Abstract EN

Since the nineties of the 20th century and during the first ten years of the 21st century the highrise buildings (skyscrapers) become one of the facilities which reflects civilization and urbanization, countries of the highest technology compete with each other to obtain the best results reached by the design in terms of height, not only that, but some skyscrapers are considered symbols of their regions, Some of them became an indicator of technical excellence .And so the research is a proactive stance to address the problems of the contemporary city center that is geared towards the adoption of skyscrapers as a new vision for the vertical urban design, which is expected to head the Iraqi centers of the cities towards the adoption of this ideology in the coming years .Therefore, we need to examine these buildings and identify the nature of their impact and effect on the surrounding urban context in terms of environmental, urban and social development.

The research problem in general is to provide frameworks of knowledge about the determinants of the architectural design of high-rise buildings (skyscrapers), while The particular research problem is determined by the lack of inclosive knowledge frameworks of how the integration of both architectural and urban levels in the architecture of high-rise buildings in general, while The defined research problem is the lack of frameworks inclusion in the Architectural studies on the extent and importance of the integration of both architectural and urban levels in the Architecture of high-rise buildings in city centers and the impact on enriching the urban context.

Research objective: is to provide knowledge about high-rise buildings and to find indicators for the integration of urban design of high buildings (skyscrapers).

In this research we plan to work in two main directions, The first direction depends on the theoretical study of determinants and design standards for high-rise buildings within the privacy of urban context in general, and draw several basic definitions of these buildings inorder to help achieveing the ultimate efficiency of the functional and aesthetic performance that integrates with the urban context.

The second direction: depends on the practical study of a group of tall buildings (skyscrapers) within the urban fabric and trying to investigate the basic indicators of the theoretical framework for the research on a group of Arab , global and local models to find the design mechanisms of high-rise buildings due to the urban privacy.
