdish Local Architectural Identity: Erbil
Several types of architectural applications in the region:
1.The rehabilitation of oil historical sites such as: citadel of Erbil.
2.Demolishing some of the buildings in the cities to build new buildings and
spaces using traditional architectural design patterns and building materials for
example: building around the Citadel of Erbil.

Local Architecture
Now Kurdish Local
Architectural Identity:
Commercial area besides the Bazaar
during 1980s
The same place after demolishing and building again.

Local Architecture
Characteristics of local architecture:
1. Using locally available construction materials.
2. Adaptability of the building according to the social life style.
3. Using physical heritage of nation.
4. Using ornaments and elements from different period of history.

SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE:
Sustainable architecture is architecture
that seeks to minimize the negative
environmental impact of buildings by
efficiency and moderation in the use of
materials, energy, and development
space.
Sustainability: Meeting the needs of the
present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own
needs.

Economy of Resources
•Energy Conservation
•Water Conservation
•Materials Conservation
Life Cycle Design
•Pre-Building Phase
•Building Phase
•Post-Building Phase
Humane Design
•Preservation for Natural Conditions
•Urban Design and Site Planning
• Design for Human Comfort
METHODS FOR ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE
DESIGN:

1. Green roof:
• A green roof can lower the temperature in your
house
2. Solar shingles:
• Solar panels are an excellent way to save energy and
reduce energy
bills.
• Solar shingles are a bit pricier to install than traditional
solar panels, since they not only help power the
building, but they're actually roof shingles.
3. Cob houses:
• Cob is an ancient building material that's a mixture
very similar to clay, what makes cob houses unique
and beautiful is the organic shape.
ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE:

Conclusion
• Local deals with local and traditional materials and construction
methods.
• Iraqi architects deal with international movements.
• Iraqi architects mixed between local and international
movements
• Nowadays in Kurdistan local architecture is bout rehabilitation of
historical sites or demolishing an rebuilding according to
Kurdistan’s local architecture.
• Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize
the negative environmental impact of buildings.

URBAN DESIGN
KEVIN LYNCH URBAN DESIGN ELEMENTS
SPATIAL ORGANIZATION SYSTEM

WHAT IS URBAN DESIGN?
• Urban design is concerned with the arrangement,
appearance and function of our suburbs, towns and
cities.
• It is both a process and an outcome of creating
localities in which people live, engage with each other,
and engage with the physical place around
them.
• It involves the design and coordination of all that makes
up cities and towns.

ELEMENTSOF URBAN DESIGN
BUILDINS:
• Buildings are the most pronounced elements of urban
design.
• they shape and articulate space by forming
the street walls of the city
• Well-designed buildings and groups of buildings work
together to create a sense of place.

PUBLIC SPACES:
• Great public spaces are the living room of the city - the
place where people come together to enjoy the city and
each other.
• Public spaces range from grand central plazas and
squares, to small, local neighborhood parks.

Typesof urban space:
1. Public space:Public spacerefers to
urban spacewhich is easily accessible to
the general public at any time of day or
night .
( Example: Streets)
2. Semi-public space: is a type of
space in which the access is limited
Example the small park in the middle
of Urban square, which could be
closed in some hours.
Public space
Semi-public and public spaces

Types of urban space:
3. Semi-private space:Asemi-private
spaceis apiece of the urban environment
that tends to be private and which a
member of the general public will only
enter if they have areason to.
Example: front garden or yard.
4. Private space:The final space is
exclusively for the use of the residents of
a property.
Outdoorprivate spaces form gardens,
sometimes roof gardens or balconies
serve an identical purpose
Semi-private rear courtyard
Privatespaces

STREETS:
• These are the connections between spaces and places,
as well as being spaces themselves.
• The pattern of the street network is partof what defines
a city and what makes each city unique.

TRANSPORT:
• Transport systems connect the parts of cities and help
shape them, and enable movement throughout the city.
• They include road, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian networks,
and together form the total movement system of a city.

LANDSCAPE:
• It is the green part of the city that weaves throughout,
in the form of urban parks, street trees, plants, flowers,
and water in many forms.
• The landscape helps define the character and beauty of
a city and creates soft, contrastin

ELEMENTS OF URBAN DESIGN
Proposal
Building : arch ,dome , volume , ornaments ,patterns , on
elevations .
Public spaces : main central public zone with some semi public
spaces inside each zone , using of courtyard inside the building with
green areas and water resources as fountain .

