This paper is aimed at investigating example model in Dutch contemporary cases and, thus, finding out typological characteristics and presenting various applicable planning skills, which are interpreted from understanding valuable historical urban elements. This study covers following steps; Firstly, intensive studies on the spots, visiting Dutch cases, made it possible to grasp the prevailing tendency toward assessment of this area, Secondly, the normative typologies of courtyard space elements are listed in lower categories according to the Rob Krier's criteria on the evaluating urban spaces, Thirdly, the morphological features of void and solid spaces were analyzed. Consequently, those dutch cases showed very broad spectrum in courtyard housing and close relationship to the total planning concepts of housing blocks in urban context. |
