TOWARDS NEW HOUSING STRATEGIES: CASE OF MENAA HOUSING IN THE AURES

21837

The Aures is rich in vernacular human settlements; the old core of Menaa is considered to be one of the well-known traditional housing. Its perched houses have an architectural and urban specificity described as universal heritage, produced by a patriarchal agricultural society. Since independence, the establishment is in a perpetual transformation, which has disfigured its morphology. A new emerging type of housing, called self-built housing is responding to the socio- economic and cultural conditions of the user. The purpose of this article is to present a summary of the transformations which occurred in the traditional kernel. The study is based on a comparative and typo-morphological approach. The survey was used to collect baseline data. The work aims to know the genesis of emerging typologies and to detect morphological phenotypes and genotypes in order to build an appropriate model for the contemporary inhabitant.
