Employing the Mythological Fourth Dimension in Contemporary Architecture Keeping Pace and Belonging

Abstract

Over time, various architectural trends evolved and became categorized as contemporary architecture. Despite the existence of contemporary mythological architectural examples, a discernible vision for integrating the mythological fourth dimension into contemporary architecture is notably absent, which constitutes the core research problem. Consequently, the aim of the research focuses on proposing a vision for employing the Mythological Fourth Dimension in contemporary architecture. To achieve this aim, the descriptive method was adopted to analyze theoretical concepts, the analytical method was used to illustrate the mythological fourth dimension in buildings from various contemporary architectural currents and the comparative method was employed to compare the mythology of buildings within contemporary architectural currents with mosque architecture. This process led to the proposal of a vision that employs the fourth mythological dimension into contemporary architecture, culminating in results and recommendations that contribute to the application of the proposed vision. Among the most significant findings is that architectural projects incorporating the mythological fourth dimension gain exceptional tourist appeal and stimulate the local economy through tourism. Furthermore, integrating the mythological fourth dimension into contemporary architecture is an effective strategy for revitalizing and disseminating a community's heritage, values, and beliefs.
