The courtyard house is one of the most enduring architectural
forms, transcending regional, historical and cultural boundaries.
Its balance of simple appropriate construction, environmental
control and social and familial structures continues to engage
architects and architectural historians. That the courtyard house
is still relevant today is indicated through its ability to
accommodate continual transformation without losing any of its
formal integrity and cultural roots. This book presents a series of
viewpoints on courtyard houses from different periods and in
different regions around the world; from the Harem courtyards of
the Topkapi Palace and the low-cost housing settlements of
Protectorate Casablanca, to contemporary design strategies for
courtyard houses in the arid Gulf region. Together, the essays
illuminate issues of particular relevance in architectural, art
historical, and conservation discourses today.
