| Abstract | Earth is one of the oldest building materials known to man that was used widely in the building in different parts of the world, and it has been developed through many different techniques. It has been an ongoing tradition in Syria since 11 thousand years as one of the important architectural styles in Syria. This form of architecture has been neglected in cities and even rural buildings because of many factors. This paper examines the feasibility of reconsidering this form of architecture since it emphasizes the importance of earth as a building material and it provides some local residential models that reflect the culture of adopting with nature and the economic and social aspects. Besides, this paper highlights the most important modern works in Syria that were considered as conservation and revival measures of this form of architecture. The paper concludes that earth building should be reconsidered and relied on in rebuilding the residential units in the countryside areas in Syria, by depending on both traditional experiences as well as modern techniques in this field. |
