Abstract EN

Formal developments were characterized by different concepts, one of which was complexity, which affects the architecture because of its association with ambiguity and differentiation.

The research begins with the definition of the complexity property.

Then, the study discussed complexity as a design characteristic in terms of its phenomena and touched on the dimensions of complexity in the residential environment.

The research problem is a need for knowledge about the property of complexity in the forms of buildings and what is related to their design dimensions in residential environments.

The goal of the research was to identify the important vocabulary in complexity characteristic of formal and urban activation, leading to the theoretical framework on the dimensions of complexity in residential environments and complexity in buildings.

The research adopted the descriptive analytical method in the framework and applied it within the practical study.

The results showed a dimension of complexity was achieved with a percentage of 89.83%, and a dimension of complexity in buildings with a percentage of 86.05%.

The research concluded the complexity characteristic achieves the formal activation within the city, and it is linked to ambiguity within the architectural formations to achieve a contradictory architecture that generates multiple levels of meanings.
