The Department of Architecture at the University of Technology has been given the Master's of degree for postgraduate a student “ Shahad Raad Hameed “  about th thesis entitled  ((  Astonishing Structural structures in contemporary Architecture ))

 That held at the discussion hall of department , the searcher have been focused  ( Lack of studies that raise the relationship between the structural structure and dazzling character in architecture) After discussing a number of architectural and non-architectural studies Which showed that the excellence of architecture is linked to the sources and mechanisms of innovation in the shape from the acquisition of the structural system to a Non-traditional form that change the structural system from a Pure Structural construction system Based only on the physical aspects and mathematical operation to a system of art that translate the level of intellectual innovation of the designer But there is no clear study deals with Formal generation formulas for dazzling construction structures and from it the research problem emerged which is (Lack of comprehensive studies of the strategies and mechanisms and the elements of generating structures of dazzling origin in contemporary architecture) and The target is determined By (constructing a theoretical framework describing the generation forms formula of dazzling construction structures in contemporary architecture ) .

The searcher have been focused (The need for a comprehensive knowledge framework to manage the dimensions (economic, social and urban) affecting the activation of urban cultural spaces locally (Urban, Economic and Social) . The research was based on a basic hypothesis that: "Cultural space is activated through the management of effective indicators for both urban and remote dimensions. Economic and social dimension), " This is within the methodology of the research prepared in the extraction of indicators for the management of dimensions (urban, social, economic) affecting the activation of the urban cultural space and extract the most important indicators for the management of each dimension, and study and extract solutions from global experiences to clarify their impact on the activation of cultural spaces and the most important strategies This process is applied in the application of measurement in the practical study of the selected area, namely the area of ((Mutanabi Street and cultural spaces in the surrounding area within the center of the old Rusafa))

The Department of Architecture at the University of Technology has been given the Master's of degree for postgraduate a student “  Asmaa Omar Basheer  “  about the thesis entitled  (( Livable neighborhoods Study of Pedestrian Friendly Environment Vitality  which has held at the discussion hall of department .

The searcher has been focused of studying the vital and pedestrian friendly environment, but an issue emerged that there is (a gap about vitality of the pedestrian friendly environment in livable neighborhoods). So the thesis focused on pinning the important strategies, treatments and characteristics that included (designing pedestrian walking paths, increasing housing populations, energizing existing neighborhoods, diverse use, increasing housing choices, the sense of neighborhoods, increasing social interactions, increasing the neighborhood quality). And knowing how impactful it is to the livable neighborhood.

Research hypothesis (The pedestrian friendly environment vitality is achieved through a set of strategies, treatments and characteristics) .

The Student (Rasha Nuri Abbas)  at the Department of Architecture has been granted M.Sc. degree on her thesis titled “Flexibility in the Design of Operation Room: Local Hospitals- Study Case "

The study focuses on surgical spaces because it represents the core of the building of  hospitals, both "economically" and "technically" in which scientific progress and technological development require space to space to embody innovations in integrated surgical performance aiming at saving humanity.

According  to  the establishment of legislative laws , strict considerations of surgical spaces and permanent change in scientific progress in the field  of surgery,

the concept of flexibility is an essential requirement in the design of contemporary surgical spaces is  the importance of change in order to keep update of that development, which makes the concept of flexibility a "fundamental" requirement in the design of contemporary surgical spaces.

Where the research formulated its research problem as "lack of knowledge” regarding the basic vocabulary and indicators to achieve flexibility in the design system of the pavilion and surgical space designed according to modern international standards, and the  mechanisms  by  applying   those words within the development of local society."

The theoretical framework consisted of four main items: the main indicators in in achieving  the flexibility of the design system of the surgical parlor , the strategies and mechanisms to achieve flexibility in the design system, the objectives of achieving flexibility in the design system and flexible surgical space.

The research aims to define flexible surgical spaces: It is an integrated design system responds to the circumstances of the forces of change depending on the characteristics of its systems .It is  the formative functional system adapted for career change ,within physical structure viable transformation and has the ability of  expansion in addition to the  social and interactive system with unexpected circumstances able to solve the intractable aspects.
