Najdi Architecture: Mud Reflects Ancient Life
The Najdi architecture is considered one of the most prominent elements of the built heritage in the Najd region. It emerged in a desert environment and relied on local materials such as mud and date palm branches. Its designs are characterized by traditional construction methods like 'al-‘urooq' (frameworks), adobe, and simple building techniques, with an emphasis on climate adaptation and meeting daily living needs. The article details the construction of homes and the use of materials, highlighting traditional elements such as coffee, 'Al-Sifa' (a traditional decorative feature), and interior design, adorned with geometric and floral motifs. The Nadjam House Model in ‘Uneiza’ is showcased as a notable example; it has been restored and now hosts heritage events, exemplifying the harmony between functionality and beauty in Najdi architecture.
