The concept of employing bioinspired, eco-friendly architecture has attracted the interest of architects, material scientists, as well as researchers in the field of Biomimetics. Inspiration of nature is carried out as a guiding spirit and it creates an advanced field by (direct and indirect) mimicking and observing or Biomimicry, as a tradition of lifestyle. In the field of architecture, looking at nature and living beings and seeking solutions in them is of great value, which is useful in reducing design problems to a minimum, and choosing the most appropriate materials for it. Nature is a great permanent factory with aesthetic aspects. For all of that, it was possible to find solutions for the design by mimicking the growth characteristics of living beings, as one of the solutions that can be adopted to maintain context and access to the community, thus achieving sustainability. Moreover, architecture inspired by living beings has the characteristic of livelihood (bio-architecture) and has the ability to provide good job spaces at a reasonable cost in an ecofriendly way. However, the methods of transportation from the organism as (growth) to architecture are still less reliable since the architects do not realize the real possibilities of these methods. Still, the problem of the current research from that emerged represented by "the unclear of the role of growth characteristics in achieving functional and environmental sustainability in contemporary architecture". The aim of the research is to "reveal the role of these characteristics in achieving functional development and environmental sustainability of contemporary architecture" depending on what the technician provided of digital for transferring these properties to architecture and finding different solutions according to changing needs over time and to produce sustainable (bio)architecture. The first step to answer this problem was building a theoretical framework for the aspects of growth and the methods for transferring it to architecture. Then the applying it to two selected projects to touch on the results and conclusions of the study.

The processes of changing architecture became necessary with the change of the basic needs and requirements of society, and in order for the architecture to survive, it must possess the necessary characteristics in achieving this (living architecture). As simulating the basic principles of living organisms in nature (such as growth) plays a major role in achieving this continuity. The importance of this process lies in the valuable buildings for its importance in society. Many studies addressed the conservation, reuse, rehabilitation, and did not address how they grow after making the appropriate changes to the future need, by taking advantage of nature. Therefore, the research problem lies with "the cognitive need to clarify the mechanisms of functional growing in the valuable buildings " and the aim of the research was to "explore the mechanisms of functional growing in the valuable buildings and their role in the permanence of those buildings." The first steps to solve this problem were to build a theoretical framework that includes those mechanisms and contains a set of variables to be applied to a group of elected projects in order to reach results and conclusions.

Spatial justice is the main problem in many cities. It is located between social ideas and geography concept Spatial justice examines the situation of neighbourhoods in terms of how services are distributed and the extent to which they have various socio-economic and infrastructural indicators. In the present article, the situation of spatial justice in the distribution of municipal services in the 18 neighbourhoods of Baghdad's districts has been investigated. The research method is descriptive

Optimization of energy consumption in buildings can be examined from different perspectives. In this study, optimizing energy consumption by examining the role of sustainable materials in reducing building temperature is on the agenda. For this purpose, first, stable materials effective in reducing the temperature of the building, with the aim of not using the cooling system in summer are examined. The ahp hierarchical method is used to rank the studied materials.

in recent decade, as the results of frequent wars and internal conflicts, many archaeological and heritage regions of iraq were subjected to sabotage and looting. some of these regions were totally destructed. therefore, searching for mechanisms, means and methods for conserving and reconstructing the heritage is of great importance. this research presents a new proposal that contributes to the conservation of heritage and antiquities virtually through digital sustainability and digitization.
