| Summary: | This paper investigates the traditional production process that defines the
perfect symbiosis between the site, culture, and construction engineering
lifestyle. Indeed, despite the limited means, ancient builders have erected
collective edifices well adapted and suited to the occupants' needs. This
study aims to assess ancient auressian clusters to investigate the
relationship between space and the resident community and establish a
reference cultural model. Therefore, Arris villages (Dechras) have been
selected as it represents the earliest and most significant settlements in
the Aurès region. This study is based on syntactic analysis of several
traditional houses dispositions using qualitative and quantitative approach
of Agraph and Depthmap sotware data processing. The spatial organization
analysis findings outline numerous genotypic similarities and few
discrepancies. Moreover, the outside is directly linked to the interior
space by the yard, representing the divergence pole. The outdoor is rarely
accessible by the roof (Skiffa) to enforce the domestic life introversion
aspect. |
