Abstract

This volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types-cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc. To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building. A deeper understanding of the underlying types is indispensable for the success of the individual design, as well as for ensuring that tried and tested structures can be utilized, repeated, and varied in a wide variety of situations. For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure. The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc. The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle - the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners - is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types. Within each type, variants are distinguished according to how they organize space, their number of floors, etc. The range of possible solutions is presented in uniform ground plans newly drawn to scale.

Abstract

La maison avec cour est l'une des formes les plus durables d'architecture, qui transcende les frontières régionales, historiques et culturelles. Son équilibre de la construction appropriée simple, contrôle de l'environnement et les structures sociales et familiales continue d'engager des architectes et des historiens de l'architecture. Que la maison cour est toujours d'actualité est indiqué par sa capacité à s'accommoder continuellement par des transformations sans rien perdre de son intégrité formelle et de ses racines culturelles. Ce livre présente une série de points de vue sur des maisons à cour de différentes époques et dans différentes régions à travers le monde: depuis la cours du Harem du Palais de Topkapi et les colonies de logements à faible coût du protectorat Casablanca, à des stratégies de design pour des maisons à cour dans les zones arides de la région du Golfe. Ensemble, ces essais éclairent les questions présentant un intérêt particulier dans l'architecture, histoire de l'art, et les discours de conservation d'aujourd'hui.

Abstract

What readers will find in this book is nothing less than a treasure trove of ideas and urban style, particularly useful for architects. To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building. For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure. The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc. The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle - the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners - is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types.
