- Title
THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE TRADITIONAL ARAB HOUSE.
- Authors

- Abstract
This paper examines a selected small number of traditional Arab houses, where a set of 88 traditional courtyard and non courtyard houses taken from secondary sources and from five different cities across the Arab world was selected for the purpose of this research within the scope to understand their morphology and their spatial organization. The paper explores the morphology of these selected houses in order to investigate the functional and spatial properties where prototypes can be classified against historic data available in the record. This simple examination is meant to provide a start for further subsequent research by means of more complicated methods to study and detect embedded social patterns that these layouts may reveal -- which will follow in a subsequent paper.
