Architectural Product

Nasma M. Thabit
Department of Architecture\ University of Mosul

Abstract
The present study defines the research problem as a reformulation of a scientific
aspect to study of the relations between heritage and rhythm under influence of continuity,
and discusses the studies about the relations of rhythm with heritage continuity, this research
clarifies how strategically usage for concept rhythm in architecture in achieving the
communicated for architectural product depending heritage usage on different levels
mentally,formally and specially, research contains four axes: discussing the relation between
rhythm and heritage continuity, firstly, and discussing studies about rhythm,secondly, then
differentiation the theoretical framework, thirdly, at last concluding the applying operations
are submitted which represented by electing four main items of detailed theoretical field as
the following:(Nature of rhythm aims, Rhythm greation forms, What the resources of rhythm
is, Rhythm formal properties) which limit the concept in architecture, firstly,and the
application of the items by electing two important projects in Mosul architecture(as models)
and crystallized the hypothesis,secondly, at last discussing the results to submit the
conclusions in the end.
Keywords: Rhythm, Heritage Continuity, Contemporary Mosul Architecture
