In love with vernacular #architecture. Fascinated by the #Mashrabiya.

« You have to find the right #distance between #people. Too close and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation ? » says @Hanifkureishi#quoteoftheday
The purpose of my research is to show how can an #architectural device as old as the #Mashrabiya prevail in modern times too, by helping #people connect to each other and emphasize the fact that #intimacy is not the opposite of #hospitality.

In order to understand the #Mashrabiya in yesterday���s and today’s #architecture I decided to compare three different Mashrabiyas that crystallize it in different historical periods to establish their differences and characteristics. Which ones do you think I chose 🧐?
