AbstractAbout AuthorsReferences
Yemen is one of the oldest hotbeds of civilization. The ancient architecture of Yemen, which has been preserved for centuries, is well reflected in several existing cities, some of which have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The paper presents the results of a study of the influence of the environment on the formation of traditional Yemeni architecture and construction technology, as well as proposes a classification of Yemeni architecture depending on the climatic regions of the country. The environment has played an important role in defining the features of Yemen’s architecture. The variability of the relief led to a variety of materials and, consequently, to the creation of a variety of building methods and technologies and solutions used by people to achieve the best results, which contributed to the creation of the final image of Yemeni architecture. Comparing samples of Yemeni architecture, the uniqueness of the central highlands region is noted, in particular the sights of the city of Sana, which differ in their external decoration, and also have other characteristics when compared with the buildings of neighboring regions.
