Summary
Yemeni traditional tower houses, characterized by their multi-storey design (4 to 7 floors), reflect a deep connection between space planning and daily activities of the local people. Each floor serves distinct functions, adapting to cultural practices and lifestyle needs. The study, conducted through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and measurements at Bait Abu Luhum in Sana'a's Old City, reveals how these architectural features align with Yemeni social behaviors, offering insights into heritage conservation and traditional urban planning.
