摘要：The research aims to use the stone as a building material in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region for preserving the architectural heritage of Kurdistan. The use of stone reminds us of the ancient Stone Age in which man used caves as a refuge at that time. Later、Kurds improved their home and achieved distinguished architectural heritages、such as the Bahdinan gate at Amediye city、traditional houses in Akre city and Dalale Bridge in Zakho city. Akre city has been taken as an example of local architecture in the Kurdistan Region、because of the use of stone as a building material in addition to its topographic nature and its ancient citadel which is standing within the limestone rock. At the beginning of this century、there was a decline in the use of stone due to the development of newly manufactured materials such as concrete and steel plastics. These materials led to apparent disharmony between local architecture and the new materials. With the help of this research、we have tried to clarify the types of stones in Kurdistan、and their physical–mechanical、and laboratory characteristics which are suitable for building construction. The research discusses economic and technological solutions to achieve the required goal. The research emphasizes the use of stone in Kurdistan due to its characteristics、such as thermal、sound and waterproof isolation in addition to its beautiful architectural properties. In the research、many conclusions have been mentioned and required recommendations are suggested. © The Author(s)、under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
