TECTONIC ARCHITECTURE AS AN APPROACH TO DESIGNING INTERACTIVE SPACES

This study aims to clarify the importance of tectonic buildings and flexibility of the interactive spaces in them and appears the basic relationship between construction and architecture since the beginning of thinking about the building, And how atectonic construction helps when they are one of the main determinants of the architectural design process to transforming architectural thought from a state of imagination to a state of tangible and visual reality. This concept has affected the internal and external spaces of the building and its interaction with the environment and the user; so to Understanding the concept of tectonics requires a strong understanding of this concept and Knowing the structural system of the building. When Looking at most of the architectural design processes, we find that the structural form rarely generates the architectural form, but comes to be responsive to design requirements and interconnected with the design concepts of the project . The importance of the study comes in the lack of research and studies that discussed architectural tectonics and This study will present some discussions regarding tectonics that developed during the past decades, up to the modern era, and the extent of its interrelationship with architecture and construction and discuss the changing concepts of tectonics and the physical and architectural importance of them and their impact on the interaction of the building with its spaces and among the users of these spaces.
