Architecture at Salahaddin University - Erbil collaborated scientifically by participating in the
doctoral dissertation defense of her student, Honaz Majid Abdullah, under the supervision of Dr.
Mu'mal Alaa Al-Din, the primary supervisor. The dissertation, titled "The Impact of Urban
Spatial Plan on Land Value: An Approach System to Relating Space Syntax Premises to the
Land Price," was defended in front of a committee comprised of several faculty members from
different Iraqi universities' architecture departments. The defense lasted six hours and covered
important scientific aspects of the thesis. Following the discussion, the researcher was awarded a
Ph.D. degree with a very high distinction after making some minor revisions within a period not
exceeding one month.
This participation comes within the framework of concerted efforts to enhance scientific research
collaboration among Iraqi universities, aiming to benefit from research experience and exchange
research knowledge, methods, and rigorous scientific research approaches among researchers.

Spatial Activity in Shaping Identity
On Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, the doctoral dissertation defense was held in the Department of
Architecture for student Samaa Jumaa Al-Ali, entitled "Spatial Activity in Shaping Identity." The
dissertation addressed spatial organization deficiencies and their impact on identity in historical
areas, as well as the impact of social life evolution on the functions and local identity of old
buildings. The aim of the dissertation was to study the dynamics of spatial activity in shaping the
local identity for future architecture through virtual reality techniques for repurposing historical
buildings.
The research adopted a qualitative methodology, including observation, surveying,
questionnaires, and analysis of respondents' feedback from the study sample. The dissertation
concluded that local identity is formed and sustained through people's interaction with the place
through various activities, and that the use of augmented and virtual reality techniques can
significantly contribute to revitalizing identity and preserving the cultural and architectural
heritage of historical areas.
The examination committee consisted of:
Prof. Dr. Abbas Ali Hamza - Chairman
Prof. Dr.Abdullah Saadoun Salman - Member
Asst. Prof. Dr. Abdulhussain Abdulali - Member
Asst. Prof. Dr. Younis Mahmoud Mohammed - Member
Asst. Prof. Dr. Dargham Mazhar Kareem - Member
Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Jawad Kazem - Member and Supervisor
Prof. Dr. Saad Fawzi Taima - Member and Supervisor
Best wishes to the researcher and all our students in their postgraduate studies for success and
prosperity.

Eugenics: Envisioning the Architecture of the Future.
On Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, the doctoral dissertation defense was conducted in the Department
of Architecture for the doctoral candidate Wassan Maki Mohammed, titled "Eugenics:
Envisioning the Architecture of the Future." The dissertation explored the research approach
between cognitive sciences, presenting the cognitive blending between the fields of genetics in
the selection of genes in living organisms and the field of architecture to reach multiple futuristic
scenarios for prospective architecture. This was based on the concept of "Eugenics," which
involves the idea of selecting architectural genes suitable for inheritance into the architecture of
tomorrow, to achieve a virtuous city architecture. This was accomplished through extrapolating
the past to analyze the present and envisioning the future using the Future Wheel technique to
monitor the series of correlations between the phenomenon and its direct and indirect
relationships.
An external examiner from the Department of Architecture at the University of Bahrain,
Kingdom of Bahrain (Dr. Islam Hamdi Al-Ghanimi), was hosted remotely via an online platform
to discuss the research.
The examination committee consisted of:
Prof. Dr. Abdullah Saadoun Salman - Chairman
