A Research on Planning Guidelines for Iraq Apartment Units Based on the Application of Christopher Alexander's Pattern Language

The purpose of this study is to design guidelines for architects who are planning apartments in Iraq. These guidelines have been built based on the 'Pattern Language'. , published by Christopher Alexander, contains 253 solutions or design patterns that recur in architecture. These patterns contain useful connective information which can be selected, modified, and combined to complete an actual design. Alexander's 'Pattern Language' is a result of the search for a systematic design method. Patterns that can be applied to apartment unit planning have been selected in this research. In order to apply cultural elements to planning guidelines, traditional and modern housing cultures and spatial structure of housings in Iraq have been researched. Results from cultural studies were used to modify the selected pattern in order to build the 'Pattern Language of Iraq Apartment Units'. Based on this pattern language, planning guidelines for Iraq apartment units have been designed. These guidelines are expected to be used as a reference for architects that are planning apartments in Iraq.
