Description

This scholarly work explores the structural logic of premodern Arab-Muslim cities through detailed analysis of the medina of Fez. Drawing on The Book of Walls, a historical Islamic legal discourse, the author examines how architectural elements define urban space and social life in Muslim cities. The study treats space as a critical analytical category, moving beyond traditional approaches to Islamic architecture. It contributes to academic understanding of how physical structures shape community, movement, and daily experience within the medina's complex urban fabric. Ideal for scholars, architects, and students of Islamic studies, urban planning, and Middle Eastern civilisation seeking deeper insight into the relationship between built environment and cultural practice.

Key Features

Analyses the medina of Fez using Islamic legal theory and architectural interpretation to reveal urban spatial organisation.

Employs The Book of Walls as a primary source to determine architectural meaning and its role in structuring Muslim city life.

Breaks methodologically with traditional views of Islamic architecture by treating space as a critical analytical framework.

Contributes to scholarship on Muslim urban design by examining how walls and spatial boundaries define community and daily experience.

Part of the Culture and Civilisation in the Middle East series published by Routledge for advanced academic study.
