Abstract:
Tradition is a very important identity for any city, but sometimes people and governments do not consider their culture and do not seem to care if they lose their character. In this thesis, the author will study the urban fabric of the old part of Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. By analyzing the existing houses and the architectural elements that characterize these traditional houses in old Jeddah, the author will be able to create a design using traditional elements while adapting new materials and methods of construction. This investigation will help the author to revive the region’s heritage and make new houses with traditional architectural elements. By saving the traditional architecture for the citizens and for the future generations, a sense of identity and country will remain.
