Abstract
Christian architecture was characterized within its various types by a set of unique design characteristics at the level of space organization, facades, and mass formation. The previous knowledge was concerned with church architecture and put forward the concept of invisible articulation through the sequence of movement of the user of space through devotional rituals (liturgy). A research problem is the lack of clarity on the nature of compatibility within the invisible details in the architecture of contemporary local Iraqi churches from the traditional. The hypothesis is that the compatibility between the invisible details in the architecture of the traditional local churches is more achieved than the realization of this relationship within the contemporary local churches. The quantitative research approach was adopted in three stages (building a theoretical framework on the characteristics of the invisible articulation through a set of vocabulary related to the invisible articulation within the behavioural-kinetic system. Then, the liturgical system, which is governed by a specific kinetic and temporal system and specific users), was applied to four samples of local churches. The measurement method and its method for the invisible articulation were also determined by adopting the (Justified Graph) technique to measure the ritual system and focused on recording the results and determining the conclusions.
