This book provides a comprehensive illustrative, linguistic, and technical guide to the interrelated architectural typologies and building techniques of Aleppo’s traditional houses. Targeting the novice and the specialist alike, it sets out to shine a light on the living but understudied historic residential fabric of the city. It also serves to remind professionals of the urgent need to maintain records and archives of knowledge and practice that are in danger of being lost to future generations.
