Abstract
The research problem has been determined through the necessity of the
architectural elements and determining their relations to one anther with the aim of
studying the shifts that have been taken place in Mosul architecture. The research
methodology encompasses the application of this frame to buildings that date back to
the various stages of architectural change. Consequently, to find out change that have
occurred in Mosul architecture elements and the diachronic relations which testify to
either continuity or change in it. The research also embraces the method of collecting
data on building samples. These include (20) building samples chosen according to
objective criteria. Then, a case study on these samples has been applied using a special
formula. In Consequence, results relating to the research hypothesis have testified,
together with the finding, significant variance between the architectural phases through
