The authors chronicle the evolution of building techniques, detailing how climate, social customs, and craftsmanship shaped the city’s distinctive residential forms. They illustrate the interplay between privacy, ornamentation, and spatial organization, showing how these houses embodied both practical function and aesthetic refinement. The work argues for the preservation of this architectural heritage, situating it within broader historical and cultural contexts.
