Abstract

The study addressed such an important topic, which is the flexibility of design thought that was used by ancient Egyptians in designing houses and the way they excelled in considering topographic, social, economic and environmental factors. The study started by shading light on topographic and environmental factors that are represented in the general climate of northern, central and southern parts of Egypt, in addition to the effect of the Nile River. Then, the study reviewed the development of housing design throughout the different ages starting from pre-family era to the modern state then identifying the general features of the ancient housing. Accordingly, analytical study was conducted for three cities regarding site planning, horizontal projection and other different factors (economic – social - environmental). The study concluded with a group of results that show the superiority of ancient Egyptian and achieving flexibility in designing houses and setting its design features.
