The Courtyard House: From Cultural Reference to Universal Relevance de Nasser O. Rabbat

The Courtyard House: From Cultural Reference to Universal Relevance

Editat de Nasser O. Rabbat
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 aug 2010
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.

Recenzii

'This volume, edited by Nassar Rabat, is the most ambitious book on the subject of the courtyard to date... By extending the range of discourse and deepening the methodological frame, the essays in The Courtyard House move its subject squarely into the global arena.' Traditional Dwellings & Settlements Review
'... students of vernacular architecture will find the earlier essays especially valuable [and] the book will also appeal to those with interests in the particular regions and cities discussed.' International Journal of Islamic Architecture

Descriere

Using an innovative architectural and social science approach, this book examines the political, economic, social, and spatial factors that affect cultural sustainability. Supported by a multiplicity of data including: field surveys, interviews with residents, architects, and planners, time diaries, drawings, photos, planning documents, observation notes, and real estate brochures, the book proposes new courtyard garden house design strategies that promote healthy communities and human care for one another, a concept that is universally applicable. It provides a holistic view, encompassing eastern and western tangible and intangible cultures in the theorization of 'cultural sustainability'.
