| Abstract | ||
| The contemporary architectural reality in Iraq has witnessed a set of phenomena that led it to the apparent deterioration and decline of the architect’s role in formulating designs with sound architectural features generated through a clear architectural design methodology carried out by the designer and resulting in the emergence of the so-called random architectural product through a group of individual experiences that led To increase the urban chaos. Accordingly, the research problem was determined by the ambiguity of scientific knowledge about the concept of random thinking and its relationship to the design process, which in turn led to the emergence of architectural products that do not go beyond being irregular experiments subject to individual trends not belonging to a specific scientific thinking style within the recognized methods of thinking. The research seeks to clarify the concept of random thinking and its relationship in architecture by building a theoretical framework for the concept, beginning by reaching a procedural definition of the concept of random thinking in architecture and its relationship to the architectural design methodology used by the designer, leading to an explanation of its characteristics, causes and most important repercussions at the level of the local architectural product. | ||
