This study illustrates the traditional built forms in the rural areas of the Aures, Algeria. It presents a typological approach to the spatial organization of the dwellings within the Aures valleys. The region presents a wide range of architectural styles and structural features demonstrating the creative character of the Aures people, whose act of building was a skill handed down from father to son and whose knowledge formed a part of the communities' heritage. Forms of building are discussed, with details of materials and construction, and placed in their economic and environmental settings
