Reaserch : Architecture style
Architecture style
I chose this project because nowadays many people work,
study and forgot about their mental health, and how important it is. According
to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is “a state of
well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope
with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is
able to make a contribution to his or her community”. our mental health can
be affected by many things and of those things is the physical environment.
For the project, I will study the work of Odile Decq, Odile
Decq is a French architect and urban planner. International renown came in 1990
with her first major commission: La Banque Populaire de l'Ouest in Rennes,
France. French architecture has a strong connection to Algeria. Of all the
architecture in Algerian cities the NEO-Moorish style, developed during French
colonisation, stood out. Buildings in this style decorated the Algerian
cities, giving them a diversity and an artistic richness.
I also find the work of Andrew Skurman, Skurman
inspirational. His expertise lies in the elegant and refined expression of
classical architecture and the interpretation of French, Georgian, and
Mediterranean styles. Andrew Skurman
built his practice on creating genuinely contemporary classical homes for his
clients. Andrew obtained his Bachelor of Architecture from Cooper Union in New
York City in 1976. Since 1976, he has worked in many positions, he worked as a
senior associate and a studio director before establishing his own company in
1992. One of Andrew s numerous achievements, he was named a Chevalier of Arts
& Letters by the Minister of Culture of France.
since the project site is located in Algeria, I wanted it to
have some Algerian features too
Algerian architecture style:
Royal Numidian era:
Under the ancient Berber kingdoms of Numidia, Algeria saw increased urban development. "Numidian Royal Architecture" is the surname given for the monuments constructed by the Numidian kings, which comprise tombs, tumuli and sanctuaries. Evidence of urban planning during the kingdom of Mauretania has been found in Morocco and Tunisia.(www.wikiwand.com)
The roman era:
The Romans built more than 500 towns and cities in what is now Algeria. When developing plans for their new cities.

The Islamic era (Moorish architecture):
Islam brought many features of the Muslim cities to Algeria, including the souq as a commercial center, hammam as
a social center, and the mosque and accompanying madrasah as a religious
center.
The Ottoman era:
Under Ottoman rule, a hybrid style developed influenced by traditional Turkish styles, The effect of Ottoman architecture was limited to the Algerian coast and, in particular, the regional capital of Algiers.
