Abstract
The traditional buildings in the Gulf area are intriguing due to the details applied and specific methods of construction. Why do the entrances have varying angles before leading to the court? How do the Barageel (airshafts and wind towers) work? And why do the Majlis (guest's room) have a specific treatment and are located so close to the entrance? What is the purpose of using multiple decorated openings in living rooms or bedrooms?. The architecture of these buildings has been designed and built to cater to people specifically within a culture and its environment; the details of this society are reflected in the features of buildings. This paper aims to explore the main aspects of the architectural shape of traditional buildings in the Gulf area and particularly in the United Arab Emirates.
