      abstract = {Architecture in Iraq has a long and rich history that reflects the cultural, religious, and social evolution of its people. Traditional Iraqi architecture in cities like Baghdad, Mosul, and Basra has been influenced by Islamic, Mesopotamian, and Ottoman design principles (Al-Thahab, 2021). The traditional buildings reflect a harmony with nature, cultural symbolism, and practicality.},
