Abstract

    Civilization stands as the most consequential bequest of humanity to succeeding generations. It is within architecture that a society's most profound expressions find form. Architectural compositions, in their diversity, are a reflection of the distinct features of cultures and communities. These edifices encapsulate architectural, design, and constructional elements that mirror prevailing cultural paradigms, customary practices, traditions, and prevailing cultural ethos. However, in the present milieu, abodes no longer faithfully depict the cultural and historical fabric of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The erosion of regional identity is palpable, underscoring the imperative to safeguard regional distinctiveness and the unique civilizational values inherent to Jordanian society. This imperative is realized through the creation of dwellings that serve as conduits for the region's historical narrative, encapsulating the pivotal civilizations that have thrived within the Kingdom.     Chief among these civilizations is the Nabatean legacy, commanding historical import and manifested through an array of archaeological vestiges. Notably, the Nabateans, as autochthonous denizens, stand apart from foreign civilizations, in contradistinction to the Roman, Greek, and other transient cultures that have left their ephemeral imprints upon the Kingdom's topography.
