Elements and principles of Al Ulaya urban development on the Riyadh Air Base.

Recalling Traditional Urban Form in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Urban settlement patterns are influenced by peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practices and behaviors, which in turn are reflections of their values and culture. Similar to many traditional cities around the world, the traditional Islamic city is a reflection of the Islamic beliefs and culture. Most of the urban components in the traditional Islamic city were generated from the Islamic legal system (Sharia law) and cultural customs (Urf). Unless the two laws have a conflict, they can both play the role of structuring the fabric of the society and the city (Akbar). Every Islamic city also has its own identity because there are

varieties of customs, cultures, and environments within each city. The construction of the traditional cities in Saudi Arabia, which is the center of the Islamic world, was influenced by Islamic principles, creating various forms and architecture. Those urban components, elements and principals have been transformed and lost as the nation faced economic, cultural, and political change )20th century.(Neyazi in the late

Abstract

Elements and principles of Al Ulaya urban development on the Riyadh Air Base.

Recalling Traditional Urban Form in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The construction of the traditional cities in Saudi Arabia, which is the center of the Islamic world, was influenced by Islamic principles creating various forms and architecture. Due to economic, cultural, and political changes, the traditional urban form has been transformed and destroyed. This paper highlights the importance of the traditional urban approach in Saudi Arabia, which was built to meet the needs of the people. The satisfaction and the belief that traditional approach to urban design can solve some of the current urban crises in Riyadh, motivate and drive this proposal. Therefore, the intent of the proposal is to create new elements and principles of urban design that are inspired by the traditional urban form in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Hopefully this proposal will be considered and implemented in the new development taking place in Riyadh and its surrounding cities. In addition, creating a successful model in the abandoned area of the Riyadh Air Base is a magnificent opportunity for future urban .development in the city
