Behaviour Patterns in Arabian Open Space

Professor Masoud from University of Dammam, Saudi-Arabia, gave some theoretical background on how to document and assess behaviour patterns. The theory was illustrated with a case study related to a large beach recreation area that has been designed recently for the city of Dammam. Mr Masoud provided interesting insights into the outdoor behaviour patterns of traditional muslim societies. The discussion highlighted again the importance of analysing behaviour patterns as part of the design process in landscape architecture.
