The impact of the morphological dimension of digital architecture on the strategic value of the urban fabric

Various models of digital architecture have appeared globally, affecting its context in different formats and dimensions. With its free forms and complex topology, digital architecture creates new formation of cities and affects their visual, material, and morphological features in terms of re-reading and defining their spaces, urban landscape, and even their functions this creates a space for continuous dialogue that encourages social interaction and contributes to creating economic attraction points that positively affects the spatial and strategic value of the urban fabric thereby transforming into an opportunity for its redevelopment and the rehabilitation of some isolated areas within, in addition to emphasizing the environmental aspect Via the creation of environmentally friendly buildings. The impact of the morphological dimension of digital architecture on the urban fabric of the city is not clear in previous studies. The aim of this research to clarify the impact of the morphological dimension of digital architecture on the strategic value of the urban fabric, it is assumed that adding digital buildings to the fabric raises their strategic value through the impact of their dimensions in the surrounding context. Additional aims are to measure the strategic value of the site and clarify the importance of selecting the sites of digital architecture in reviving parts of the urban fabric to achieve economic, social, and environmental development. The space syntax method of structural analysis is adopted with analysis conducted by adopting the extension of the Axwomen program within the GIS program to measure indicators of the strategic value of the Central Bank project in Baghdad as it is a product of digital architecture. The strategic value of the newly built Central Bank site was determined as (5.2), i.e. for its location within the nucleus of integration, as it is directly linked to the axes of the main streets and directly connected to the Jadriyha node, which has the highest strategic value of (9.34) there for the results of the study confirm the need to determine the sites for adding digital buildings within urban development processes to reactivate weak areas in a way that enhances spatial connectivity and enhances social and economic communication.
