Bahrain consists of a group of islands in the Arabian Gulf. Bahrain boasts several civilizations stretching over five thousand years. The deep Arab roots meant that they traditionally had an embedded Arab culture and traditions. This is a unique book focusing on the designs and architecture of old Bahraini traditional village houses. The book focuses on how the old Bahraini builders demonstrated such workmanship and use of local materials to build marvelous designs and architecture to suit their way of life and traditions. The book is divided into Sixteen chapters. Each chapter describes with unique images how centuries old village traditions and religious thinking were reflected in the design of these houses. This book is an excellent reference for people with different professions and interests such as historians, architects, artists and designers, who are interested in the traditions, culture and history of beautiful Bahrain. The book will also be of interest to Bahrainis who want to read and view memories of their villages and how their ancestors used to live.
