2025 The impact of socio-cultural transformation on architecture in Iraq from 1822-1958 AIP Conference Proceedings
This paper focuses on the study of internal Iraqi contextual forces, whether cultural or social and their impact on Iraqi architecture during the period (1822-1958), during which local Iraqi architecture witnessed radical and decisive changes. In addition, this period is punctuated by rapid technological developments, globalization and internal changes in society, which are some other key issues that deeply affect the way the world is perceived. Each of these issues has social and cultural implications related in one way or another to architecture, especially in the identification of local architecture. It is worth noting that Iraqi architecture has kept pace with these rapid changes and developments and had an impact on its local identity during this period, but the full knowledge about these contexts and the clarity of their impact has not been covered or provided, so this paper aims to fill the lack of knowledge about the social and cultural contextual forces to provide a knowledge base that would be a base or previous experience that can be used nowadays to deal with the contextual forces that we are currently experiencing. Therefore, this research reviews the impact of socio-cultural transformation and the extent of its implications on the local architecture in Iraq during the period (1822-1958). The research reached the most important conclusions that show the emergence of cultural signs and developments in the fields of education, and art was a rich wealth of inspiration for the architects of that period to be influenced and interact with it to present distinctive Iraqi architecture
