Abstract
Many Architectural studies deals with concept of adaptation in architecture with different ways various according to the trend of each study, this show’s the importance of studying the concept of adaptation in the architectural field in general. This research tray to focus on the concept of the adaptation of type in architecture because it’s important in the generation of the new architectural models and the reiteration of the typological chain. Reviewing previous studies focusing on this concept show’s the absent of a theoretical frame witch separate a specific items of the process of adaptation of the architectural types through different natural and cultural effects. Thus, the problem her was the absence of a specific imagination of the procedures and mechanisms for achieving adaptation of the architectural types through different natural and cultural effects. To solve this problem, the researcher adopted the approach of building a theoretical framework for the adaptation of type in architecture, Witch includes the items: The target of adaptation, the kind of effect which cues adaptation, the procedures and mechanisms to achieve adaptation. The achievement of these items depended on the help of the previous studies.
