Abstract
This paper reconstructs the patio-house’s typological process within the walled city of Zaragoza. The hypothesis of this study is that the tissue of the walled centre of Zaragoza shows a continuous transition from the Roman domus into the patio houses following a subdivision of the original plots. Archaeological excavations in other Umayyad territories, i.e. Palmyra and Bet Shean, revealed a continuous transition from the late Roman to the Umayyad period (Raymond, 2008). Also Caniggia (2001) interpreted the residential building types in Naples as the evolution of the Roman domus substratum. This paper received the honourable mention for the Prix de Istanbul, best AACCP 2021 paper, awarded by Özyeğin University.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
