Exploring the Hidden Dimension in the Islamic Architecture: The Medina of Tunis as a Study Case

The Medina of Tunis embodies a hidden dimension where mythological, sacred, ritual, and legendary elements shape living spaces and practices. This study reveals how cosmogony, the imaginary, and hidden dimensions influence urban and architectural design, acting as mirrors reflecting worldviews. By focusing on auto-centric processes—where inhabitant practices and representation systems interact—the research uncovers an unsuspected facet of Islamic architecture's lived experiences. The approach combines field survey with analysis of symbolic and spatial relationships, offering a nuanced understanding of how these intangible forces structure urban landscapes.
