Abstract
Abstract:
Mashrabiya has many functional values; Environmental, social, aesthetic and economic, that derived its strength and uniqueness due to its association with the philosophy of the Islamic faith, proved to be effective as a sustainable architectural solution. Thus, it influenced the thinking of modern-day architects and inspired them with innovative creative solutions on the revival of its heritage features in varying styles. This has achieved a major architectural breakthrough in the design of contemporary facades. Ceramics played a major role in designing sustainable facades. It has distinguished itself from other competing architectural materials with many characteristics related to production methods and functional performance.
The research problem is how to benefit from the functional values of the mashrabiya in light of the use of special ceramic bodies to enrich architectural ceramic facades with a sustainable thinking. The research aims to shed light on the heritage construction elements and their functional values that can be used to enrich contemporary ceramic facades, Activating the role of ceramics in the context of sustainable contemporary architectural design. Through the descriptive and analytical method to describe and analyze the functional aspects of the mashrabiya and its formulation patterns in the modern era, Describe and analyze the role of sustainable ceramics in architectural facades, to conclude a relationship between them. The experimental method includes experiments and practical applications of research.
Through theoretical study and practical experiments, the research has reached the design and implementation of a sustainable architectural ceramic system inspired by the functional values of the mashrabiya, aiming to exploit renewable energies to achieve thermal comfort in the building’s interior spaces. By reducing the air temperature, relieving direct sunlight, providing natural light, and purifying air from dust, in addition to aesthetic, economic and social characteristics.
