Abstract

Man has always understood the connection between sculpture and architecture, as well as the connection between architecture and weaving. Despite long periods of neglect, the relationship between textiles and architecture has a long history. The study confirmed the functional and aesthetic significance of the relationship between sculpture, fabric, and architecture. The success of the architectural work is dependent on the integration of the architectural work and its sculptural value, and it is primarily dependent on the designer's understanding of the true role of sculpture in architectural work.. Architecture has become a rostrum for the art of relief sculpture, whether on the exterior facades or in the interior roads of architectural structures. As a result, relief sculpture contributed to the enrichment of architecture with aesthetic values that combined form and content. Monumental structures, particularly religious structures, are important indicators of the identity of the country they represent. We discover that Christian architecture aims to incorporate all of its spiritual principles into its design. The research problem is determined by ‎Shortage in making use of geometrical draft ‎system in Designs Ornament Architectural Churches Facades and the absence of attempts to development of ‎creative aspects in in Designs Ornament Architectural Churches Facades ,The research aims to developing a design methodology based on the use of a decorative geometrical draught system in Designs Ornament Architectural Churches Facades and confirm the relationships between building facade pattern design and building identity. The innovative designs were transformed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional sculptural designs for use on church facades. Where 28 designs were created using geometrical decorative draft systems and converted into three-dimensional sculptural designs, and 14 designs were applied virtually on church facades using computer programs. One of the most important findings of the study is that geometrical decorative draft systems can be used to create designs that suit all architectural formations used in architectural decorative inside and outside buildings. The study integrated the interdisciplinary disciplines of sculpture, architecture, and textile.
