Abstract
It is noted that the contemporary architecture has influenced by western architectural styles and it has just become an imitation to west models which reflect western values and traditions that are different from Islamic values, thus contemporary architecture lacked all human and social values. The study aims at studying values in contemporary architecture to check the values that must be developed to get architectural model that suits the needs and requirements of the inhabitants and their Islamic instructions. To achieve these aims, the researcher determined some pivots by which he can achieve these goals. The researcher concluded the required values that must be prevailing in architecture: achieving privacy by its types, caring for family, neighbors' rights and the social values. The study revealed that the factors that lead to lack values and their deterioration in contemporary architecture are: the deterioration of Islamic civilization, the education of the architect, the deterioration of economic level, laws of building, mass media and financial factors. The study revealed that the contemporary architecture lacked human and social values which were greatly prevailing in past architecture. At the end, the study concluded that contemporary architecture in Assiut city lacked the values whether in governmental, official or random architecture.
