Abstract

Technology is an essential aspect in all fields, and its presence is an active presence that represents the vision of architecture and enhances its orientation. In addition to providing practical solutions that increase the value of architectural facilities and enhance their efficiency, and due to the profound impact of technology, there is a need to test their products, especially in the field of housing, where technology is a two-edged dimension that enhances the positive aspects and can pose a number of problems. In this context, a number of construction technologies are being offered as a solution to architecture, especially in the area of housing. These techniques include pre-fabrication using cold-rolled steel plates, which present themselves as an appropriate, efficient, economical and quick solution to solve the housing problem. The objective of the study is to: Examine the aspects of this technique and measure its advantages by measuring its efficiency in the specific aspects of housing. According to the objective of the study, it took four procedural steps. The first was a statement of the cognitive aspects and frameworks for the construction of the buildings and their specific objectives, and technical aspects and dimensions (pre-fabrication using light-alloy iron).The second step is to develop a theoretical framework for the performance aspects and features adopted for building techniques, which is a base through which the selected technology features can be measured as a study objective. And then move (under third procedural step) - to measure the specific aspects of the theoretical framework and apply it to a number of projects approved for this technique, under a technical and field study. And then the fourth procedural step represented by drawing conclusions from the empirical study and the general and detailed conclusion
