The contemporary products of the Iraqi architecture were no longer keeping pace with modernity and global developments. It was mixed with many styles of architecture over periods. The entry of modern architecture into Baghdad led to an accelerated change in the general morphological shape of the city through multi-story high buildings in the middle of the horizontal fabric. The aim of this research was to bring Iraqi architecture from the narrowness to the open ends as adaptive architecture. The research assumed that any building consistent with its general contents could be modified to the resilient selection procedure. The study used a descriptive analytical method in conjunction with a critical approach. A survey of architects and planners in Iraq was also performed. The method divided into three items; harmonization obstacles, the foundations of adaptive architecture and general Iraqi cultural contents. It made an evaluation and estimation the characteristics of the modernity movement within the concept of adaptive architecture. The methodology used qualitative approach based on the survey method (questionnaire). The results extracted indicated that the positive characteristics can unify the vision of modern architecture and urban trends towards adaptive architecture. The research concludes that adaptive architecture in Iraq was a sustainable and valuable in harmony with the contents of the common local culture. So, it could be considered as an adaptive architecture.
All theories have basic claims that represent their ideas and principles and are announced through their written texts or speeches (discourses). They may be lead to many movements and applications, as in the architecture field, like "the architectural modernism movement" which is emanating from the modernism theory. The research problems are the weakness of testing methods and the weakness of checking the ideas credibility compared to the nature of the embodied product and its connection to the philosophical origin of the movement to which it belongs, (the gap between application and theory). Therefore, the research aims to add a mechanism to test the credibility of allegations and assesses the power of representation. its hypotheses assumes the mechanism depends on "making a comparison between what the architectural idea claims and the level of its embodiment with the mother movement claims, on the other hand, any architectural product has claim that belongs to theory or an architectural movement and it must have an internal agenda to represent that identity.
