  • What do you think about Middle Eastern Architecture? What about it do you like and dislike?

  • Answer:

    .....I can't recall middle eastern architecture in the books but what I noticed here there are many old buildings constructed in the kingdom without aesthetic design like the buildings are constructed like boxes in squares or rectangles and with big windows that are always closed. Usually the color of the building is a shade of brown, sienna, beige, off white and dirty white. They are more looking to the big space of the area rather than the design and finishings. Also, in the residential houses, there are many divisions of rooms and sometimes its confusing because there are many doors and rooms especially in the big houses.....what I found out there are areas for males only and areas for females only......whheeww!

well.. I'm a saudi in saudi so i guess i like it. i like the old najdi style mud houses and the bedewin tents, the colors and style..it would be nice to have a small corner or extra room in the house that takes u back to old traditional middle eastern designs and architecture...in fact a few ppl own a bedewin tent in their garden and hang out there in cool evenings drinking arabian coffee with friends. but when it comes to curved arched entrances and designs that look like the inside disney's Aladdin's palace that to me would look nice in mosques. i'm not a big fan of moroccan architecture cause they use too much turquoise blue and tiles which give the effect ur in a spa or bathroom when ur actually in a dining area ?!.. nowadays western architecture and sky scrapers are taking over not in the middle east only, but all over the world..u cant even tell which country ur in. although the beauty of middle eastern architecture is still seen today in mosques

It's very interesting and unique. Different to architecture in the wester world. I think its very nice. Nothing bad about it because culture is different in evey country and you just need to respect that

It's missing ART , not in all cities offcourse , i think dubai is an exception

There isn't any. Dubai for instance is all designed by European and American architects

Arabs have good aesthetic sense, they like perfection, in form and function at the same time. Desert sand color almost beige, is dominant everywhere. Good cladding work in all kinds of cladding materials can be seen everywhere. Good landscaping and use of granite/marble. Structurally over designed buildings with highly expensive finishes. High rise boundary fences with small windows, to block strangers view from outside. There are so many different zones in a house, mainly divided for men n women. Men's public area, semi public area, men's women's public area, semi public area, Family's public are, semi-public area and private zones. Arabs are very sensitive about smells, they have external kitchen (dirty kitchen), for thorough cooking and internal kitchen for just worming up the food and display/presentation of food.
