Abstract

The courtyard house is a typical design plays a significant role in shaping traditional house’s physical layout, and climatic condition. The architectural characteristics of a traditional courtyard house led to a comprehensive clarification of its spatial and mass organization. Historically, the Erbil citadel has served as a symbol of Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan's capital. In addition, buffer zones around the citadel are defined by UNESCO to be within the World Heritage list. This study aims to analyze the spatial and geometrical characteristics of traditional courtyard houses in Erbil City. Then, it examines similarities and differences among the various architectural styles and explores the main key architectural elements. A qualitative inductive content analysis was used involving drawings, photographs. The findings show the variations in the house spatial- mass composition. The study concluded that three-sided courtyards, wooden doors, traditional windows, Arches, and brick ornamentation are the most common architectural components in traditional houses.

埃尔比勒市传统四合院的共同建筑特点

四合院是一种典型的设计，在塑造传统房屋的形体布局和气候条件方面发挥着重要作用。传统四合院的建筑特点导致其空间和体量组织的全面澄清。历史上，埃尔比勒城堡一直是伊拉克库尔德斯坦首府埃尔比勒的象征。此外，埃尔比勒城堡周围的缓冲区已被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。本研究旨在分析埃尔比勒市传统四合院的空间和几何特征。然后，研究各种建筑风格之间的异同，并探讨主要的关键建筑元素。研究采用了定性归纳内容分析方法，涉及图纸和照片。研究结果表明，房屋的空间和质量构成各不相同。研究认为，三面庭院、木门、传统窗户、拱门和砖雕装饰是传统房屋中最常见的建筑元素。

期刊介绍： in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
