Abstract

It can be considered that there is rareness equivalent reaction in the academic field on the theoretical analysis for the new techniques in designing complex and morphed architectural forms. Therefore, the research aims to clarify out the most important techniques that depended on fragmentation in the architectural form to investigate the underlying cause for the new distinctiveness forms of the recent architecture era that depended on the chaos and fragmenting concepts. A content analysis is conducted on the new forms, which aims as well as to find out how these techniques can be applied in regard to the form conception to give it a new transformation features on the architectural forms. In this context the research will determine the main fragmenting techniques that cause the form to be break, divided or fracture, through illustrating each technique, and how it can be applied, and determine the most techniques that fragment and transform the whether the whole form or affect and transform only the form external skin.
