Most of researches lacked to clarify the sufficient aspects relating to shape grammar especially the analytical methods with regard of Islamic architecture ، the research problem concentrated on this as stipulated [Lack of sufficient visualization of the role of shape grammar technique in reading and analyzing Islamic architecture]and the objectives are [detect the analytical methods of shape grammar and exploring its synthetic potentials]، The method of solving the research problem consist of three stages ، first establish a comprehensive conceptual framework concentrated on shape grammar technique inside and outside the field of architecture،second :conducting study; in addition the selected sample and the constraint of choosing it were described [ the samples were eight Islamic palaces، four of them belong to the Umayyad era ، and the others to the Abbasid period ]،then identifying the method of measurement.The third: analytical process of the selected samples.
