Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 114-116). / The objective of this report is to explore the application of the support concept in the Saudi Arabian context, as a result of the author's interest in the concept of user participation. To do so, the following steps were followed. First; an analysis and observations were made for both traditional and contemporary houses. Second, twenty-four patterns were developed to explain the possible relationship between various patterns in the Saudi culture, and in order to clarify the capacity of the courtyard house. Third, a support for courtyard house type was designed by using the S.A.R. methodology. This report deals only with design aspects on the level of the individual dwelling. / by Jamel A. Akbar. / M.
