The Fatimids ruled North Africa, and their architecture was characterized by simplicity, having a significant influence on local Berber architecture as well as Marrakesh and Andalusian architecture. Following the transfer of the Fatimid capital to Egypt and the establishment of the Great Cairo, the architecture changed dramatically, where the Fatimids began a massive building program, and they founded the princely city of Cairo. The original Fatimid Cairo was a luxurious palace city with marble floors grouted with gold and vast treasure houses filled with beautiful golden objects, according to contemporary writers. Most Fatimid architecture revealed their religious beliefs, As a result, the field of preserving this heritage has become one of the most important international especially in the age of the digital revolution and its advanced technologies and modern technological capabilities. Despite widespread agreement on the aesthetics of our Arab and Islamic countries' architectural heritage, attempts to revitalize it are difficult in light of recent architectural development needs. This research deals with the Influence of Fatimid Architecture Heritage on Contemporary Architectural Sculpture Designand the revival of aesthetic values of Fatimid architecture Sustainable Design of Contemporary Architectural Facades and the research problem is there is a scarcity of research to benefit from the aesthetic values of sculpture in the Fatimid architectural heritage.
, gravitation toward Western architecture and its imitation in ways that are incompatible with our environment
and a lack of archaeological aesthetic awareness of Islamic architecture in general, and Fatimid architecture in particular, as reflected in the absence of architectural production influenced by Fatimid heritage architecture and Objectives of Research is highlighting the sculptural architectural values of the Fatimids and the possibility of resurrecting these values in contemporary architecture , creating contemporary designs from the Fatimid architectural sculpture aesthetics confirm the Islamic identity , preserve identity and heritage by documenting, analyzing, and reviving sculptural aesthetic values in Fatimid buildings and identify the decorative artistic methods that surrounded the Fatimid Architecture and highlight and analyze their decorative features ,The Importance of Research is The significance of the study is based on the significance of the subject it addresses, which is the aesthetic values within the Fatimid architectural heritage, which constitutes a national wealth that is not limited to a single generation, benefit from the aesthetics of sculpture within the Fatimid architectural heritage in order to preserve and protect it from the effects of cultural invasion , Bring to light the aesthetic values of the decorative units in Fatimid architecture, as well as the relationship between sustainable architecture and Islamic architectural heritage , shedding light on the aesthetics of Fatimid buildings, and benefit from it at facades of contemporary sustainable architecture and recognizing the aesthetics of sculpture in Fatimid architecture and forging a link between the past and the present , Research Methodology is A descriptive and historical approach is used in the research ,Results is the design represents the most important pillar of architectural facades where the design of architectural facades reflects the internal function of the building , the innovative facades were characterized by balance, rhythm, and unity and emphasized the identity of the building ,the research stressed the need to benefit from Fatimid heritage to serve scientific research , Modern architectural trends need to provide aesthetic properties in order to achieve the building's compatibility with the surrounding environment by linking architecture with the arts ,The façade of the building is the first factor in judging the building's success or failure.The ability to incorporate architectural sculpture inspired by Fatimid heritage into contemporary architecture without requiring advanced technical skills, Sculptural contributes to the aesthetics of architecture by organizing the architectural form and allowing it to be read ,Fatimid architecture was distinguished by the abundance of sculptural formations in various forms, such as geometric and floral patterns and Calligraphy ornamentation , Sculptural ornamentation in the Fatimid era was distinguished as having the same aesthetic values despite the different time periods , Fatimid architecture has many historical, sculptural, and architectural values that have been preserved.