Proposal
street : narrow and zigzag streets .
transport: in our site we have rail way , main roads and secondary
roads . Inside our site we will try to use public transport such as
(cycle ,bus , train.. ) witch is reduce Carbone emission .

Kevin Lynch found that there are five basic elements which people
use to construct their mental image of a city:
• Pathways
• Districts
• Edges
• Landmarks
• Nodes

Paths are the channels along which the observer moves. They
may be streets, walkways, transit lines, canals, railroads.
-Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City.

Edges are the linear elements not used as paths by the observer.
They are the boundaries and linear breaks in continuity: shores,
railroad cuts, edges of development, walls.
-Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City.

Districts are the medium-to-large sections of the city which the
observer mentally enters "inside of," and which are recognizable
as having some common, identifying character.
- Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City

Nodes are points, the strategic spots in a city into which an
observer can enter, and which are the intensive foci to and
from which he is traveling.
They may be primarily junctions or concentrations.
- Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City

Landmarks are another type of point-reference, but in this
case the observer does not enter within them, they are
external. They are usually a rather simply defined physical
object: building, sign, store, or mountain.
- Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City.

Good City Form (Kevin Lynch 1959,
Image of the City)
Proposal
Pathway : for example :non organized pathways, pathways with local
materials and ornaments..etc.
District : non organized district because of non organized
streets.

Good City Form (Kevin Lynch 1959,
Image of the City)
Proposal
Landmark : sometime we have more than one landmark in site . for example
(minaret , gates , building…etc..we will try to use landmark materials with local
materials , ornaments ..etc..
Nodes: The intersection point which is made of winding paths,
provide a visual impact.

Erbil Citadel
Introduction:
• The Citadel of Erbil has evidence of many millennia of habitation, making
it one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the world. The Citadel
takes up an area of 10.2 hectares, It rises 28-32 m above the
surrounding city, with successive layers of settlements: Assyrian,
Akkadian, Babylonian, Persian and Greek.
• Therefore it becomes an iconic landmark and is regarded as the Crown
of Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan Region/ Iraq.
• The Citadel town which consists of traditional courtyard houses and few
public buildings which are reached through a labyrinth of narrow
alleyways is surrounded with contiguous houses that generate its fortified
look perimeter wall

Erbil Citadel
Location:
• The Erbil Citadel, locally called Qalat
Erbil is a tell or occupied mound,
and the historical city center of Erbil
in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
• The citadel has been inscribed on
the World Heritage List since 21
June 2014.

Architectural Features:

Erbil Citadel
 Windows
Most citadel houses were inward-lookingand, therefore, had few or no external
windows. Windowswere usually small by today's standards- often no more than
50-70 centimeters wide and about 1.2 meters high- and obtained daylight from the
courtyard. They were usually made of wood and often designed with either semi-
circular or segmental tops and nearly always covered by wrought-iron screens.
Windows of important rooms were usually framed with stone or marble and had
elaborate screens and sometimes provided with colored glass.

typical spiral
motif found in
many parts of
Iraq, or with

eaves.These eaves,which projectedsome60 centimetersor moreover the
courtyard,were usuallyconstructedof woodanddecoratedin brightcolors.Their
sole functionwasto createa verypleasingframing effectfor the courtyard.

Erbil Citadel
 Door
• Doors came in two types- Main entrance doors
and internal doors. The main entrance door,
which was part of a larger gateway design, was
usually made of thick solid wood for extra security
and often studded with iron nails.
• They came with elaborate wooden or iron locks
that requiredbig keys often more than 20
centimeters long
• Internal doors of important rooms were usually
framed in stone or marble, made of fine solid teak
wood, and came in two pieces. They were often
decorated with rich carved floral patterns and
sometimes even inlaid with mother-of-pearl
frames. Other rooms had simpler doors and many
small functional space s were left with no doors-
just openings for entry.

Erbil Citadel
Architectural Features: Door
 Door
These small windows at
the top of the walls is
widely used in those old
house construction
,those windows are
used for ventilation and
to escape the hot from
the house in summer
times.

