Islamic Courtyards: The Relationship Between Roofs and Courtyards

A neighborhood viewed from above. Flat roofs connect to form a continuous surface, interspersed with green square courtyards, like holes dug into the rooftops; the rooftops have parapet walls, stairwells, and wind catchers, with drying and nighttime activities taking place on them. The courtyard and the rooftop are two outdoor layers.
Avoid: depicting the roofs as pitched roofs, irregular courtyard shapes, removing parapet walls to allow roofs to see through each other, ignoring the living uses on the rooftops.

從上方俯視的街區。平屋頂連成一片,中間散佈著一個個綠色的方形院子,像挖在屋頂上的洞;屋頂上有女兒牆、樓梯間與捕風塔,晾曬與夜間活動都在上面。院子與屋頂是兩個戶外層。避免:把屋頂畫成斜屋頂、院子的形狀不規則、拿掉女兒牆讓屋頂互相看穿、忽略屋頂上的生活使用。
