Simulated typical sequence of the emergence of a cluster of houses in a traditional Islamic neighbourhood setting. What is shown are only three steps from a sequence of eight. Step 4 shows the laying out of courtyards, step 6 the location and layout of rooms around the courtyard, and step 8 the final configurations. The simulation is described in the book by Howard Davis, The Culture of Building, New York, 1999, pp. 202–206.
