The Student ((Zahraa Nassir Hussein Hadi Azzam Alhusseiny) at the Department of Architecture has been granted a master degree of architectural design on her thesis titled " Morphological Diversity and Recipient Memory: University Buildings Case Study”.
The discussion was held on Thursday , April 27, 2023 in the postgraduate study hall in the Department of Architectural Engineering at the University of Technology.
The study aims to emphasize the concept of morphology in architecture focusing on the process of morphology and classification of shapes study at both phenomenal and structural levels within their reflection on the user and recipient to interact with it and realize its forms, leaving mental images trace that remains entrenched in the memory.
The study found several levels of morphological diversity affecting the recipient's memory, including complexity at the level of formal relationships, morphological elements and characteristics, in particular the impact of structured complexity (coherence).
The research's main recommendation was to adopt morphological analysis of existing buildings and demonstrate their impact on the recipient and this so-called reverse engineering.
The discussion committee was headed by Prof.Dr.Abdullah Saadoun Salman ,University of Technology - Department of Architecture , and each of Assistant.Prof. Dr. Zainab Hussein Rauf -Department of Architecture - University of Technology, ,Assistant .Prof .Dr. Noufel Joseph Rizgou - University of Nahrin - Department of Architecture as members .
