Most The Algerian Berber region was animated by a network of human
settlements built according to the urban model of the Islamic medina and its
traditional habitat of adobe. Various rural and urban development and
transformation of planning and living spaces have recently come under the
pressure of rapid urban growth. This study aims to analyze and compare
Berber domestic spaces across a sample of houses from Aures valley, this
region of Algeria which presents distinctive geological, geographical and
historical characteristics. The study will look, first at the houses, then at
similarities and differences in space configuration in order to pose questions
of how this traditional architecture with its climatic and cultural solutions
could be utilized or transplanted in the new urban context. The study focuses
particularly on observing and analyzing different factors which influence
urban life like social patterns, family lifestyle, migration which may have led
to some modifications in the social structure. This attempt to analyse and
compare the physical structure of Berber housing and settlements in Algeria
might help to better understand the planning space organization and give us
clues to the formulation of communities in the past; their culturally and
climatically significant design methodology has considerable relevance to
contemporary architecture. This study attempts to learn how the traditional
Berber built environment may be considered as a good example of an end
product of an interaction between constant elements such as the religious
factors, the climate, the landscape and changeable elements such as
economic, technological and industrial means, that is to say a product of a
societal process.
