The Design Concepts of "Shanashel", and its Effect on Functional and Environmental Performance
Abstract
The design concepts of uaditional architecture have had greet potentiality through
time for all social and environmental needs of the place and its inhabitance.
And the idea of analyzing their contents and meaning to understand their effects in
architecture on it both sides (theory and practice), in order to adapt their beneficial parameters
for modem architecture is so important for environmental design.
This research concems with one of the design concepts of the traditional houses in the
old fabric of the city which is the (Shanashel), and discuses their geometrical configuration,
formal look, and material effect to show its functional and environmental performance
(climate and acoustics). And has emphasized the later, as the facades acts as screens which
attenuate sounds due to banier theory and have good influence on acoustical environment
through diffusion and diffraction. In order to have some design parameters for architectural
design and research process within the modern look.
