dc.description.abstractThis thesis discusses one of the most distinctive issues of architecture debates about modernity and architectural identity. It aims to measure the influence of modernity to architectural identity on house facade in Erbil City, Iraq. The objectives of this research attempt to evaluate the factors' degree of change, develop a model for visual analysis, examine the variations in the perceptions of the respondents and investigate the correlation between house facade modernity factors and its continuity of architectural identity. Through the literature review, the study investigates a conceptual model for modernity and formulates the properties of architectural identity. The study adopted a mixed-methodological approach, which combines qualitative and quantitative surveys. Sample selection for qualitative survey uses stratified method in which the selected areas in this study are divided into four zones (Zone 1 to 4), whereas simple random sampling process is applied for quantitative survey when distributing the questionnaires to the selected respondents who are architecture students at the local university and architects in Erbil City. For qualitative analysis, the methods used rely on direct observation and visual documentation. This analysis deals with stylistic differences of the house façade. Quantitative analysis however comprises results of descriptive, factor analysis, correlation and multiple regression analysis. Findings from the results of this analysis support the research assumption with statistical evidence that house façade modernity factors have direct influence on the continuity of architectural identity. The study concludes that “Mass and Articulation” and “Architectural details” are the most influential factor in interpreting the continuity of architectural identity. The study makes an important contribution to address dialectical relationship between modernity and architectural identity, by ending the conflicting theoretical approaches regarding the influence of modernity on architectural identity. The quantitative findings provide statistical evidence that house façade modernity factors have direct influence on the continuity of architectural identity.en_US
