| Abstract | ||||
| All the evidence and variables around us confirm that humanity is moving into a new era completely different from the previous historical eras. What is important to us in this event is to follow up on these transformations and monitor all the variables that affect us negatively or positively in all fields. To study the impact of these changes on the role of architect in the domination and bias of the thinking of globalization. Several studies have dealt with globalization and information technology and their impact on form and function in architecture, but there is no study that dealt with their impact on the role of the architect theoretically and functionally, so the main research problem emerged in the presence of a lack of knowledge towards the impact of globalization and information technology on the role of the architect, and whether global changes affect our economic opportunities as architects and the quality of services we provide to society or not. Therefore, the research aims to explore the main factors that contribute to the formation and formulation of the role of the architect, and the fact of this role, whether it is fixed or variable, and what is the reality of the impact of globalization and information technology on the elements of architectural work, and to achieve the goal, the research resorted to the following procedures:- 1. Building a comprehensive theoretical framework for globalization, information technology and the role of the architect by studying some architectural literature that dealt with the subject. 2. Conducting an opinion poll on an appropriate sample of architects on the nature of the role of the architect, and extracting a model that illustrates the main axes in the formation of the role of the architect theoretically and functionally.