Erbil Citadel
 Arches
The different types of arches found at the
citadel are as follows:
1.Round Arch: is a semi-circular arch which was
employed commonly for arcades, windows, and
niches
2.Pointed Arch: is the typical arch used in Islamic
architecture. It was employed in the demolished
South Gate of the citadel
3.Segmental Arch: is a segment of a circle and
was used for windows, doors, and niches.
4.Composite Arches: Thereare so many
variations and combinationsof arches that make
it quite difficult to have them classified in any
coherent system.

Erbil Citadel
 Materials
• The perimeter wall of the citadel is not a continuous fortification wall, but
consists of the façades of approximately 100 houses that have been built
against each other.
• Because they have been built on or near the steep slope of the citadel
mound, many of these façades were strengthened by buttresses to
prevent their collapse or subsidence
• Some details, such as the round
stone arches, marble facing of some
courtyard walls, and some door
details, were probably built by
masons from Mosul. Even some
painted decorations, such as the
typical cobalt-blue of Mosul are
often found on walls of houses here

Design and its impact:
• integrating traditional Arabic architectural techniques with modern
building technologies.
• Masdar City is designed to capture prevailing winds and offer
about 10 degrees naturally cooler outdoor public spaces than
those found elsewhere in Abu Dhabi.
• the buildings consume 40% less energy and water.
• Masdar City is in part powered by clean energy generated from a
10 MW solar power plant on site and 1MW solar rooftop system.
Harnessing the sun’s rays, the plant produces 17,500MWh of
clean electricity annually and diverts 7,350 tones of carbon
emissions per year.
• Each building in Masdar City is constructed with low-carbon
cement, utilizes aluminum that is 90% drawn from recycled
sources

Conclusions:
• The result of this city looks like Disneyland Mr. foster
acknowledged: Disneyland is attractive because all the services is
below ground, we do the same here-its literary a walled city,
traditional cars are stopped at the edges.
• Throughout this case we came to realize through using local
materials and element the place gets its own identity that can’t be
copied else where in the world.
• Traditional architecture used local and basic design principles
unconsciously to solve the environmental problems.
• Using traditional elements and mixing theme with new technologies
can result in preserving the environment and traditional methods.

NEW TOWN MASTER PLAN &
URBAN DESIGN IN DUBAILocation: Dubai - United Arab Emirates
Project Work Status: Completed
Projects
Client: PrivateConcept of the project :
The design was successful from among a formidable list of participants, as it was rooted
to “indo centric” values of city development and based on providing a “holistically
sustainable” lifestyle to promote the health, culture and all round wellbeing of its residents.

The master plan of the project
The Master planning exercise included SHILPA’s unique approach
of Indo-Centric Sustainability that incorporates Indian Design
Philosophies and Design to provide an environment that is not only
energy efficient and sustainable but also aspires to be a model
community from the aspect of Socio-Economic Sustainability
“The plan illustrates the main message of “Creative Diversity”:
its commitment to pluralism, respect of internationally
recognizable principles of conduct, promotion of cultural
diversity as a source of creativity, participation and
empowerment of oppressed minorities or groups, and so forth. It
highlights Indian crafts and ornamentation styles, is visible,
ubiquitous and unobtrusive, and draws inspiration from all that is
wholesome and beautiful. Above all, it speaks for the region, and
in the same breath is embraced without inhibitions by all.

together with discernible centers
The two landmarks of the Master Plan, The Multi Faith
Center and Multi Purpose Hall are located in different nodes, and
are clubbed with other robust programming such as the malls,
District Parks and Commercial areas. This strategy allows for the
creation of two distinct Urban Nodes for each parcel. The North
serves as the HARMONY node while the one on the South
becomes the CELEBRATION node

The story of the Indian fabric weaves into the concepts for the
project from one area to the other. The motifs, ornamentations,
colors, textures and weaves are expressed in different forms
(maps, signage, sun shade, boats, etc), to be seen, felt and
experienced. The motifs and the prints are temporal and
changed cyclically.

Conclusion:
• Residential zones is in between the commercial and health zone, its
place har some sharp topography which is needed in most residential
zones. Based on similar examples.
• Commercial zone is next to the main street because it constantly get
deliveries and its traffic is crowded all the time.
• Entertaining zone is next to the main street on top where the
topography is sharp so that the zone becomes a landmark when looked
at from distance.
• Media zone is between entertainment zone and administration zone
because its a mix between the two and they are connected.
• Media zone is located on a slope because this zone needs view.
• Health zone is at the bottom because it doesn’t contain emergency
hospitals or departments.
