Abstract [en]

Basrah is the most beautiful part of Iraq. In terms of size, it is the second largest city after Baghdad. For more than 25 years, Basrah has almost constantly been at war or been in an Aggressive situation. Three major conflicts have dominated, from 1980 to 2003. The wars have brought great suffering to the Basrah population and city. The bombing caused great material damage. Today with reconstruction process the city require to take a stabile process of reconstruction by using environmental cods in urban planning and design which offer an exciting opportunity to achieve environmental, social and economic benefits. The concept of biophilia deserves a deeper explanation. The hypothesis is that this affiliation leads to positive responses in terms of human performance and health even emotional states. The new movement aims to create environmentally friendly, energy-efficient buildings and developments by effectively managing natural resources. This path will discover a far deeper integration of nature with the built environment and the potential synergies in exchanging energy and nutrients across the human-nature interface. The research will take in reading different experiences from 1980 until now, in which we will try to put all practical consideration necessary to be able to select competent urban and architectural elements adequate to Basrah condition.
