Abstract

In order to create an integrated architectural text, which is a complicated art that blends beauty and practical elements, a rigorous design procedure is necessary. In this situation, the scenario’s role becomes crucial in developing the current architectural text and directing architectural approaches. In order to better understand how the scenario influences the design process and the interactions between various architectural aspects, this project intends to explore and analyze the impact of the scenario in developing and refining architectural text formulation approaches.

The study looks at the idea of a scenario and how it has been used in architecture, as well as the different functions it can serve in creating an architectural text, such as defining the creative vision, examining the surrounding area, and guiding communication with potential users. With an emphasis on how they might be employed in the design process, a variety of methodologies and techniques used in creating effective architectural scenarios are reviewed. As part of the research methodology, numerous case studies illustrating the influence of the scenario on architectural outcomes were examined in depth together with pertinent architectural literature The study also contains a basic questionnaire for architects and scenario formulation specialists to learn more about their perspectives and experiences. By examining the various functions of the scenario and offering helpful advice, this qualitative research aims to clarify how the scenario contributes to improving the description of contemporary architectural texts and directing design approaches. The research was focused on studying (the role of scripture in formulating contemporary architectural texts) because there is a knowledge gap in the general problem of research, which is to apply it in the production of contemporary architectural texts that the world is witnessing in light of automatic knowledge of the appropriate architectural method and its results. The scenario’s involvement in contemporary architecture in general and influential patterns in the creation of current architectural text in particular are not adequately and accurately described by existing theoretical concepts. Finding a thorough theoretical understanding of the concept of the scenario in contemporary architecture, the formulation of the contemporary text and the aspects associated with it in general, and the patterns of its realization in contemporary architecture in particular, are thus determined to be the research’s objectives. Knowing the scenario and how it contributes to improving the architecture for writing texts is the research challenge. The research issue was established through critique of a number of prior architectural studies and projects, which were characterized by (ambiguity in understanding about the modern architectural scene and subsequently its impact on the creation of architectural texts. To do this, a method based on the description, analysis, and synthesis of architectural studies and supporting studies must be used to create a thorough theoretical framework for the elements and needs connected with a case scenario.

To do this, a method based on the description, analysis, and synthesis of architectural studies and supporting studies must be used to create a thorough theoretical framework for the elements and needs connected with a case scenario.

In order to obtain more accurate and realistic results, as these factors (the functional style, the spatial context, and the building technologies and materials) represent, the research attempted to test the validity of the main hypothesis by applying it to three projects that were specific to one time period, a relatively contemporary period, a diverse style, and within diverse spatial contexts and relatively different building technologies and materials. (Factors that have an impact on the design decision to arrive at the right conclusion that demonstrates the extent to which the architect’s own scenario has been realized in creating modern architectural texts for his architecture. The study found that the situation has an impact on formulation of contemporary architectural texts, as it includes diverse and different value systems that give architecture its features are reflected in these texts. It became clear that the scenario has a clear role in the production to wrap up the entire research with texts in architecture, which is represented by using all available capabilities, components, elements, and relationships in a functional, environmentally conscious, and aesthetically pleasing manner, producing integrated, sequential, renewable, and contemporary architecture.
