Abstract

The role of community participation as a power in building architectural output at the level of the act of thinking in architecture and the design process in non-existence is related to power and presence with act. The research is concerned with expanding knowledge in the direction of the holistic language and searching for the role that builds the privacy of the architectural product versus the community's societal identity. It studies the concept of act within the limits of existence at the level of community participation since the act of architecture is the act of man to meet certain needs and requirements. The research problem emerged due to the lack of clarity of the relationship between the power of social development and the act of architecture. The hypothesis of the research was built on reading the strength of the impact of community participation on the act of architecture. The research discusses the concept of community participation and its role in building architectural output and its reflection on community development. It explores the nature of community participation and development as an act within relationships, time, and the characteristics of the place, shifting from power to act in the architectural product through the multiplicity of forces affecting society. The research needs to clarify the concept of act in its general form first, and in terms of community development as an act, then move to the fields of knowledge and theory associated with it, and reading as an act of building fictitious models. It also discusses the concept of movement in terms of the capabilities of architecture and community skills down to development and the role of community participation in the development of society. Additionally, it presents contemporary architectural projects based on the principle of participatory design. The research concludes that community participation is one of the foundations of communication and dialogue and is a force for the community to make decisions. It emphasizes community participation in architectural design through a series of creative works in practice and design for difference. The research highlights that difference rather than consensus is crucial to participation, leading to the practice of architectural and urban design. It asserts that the role of the architect is to consciously create and preserve opportunities to maintain the participatory process through participatory design.
