Authors : Neghli Ibrahim .
Abstract
The traditional houses in AïnDefla, especially in the Zeddine area, are more than just buildings, they are a reflection of the region’s rich cultural and historical identity. These homes tell stories from different historical eras and showcase a range of architectural styles, all built using locally sourced materials. Unfortunately, like many heritage-rich regions in Algeria, AïnDefla hasn’t received enough scholarly attention to fully explore and explain the depth of its architectural legacy. From this standpoint the traditional homes of Zeddine, which stand out for their unique and varied residential features. A closer look at these houses reveals that their layout is influenced by several key factors, such as the local climate and the natural topography. What’s most striking about these homes is their simplicity and sense of balance. They are modest, functional, and completely free from excessive decoration or luxury, beautiful in their practicality and deeply connected to their surroundings
