总结: | Morocco is one of the countries with the highest record of traditional living hammāms. Despite this fact, this key civic building remains poorly studied by researchers and professionals. This article presents a research into Moroccan hammāms and shed some light on the formation and evolution of the traditional urban space. It focuses on the hammāms of the world heritage city of Fez – also referred to as Medina of Fez – and presents an analysis of the architecture of this building type and its relationship with its urban environment. It investigates the historic context of the hammām, its origin and the different influences that have contributed in shaping its architectural identity. It also assesses its current state and discusses its elements of sustainability. (A.A.) |
